Using ipMonitor Tokens, Administrators can fully customize Alerts sent on behalf of a Monitor.
Individual Failure, Recovery and Information content strings can be created, allowing a different message to be sent for each event.
The popup Token selector lets you quickly build dynamic Alert strings. To launch the popup selector, simply click the Token List button located within each Notification Content section.
