OS Command Example

The following environment variables will be set when an OS Command is called. They will contain similar values to those in the examples for E-mail and SNMP Trap.

TARGET_NAME

TARGET_TYPE

HOST

METRIC

KEY_VALUE

KEY_VALUE_NAME

TIMESTAMP

SEVERITY

MESSAGE

RULE_NAME

RULE_OWNER

From within a script on UNIX, the variables can be accessed as $TARGET_NAME, $TARGET_TYPE, and others.

From within a script on a Windows platform, the variables can be accessed as %TARGET_NAME%, %TARGET_TYPE%, and others.

Sample Script :

#!/bin/ksh

# This logs a severity occurence to a file server. If the file server # is unreachable then an exit code of 100 is returned to force the # OMS Notification System to retry the notification

LOG_FILE=/net/myhost/logs/severity.log if test -f $LOG_FILE then echo $TARGET_NAME $MESSAGE $TIMESTAMP >> $LOG_FILE else exit 100 fi
