    Posted Jun 19, 2018 11:49 AM

    Hello all,

     

    What are the fields for `event` in auto operator script? I´m looking for `dev_id` that came from alarm, but using `event.dev_id` seems to does not exist. How can I get the `dev_id` for event to using it in lua script?

     

    Regards,

     

    Fernando

    the event.* are not available in Auto Operator profiles

    these are only available in pre-processing.

     

    the fields are listed in the nas documentation:

    Language Extensions - CA Unified Infrastructure Management Probes - CA Technologies Documentation

    If you notice in step three it says go to pre-processing tab..

    As the information is stored in the back end database this would be difficult.

    Your lua script would need to connect to the back end database run a query to check if the host is in maintenance.

    then update the message as needed.

     

    the potential problem with doing this is that if the script get hubng. IE waiting on response from your database all alarm processing will stop...

     

    Support does not recommend making database connections in lua scripts...
