Title: Re: [jffnms-users] New Action Question

OK, back from vacation and trying to get this up and running again. I'm trying to get JFF to execute a script if something happens. I've modified the "email.inc.php" to "makeaticket.inc.php" (see below for the script) to just try to create a file so I can see what parameters are passed in what variables.

The steps I followed, from a default JFFNMS install (which will fire off the email action when something happens, right?), were to:

- Go to the "Actions Definition" menu.

- For the "Send Mail" action, I changed the command to be "makeaticket" from "email".

JFF will show that a system goes down in the event log, but it doesn't create my file, so I'm guessing the action isn't happening (or my script is screwed up somehow). Any thoughts here?

The script I'm using is:

<?
function action_makeaticket ($data) {
extract($data);
//debug ($data);

$from = $parameters[from];
$to = $parameters[to];
$subject = $parameters[subject];
$short = (isset($parameters["short"])?true:false);

if (!$short) $content[hello] = "Hello ".$user[fullname].":\n";

if (!$short) $signature = "---------------------------------------------------------------------\nJFFNMS - Just for Fun Network Management System\n";

if (is_array($alarm)) {
     $content[alarm]= "Alarm Time:\t".$alarm[date_start];

     if ($alarm[alarm_state]==ALARM_UP)
  $content[alarm] .= " To ".$alarm[date_stop];

     $content[alarm] .= "\n".
    "Alarm Type:\t".$alarm[type_description]." ".
    $alarm[state_description]." ".
    ($short?"":"\n");
}

if (is_array($interface))
     $content["interface"]= "Interface:\t".
     $interface[type_descripton]." ".
     $interface[host_name]." ".
     $interface[zone_shortname]." ".
     $interface["interface"]." ".
     $interface[client_name]." ".
     $interface[description]." ".
     "\n";

if (is_array($event) && !$short) //FIXME
     foreach ($event as $key=>$event)
  $content["event-$key"]= "Event:\t".
     $event[date]." ".
     $event[type]." ".
     $event[host_name]." ".
     $event[zone]."\n".
     "Event:\t".events_replace_vars($event,$event[text])." ".
     "\n";

$all_content = join($content,"\n");

if ($parameters[comment] && !$short)
     $all_content .= "\nComment: ".$parameters[comment]."\n";

$body = "$all_content \n$signature";

if ($short) $body = str_replace("\t"," ",$body);

        $file = "./testoutput.txt";
        $testdata = "event-date = $event[date]\n".
        "event-type = $event[type]\n".
        "event-host_name = $event[host_name]\n".
        "event-text = $event[text]\n".
        "alarm-date_start = $alarm[date_start]\n".
        "alarm-type_description = $alarm[type_description]\n".
        "alarm-state_description = $alarm[$state_description]\n".
        "interface-type_description = $interface[type_descripton]\n".
        "interface-host_name = $interface[host_name]\n".
        "interface-interface = $interface[interface]\n".
        "interface-description = $interface[description]\n";

        $fp = fopen ("$file", "wb");
        fwrite ($fp, $testdata);
        fclose ($fp);

return $result;
    }

Thanks,

Hmm, that section needs some work! Time to fire up vim. Javier evilly uses extract() in that example. The action function gets one parameter, which is an array of arrays. The arrays are: $data['parameters'] = an array of the user and action parameters, defined in the gui $data['alarm'] = the usual alarm values $data['interface'] = the usual interface vaues See http://www.jffnms.org/docs/expanding.html#sec:commonparms for that those values are. > > Thanks, > Tim Carr > Buchanan Associates > -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ jffnms-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jffnms-users
