For one strategy, try to run on different datasets, that's why I need to tell which alert is from which dataset. Could not get a method or property to get the name of the dataset. Could you please help?
Thanks.

Give GetDataSetName a try (Community Components).

Thanks for your help, but it woks in Strategy Window rather than Strategy Monitor. Is there any way to show the dataset name in Strategy Monitor?
Thanks

Let the forum know if you find one. :)

For example, you might try reading the StrategyMonitorConfiguration.xml file. The DataSourceName tag contains the information you're looking for. And I've already shown you how to obtain a Strategy name (to match to DataSourceName):

Thanks for your creative idea, however it is not what I want to get. Manually changing the alert file might be the only way.
Thanks again.

The StrategyMonitorConfiguration.xml file also contains all Alerts fired by the Strategy in the AlertsList tag.
