can i change the "failed" "recovered" subject line

Thu, 2010-10-21 07:51 — dmc129

for my alerts the terms "failed" and "recovered" are misleading.
Is it possible for me to change them to something else?
e.g. i want to change "server 2 has just failed" to "server 2 has just swapped to failover"
i.e. can i change the email/sms subject text for the "fail" state and "recover" state?

Re: can i change the "failed" "recovered" subject line

There isn't any easy way to change the terms used in Simon, but you can certainly customize the email. You can edit the email notifier to use whatever text you wish. Simply replace the status variable with the text you prefer, and use separate notifiers for changes, failures and recoveries.
