DX Unified Infrastructure Management

Hi,

My customer requests us to send the UIM alarm to sms gateway through the provided SMS URL.

Here is the SMS URL:

http://***.***.***.***/cauim_dev/Sendsms?param="..cmd1.."^&toNumber=0812800XXXX^&apiKey=X******

I have created a script in NAS alarm like this:

function space(s)
return s:gsub("","+")
end

function equals(s)
return s:gsub("=",":")
end

a = alarm.get()

cmd1 = equals(a.hostname.."("..a.source.."), Severity:"..a.severity..", Message:"..a.message)
cmd2 = "start "..space("http://***.***.***.***/cauim_dev/Sendsms?param="..cmd1.."^&toNumber=0812800XXXXX^&apiKey=ShinhANnegaBaro")

action.command(cmd2)

After I executed that script, there was an activity was logged in Activity Log like this:

http://***.***.***.***/cauim_dev/Sendsms?param=Severity:+Testmajor,+Message:QOS_INTERFACE_UTILIZATION+=+1176110.94+from+source+JAKARTA+targeting+eix0(eix0)+has+crossed+the+major+static+threshold+of+>95.0^&tonumber=0812800XXXX^&apiKey=X******

Waiting for more than 5 minutes, but I was not receiving a SMS from the executed script.

Then, I tried to run the activity value  in browser and here is the return value:

Once I executed it from browser, I received the SMS as expected.

Can somebody advise me, why the alarm was not sending SMS once I executed it from NAS alarm? What I missed in my script?

Regards

Rio

My suspicion is that this is failing becaue you are calling a url and not a windows command.

I would suggest creating a batch file that you can pass parameters to that will send this.

in the batch file you will need to call curl or ie or some other application that can handle the http request properly.

as the lua is not running in a user context I do not believe the START command will work as it does in a user session.

Hi Gene,

Do you mean that the NAS is not allowing the START command?

From the script I created, can you advise how to convert it into batch file? I use 2 functions to remove "space" and "=". Without those functions the URL will not show full message. The URL do not allow space and = characthers.

Regards,

Rio

personally, I would not try and use start.

I would use the curl.exe

How do I install and use curl on Windows? - Stack Overflow 

I do not believe the start command can be run in a service context but you would have to check with MS on that.

if you use curl or ieexplorer.exe instead of start I think it should work for you.

Ok, let me try it by today.

thanks

Rio

Hi Gene,

I just tried it using curl.exe but it is fail.

See the result below:

1. Install curl.exe.

2. Create a script:

function space(s)
return s:gsub("","+")
end

function equals(s)
return s:gsub("=",":")
end

a = alarm.get()

cmd1 = equals(a.hostname.."("..a.source.."), Severity:"..a.severity..", Message:"..a.message)
cmd2 = "curl.exe "..space("http://***.***.***.***/cauim_dev/Sendsms?param="..cmd1.."^&toNumber=0812800XXXXX^&apiKey=*********")

action.command(cmd2)

3. Result in Activity Log

Result was error

4. Use the Activity Result and execute it from Command Prompt

the return value is success. 

So, it is seems the NAS is still not working properly. Any advise?

Regards

Rio

please add a print statement to your script to print out the command to nas to make sure the final result is what you are expecting.

print("Full Curl Command")

print(cmd2)

action.command(cmd2)

then test and check your nas.log and see what the command looks like

Really, check the nas.log file. That return status 1 is typically a coding error - concatenation of a nil value is my guess.

You also have no error checking in your code. You should validate that alarm.get() worked by testing if a is nil or not. 

And that curl.exe is in your path. As it is, you are making the assumption it is in your current directory or system path. Neither may be true for the nas. AO profiles will have the nas directory as the current dir, not the directory where your script is (unless they are the same of course)

And finally when running commands like this, I prefer to use "cmd.exe /c" to run them. That way you'll get a fresh environment as opposed to using what the nas inherited on startup.

Hi Garin,

Below is the Nas log. I did save this log after I executed the script

From the log I did not see the trace of execution script. It just shown the Script Name (SMS URL).

Even though the script was not in the nas.log, but the result was logged in the Activity log.

See the Time between Nas.log and Activitiy Log in the same time 13:43

Can I understand what do you mean about your statement on this one:

AO profiles will have the nas directory as the current dir, not the directory where your script is (unless they are the same of course)

For your information, my NAS and AO are in the same directory

Hi,

It's work now after I added a full path of curl.exe in my script.

The script become like this:

function space(s)
return s:gsub("","+")
end

function equals(s)
return s:gsub("=",":")
end

a = alarm.get()

cmd1 = equals(a.hostname.."("..a.source.."), Severity:"..a.severity..", Message:"..a.message)
cmd2 = "C:\\curl-7.62.0-win64-mingw\\bin\\curl.exe "..space("http://***.***.***.***/cauim_dev/Sendsms?param="..cmd1.."^&toNumber=0812800XXXXX^&apiKey=xxxxxxxxxx")

action.command(cmd2)

With this script, NAS able to work properly to trigger a provided URL SMS and I can receive SMS as expected.

Here is the one of the successful received SMS:
