1. Add one tag value for the connection that needs an alias by right-click and going to Properties then choosing the Tags tab. The tag value should in the format of “#name.value”. For example, if you want to use “Mickey Mouse” as tag, then you need add “#name.Mickey Mouse” and the case isn’t sensitive.2. Go to Configure | Alarm Actions and open the existing action that you want to modify.3. Modify the action of sending email by clicking the link in action of “Sending an email to …”4. Replace all the text “{{CONNECTION_NAME}}” in Email title and message with {{TAG_VALUE #name}} by using “{}Variables” drop down menu. There is a value “Tag Value” in the drop down list of this “{}Variables” drop down menu, just select it and it will replace the existing text “{{CONNECTION_NAME}}”. -
Additional Information
The tag values can only be applied to aliases and not databases. Enhancement Request has been submitted for tag values on databases within an instance.
