KEYWORDS are Case Sensitive - use all lower case for keywords.

ipSentry utilizes a large set of key words to represent device, terminal, server, naming, statistics, states, and other information unique to a given event. These variables are useful for email messages, alpha pager messages, launching external commands, and SNMP trap descriptive, and some customization options within the detail reporting.

Here is a list of currently documented ipSentry keywords supported and a description of their translation.
Please note that version 4 keywords are currently supported - however, since they have been deprecated, they are no longer documented and may eventually become unsupported in future versions.

*Date / Time Formats: The date formats shown as long and short date / time format are based on your system date/time formatting configuration.

Example:
In the following example, the email message subject needs to contain the name of the system on which ipSentry running, the entry name, and the current state.

In the message text, we want to include date, time, name, descriptive, status, the verbose response information, and in this case, our NOTES on the device entries contain important information that should accompany alerts, so we also want to include the notes.

Email Subject: %%local.computer%%: %%mach.name%% is %%mach.state%%

Message Text:
%%date.short%% @ %%time.long%%
%%mach.name%% is %%mach.state%%
%%mach.desc%%

Returned: %%mach.trimres_f1024%%

--[IMPORTANT NOTES]--
%%mach.notes%%
