Variable Substitution

A number of the alert parameters allow you to insert a variable which will be substituted for a value when the alert happens. Here is a list.

$host	Host name (or IP address, if no name exists).
$hostip	The host IP address
$hostdnsname	The resolved DNS name for the host
$year	Current Year
$month	Current Month
$day	Current day of month
$hour	Current hour
$minute	Current minute
$second	Current second
$date	Same as $year-$month-$day.
$time	The same as $hour$minute - note the absence of any punctuation - that's to make sure the file name is valid, if this mask is being used in a file name.
