You can use the msgText rule to specify the message format for the subject line of the notification message. You can specify different formats for different types of alerts and for specific PATROL objects (applications, instances, or parameters).
Note
You can also use wildcards to create one rule that matches several alerts. You can use the following set of characters to identify a wildcard: {re:*}. For more information, see the following examples:
| | |
|---|
| CPU_03
CPU_13
HoustonCPU_03 | |
Wildcard usage in msgText: Examples
For information about prerequisites for using wildcards, see Using-Wildcards-to-Represent-PATROL-Instance-Names.
The regular expression rules can be applied only when the value of the WildcardsAppClass configuration variable is modified.

Notes
- If you do not specify INFORMATION, WARNING or ALARM, the same message format is used for all events.
- A special instance name of _ANYINST_ can be used for all instances of a parameter. If object is not specified, then the configuration variable defines the default message format.
