The following percent variables are available for use with Application Performance Monitoring (APM) actions:
Name |
Description |
%System.Time |

%System.Date |
Returns the system date. |
%System.InstallDir |
Returns the install directory of the WhatsUp Gold instance. |
%Application.ApplicationInstance.ApplicationID |
Returns the ID of the application instance. |
%Application.ApplicationInstance.ApplicationName |
Returns the application name associated with the application instance. |
%Application.ApplicationInstance.Description |
Returns the description given to the application instance. |
%Application.ApplicationInstance.CurrentState |
Returns the current state of the application instance. |
%Application.ApplicationInstance.PreviousState |
Returns the previous state of the application instance. |
%Application.ApplicationInstance.MasterDeviceID |
Returns the ID of the master device associated with the application instance. |
%Application.ApplicationInstance.MasterDeviceDisplayName |
Returns the display name of the master device associated with the application instance. |
%Application.TriggeringComponent.Name |
Returns the name of the component that triggered the associated action. |
%Application.TriggeringComponent.PollTime |
Returns the time of the last poll of the component that triggered the action. |
%Application.TriggeringComponent.Type |
Returns the type of the component that triggered the action. |
%Application.TriggeringComponent.CurrentState |
Returns the current state of the component that triggered the action. |
%Application.TriggeringComponent.PreviousState |
Returns the previous state of the component that triggered the action. |
%Application.TriggeringComponent.DeviceID |
Returns the ID of the device associated with the component that triggered the action. |
%Application.TriggeringComponent.DeviceDisplayName |
Returns the display name of the device associated with the component that triggered the action. |
%Device.DatabaseID |
Returns the database of the device associated with the component that triggered the action. |
%Device.DisplayName |
Returns the display name of the device associated with the component that triggered the action. |
%Device.HostName |

Note: If the source is an application instance or a group instance then the value of the Device.DatabaseID percent variable is the ID of the master device assigned to the application/group instance. If the source is a component instance, then the value of the Device.DatabaseID percent variable is the ID of the device assigned (overridden) to the component instance. If no device is assigned to the component instance, then the value of the Device.DatabaseID percent variable is the ID of the master device assigned to the application instance. Value of all other device specific percent variables will reflect the properties of the device referenced by Device.DatabaseID.
Important: If the %Application.TriggeringComponent.DeviceDisplayName variable is used in an action it will return a "0" if it evaluates against the master device. If it evaluates against an overriden device component, it returns the proper device display name.
