  • 1.  Lua scripting

    Posted Nov 16, 2016 06:56 AM

    Hi,

    I was looking for some documents which brief about how to start (& proceed) with collaboration of Nimsoft with Lua scripting - including calling of Lua scripts, reading and writing alarms info from & to txt, xml files and more such work.

    Are there any good referring documents available?

    Our clients are looking for some customizations which might require script support to Nimsoft.

     

    Thanks,

    Deepika

    There is not much in the way of official documentation on writing and using lua scripts

     

    you can see the documentation here:

    The nas Extensions to Lua (All Versions) - CA Unified Infrastructure Management Probes - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    The web is full of documentation on using LUA scripting.

    Do be careful when doing custom scripting.

    The NAS is single threaded. If your script causes a problem or hangs it will stop all alarms until it is done.
