Hi,

I am trying to change the text of the alarm “c8y\_UnavailabilityAlarm” via Administration - Business rules - Alarm mapping.

It works fine, however I would like to add some parameters too such device name or device group. The variant similar to smart rules annotation does not work:

_No data received from device #{name} of #{type} in #{group} within required interval._

Is there another way to achieve the same, if it does not work via Alarm mappings?

Thank you!  
Best regards,  
Attila

Alarm mapping by itself only provides basic and static mapping capabilities.

For more advanced use cases that enrich the alarm with data of the source object or even parents of that source you will need a custom implementation using streaming analytics or a microservice.
