output sample for hp custom tools

Tony Ironside — Wed, 01 Dec 2004 15:24:31 GMT

I am trying to write a script to filter events and then pass them on a log file to be monitored by another process.

I need a sample of the output of an event. I tried creating a custom command that runs set >> c:\bla.txt when I generate a test trap it says it ran, but I see no output.

is there any other way to output a sample of this? (the docs are rather sparse)

Thanks

Tony

Tony:

Please find attached the output of environment variables from 3 events that fired on a test system. Each event's first line starts with "ALLUSERSPROFILE." The text of the event is contained in the NOTICEPLAINTEXT variable and is delimited with the pipe "|" symbol.

For your own custom command, more than likely you put your command set>>c:\bla.txt all in the field labeled "Command (Executable path and file name):" The trick to making it work is to have set in that field and to put >>c:\bla.txt in the "Parameters" field.

Hi,

Thanks for the info, another related question, when I execute the task based on an automated alert (automated event handling) will the task run on the sim box, or will it be executed on the node that generated the alert?

Thanks.

Tony

All of the custom commands managed from the UI are executed at the central management server (CMS).
