Have setup a Monitor for Process running on servers.

In the Alerts Tab, i wanted to show the Values for the Server Name and IP:

$Target/Host/Property[Type="MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/PrincipalName$

$Target/Host/Property[Type="MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/IPAddress$

But the parameters are coming as {0} and {1}:

Is this another bug in SCOM?

    Hi Cyril,

    After the threshold was breached again, the alert was re generated and the Properties were displayed as expected.

    Thanks.

    Is your screenshot from an alert that existed before you modified the description? In that case, it's normal, the modification will only work with new alerts.

    Yes it was already existing. Good point.
    But I did reset the Alert.
    It turned Green and then on next poll it came back again but with no values.
    Since its a Monitor I didn't think its a good idea to Close the alert.

    So what do i need to do to test that this works properly?
