I want to pass a Field generated by an Alert, e.g. $Description$ for the
Alert's decriptive Test into a script Parameter, so that the script (it
actually sends a SMS) can tell me what Alert occurred. I tried to simply put
$Description$ into the Script parameters, but this didnt work. So how can I
do it?

Hello,

Thank you for your posting!

You can try to configure the criteria in the event rule. And then add a
script response to that send out SMS

If you have any questions, please feel to let me know. I am glad to be of
assistance.

Thank you for your reply, but unfortunately I dont think that would resolve
my problem. The script ist already working very well. The only problem I
currently have is that I want to get the $Decription$ filed generated be the
EVentAlert inside my script as a Variable. How do i do that?

Are you trying to run the script as a response to an existing alert, ie via
an alert rule?

Exactly. I have several scripts running that read out sensor data
(Temperature, Smoke/Fire...). The scripts then post an Information-type Event
when the Sensor values are ok, and a Warning- or Error-Type Event when the
specified values are out of range (lets say when the temperatures get too
high). The $Description$ Field of these Events then contains a Message like
"Alert! Sensor #1234 reports a temperature of 35°C.".

I then specified two rules that generate different Types of Alerts when
Error- or Warning-Type Events occur (lets say a Warning when the temperatures
rise, but an Error when there's smoke detected). These Alerts take the
$Description$ Field of the Events they were generated from with them, so that
the Alerts also have a text like "Alert! Sensor........".

Finally, I specified two Alert rules:

Rule #1 has no Duplicate Alert Suppression and is intended to send a
Notification (E-Mail) every Tick the Sensor data is read out when there is a
Warning-Type Event (lets say that would be One E-mail every 10 Minutes as
long as the temperatures are too high). The $Description$ Field from the
Initial Event is automatically taken into the E-mail by MOM.

Rule #2 has Duplicate Alert Suppression activated and is intended to run a
script once when an Error-Type Event occurs. The script then sends SMS to
every specified Cell Phone Number. The Only Problem I have is that I cannot
get the $Description$ Field into these SMS via the Script Parameters, so that
the SMS Text is only a static Text like "An error has been generated". But I
would prefer to know what exactly happened.

So how do I get that field into my Script?

So this is how i did it:

If (ScriptContext.IsAlert()) Then
Set objAlert = ScriptContext.Alert

This detemines the Alert the Script was started from. You can then access
every fields you want, like:

objAlert.Description
