Create a text file in unix server using ITRS Geneos Console

Question

I am trying to create a file in Unix server(netprobes run in this server) using ITRS Geneos active console. When I assign some alert to me or snooze any alert, a file must be created in unix server with the username who performed the action on active console.

Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

There is Option to see who all have snoozed the cells, etc.. in the Administrator entity, also if an email is set for your id in user -> info section. You shall also get any email when something is assigned to your id.

Other Option is to use OpenAccess API.

Answer 2

There are two other methods other than the API.

1.The Gateway logs

Both Actions follow the same format. This shows you the command (Action), who did it, and where it was applied to.

Snooze

<Mon Jan 29 08:16:09>  INFO: CommandManager Executing command [/SNOOZE:manualAllMe] with id [46] for request id [1]
<Mon Jan 29 08:16:09>  INFO: CommandManager Executing command '/SNOOZE:manualAllMe' on DataItem '/geneos/gateway[(@name="MyGateway")]/directory/probe[(@name="Gateway")]/managedEntity[(@name="Dataviews")]/sampler[(@name="Dataviews")][(@type="")]/dataview[(@name="Summary")]/rows/row[(@name="Row")]/cell[(@column="Col")]', issued by user 'ActiveConsole1' on '11.11.11.11'

User Assignment

<Mon Jan 29 08:17:07>  INFO: CommandManager Executing command [/USERASSIGNMENT:assignToMe] with id [47] for request id [1]
<Mon Jan 29 08:17:07>  INFO: CommandManager Executing command '/USERASSIGNMENT:assignToMe' on DataItem '/geneos/gateway[(@name="My Gateway")]/directory/probe[(@name="Gateway")]/managedEntity[(@name="Dataviews")]/sampler[(@name="Dataviews")][(@type="")]/dataview[(@name="Summary")]/rows/row[(@name="row")]/cell[(@column="col")]', issued by user 'ActiveConsole1' on '11.11.11.11'

You can parse this according to your needs for the file on the server.

2.Parsing Dataviews

Gateway-snoozeData and Gateway-userAssignmentData plug-in provide a comprehensive view (which can be in turn parsed).

Either extract the data via webslinger and wget or via the ORB pages (by going to http://your_gateway_host:your_port/ORB)
