LMS 3.1 Syslog Automated Action - How to pass variables to script?

I would like to pass variables to a windows bat file for processing. The help seems to suggest that there are 2 available, device and message. I would like to know how to reference them and what syntax to use to pass them to the batch file. Are Facility, Sub-facility, Severity, Mnemonic and Description also availble? If so, how would they be referenced? Thanks in advance.

The syntax for referencing these variables is discussed in the online help. Essentially, you'll want to use %~1 and %~2 in your batch script to get the device and message respectively. The message will be the full message, so you will need to do additional processing on that to extract the facility, severity, and mnemonic.

Syslog Automated Action

Hi,
LMS 4.2.3
The syslog automated action work if we send to one e-mail address the messages.
Once we set two email-adresses ( comma separeted ) in "send to field", the messages are not received.
Thanks

One of the logfiles that gives understandable messages mostly. :-)

Ciscoworks RME Syslog Automation Actions

I set up RME several years ago on our Ciscoworks several running LMS 3.2 to notify us on any BGP flaps via email notification.
I noticed the last couple maintenance period where we had perform Circuit work with our ISP's. We haven't received any emails....I verified those
routers are configured to send notifications in the Device Selector and even checked the router logs.
004161: Nov 20 05:04:52 EST: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor X.X.X.X Down BGP Notification sent
004162: Nov 20 05:04:52 EST: %BGP-3-NOTIFICATION: sent to neighbor X.X.X.X 4/0 (hold time expired) 0 bytes
The syslog collector status appears to be normal.....is there anything I need to do the fix this?

Hi,
Are you receiving any emails from your LMS server? If not, navigate to Common Services > Server > Admin > System Preferences to enter your SMTP settings.
Identifying the syslog message is one step but there are more.
AUTOMATED ACTIONS
Set Up
By default, Automated Actions are used to notify via email, using the `sampleEmailScript.pl` as the script to run. If you do not want to use this, you could write or use your own scripts to perform the action that you really want. In this case please note that we do not provide support for any custom scripts if the problem seems to be related to the script that you are using.
You still need the following settings:
1. Select Devices
In *RME > Tools > Syslog > Automated Actions* and click on create and select the devices that you wish to use.
2. Define Message Type
Please give a name to the Automated Action and then click on add to define a message type. In here, please specify the following values:
    Facility: BGP
    Sub-facility: *
    Severity: 5
    Mnemonic: ADJCHANGE
    Description: *
3. Select Automated Action
Select the default script or the script that you wish to use. Please note that this script must be located in the *CSCOpx/files/scripts/syslog* file and needs to have only write/execute permissions for casuser/Administrator in Windows.
This way when a message matching the above is generated, the Automated Action is triggered and this will run the script that you choose and do the commands that it has specified.
Here is an example:
If you verify that your setup is correctly configured then take a look at the smtp.log found under ../CSCOpx/log.
Thanks.

OBIEE 11g How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.

How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.
I have two prompt in dashboard page as below.
Reporttype
prompt: values(Accounting, Operational) Note: values stored as
presentation variable and they are not coming from table.
Date prompt values (Account_date, Operation_date)
Note:values are coming from dim_date table.
Now the task is When user select First
Prompt value “Accounting” Then in the
second prompt should display only Accounting_dates , if user select “operational”
and it should display only operation_dates in second prompt.
In order to solve this issue I made the
first prompt “Reporttype” values(Accounting, Operational) as presentation
values (custom specific values) and default presentation value is accounting.
In second prompt Date are coming from
dim_date table and I selected Sql results as shown below.
SELECT case when '@{Reporttype}'='Accounting'
then "Dates (Receipts)"."Acct Year"
else "Dates (Receipts)"."Ops
Year" End FROM "Receipts"
Issue: Presentation variable value is not
changing in sql when user select “operation” and second prompt always shows
acct year in second prompt.
For testing pupose I kept this presentation
variable in text object of dashboard and values are changing there, but not in
second prompt sql.
Please suggest the solution.

You will want to use the MoveClipLoader class (using its loadClip() and addListener() methods) rather than loadMovie so that you can wait for the file to load before you try to access anything in it. You can create an empty movieclip to load the swf into, and in that way the loaded file can be targeted using the empty movieclip instance name.

LMS 4.2.5 Syslog/Automated Action/Config mgmt issue

LMS 4.2.5 on Windows
We use the server as it's own Syslog server. The Syslog collector status is fine. I see syslogs coming into the server. However, I just made some changes on a router so ran a syslog report on it, but nothing was returned. I Tested the Collector Subscription and everything was fine.
We also have Automated Actions configured on certain syslog messages (duplex mismatch for example). There is an AA configured to send my team e-mails when this event occurs. There was a device that had two days worth of syslog messages complaining about this issue. Yet, we only received about 10 e-mails from the LMS system on it.
Another issue is with Configuration Mgmt. I fixed the duplex mismatch listed above and went to check the config tree to see if or when something changed. The last config archive was pretty old and I know changes were made on the device since then. This tells me that the LMS server didn't get notified of the config change or it would have gone out and checked it.
The one thing in common on all of the above is Syslog messages. LMS will take actions based on receiving these messages and those actions don't seem to be firing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike S.

To confirm if the device is sending the syslogs and they are being received by LMS server properly, check the $NMSROOT/log/syslog.log and see it has the syslog from the device.
Unless syslog is there on syslog.log, we don't expect LMS to react on any AA.
For configuration backup, try to sync the device config by initiating a manual job to update the latest configuration from device. Even if there is no Automated Action working, you should still have a reoccurring/scheduled job configured to archive configuration backup periodically.
Following is a document I created for Syslog troubleshooting :

LMS 2.6 / RME : automated action for syslog

HI,
Is it possible to find a configure file or properties file for automate action which can be editable.
I lost automated action configuration and I would like to configure as before.
Many thanks, Elisabeth

I'd think AA lost in the GUI would be erased from the flat file (such as filters.dat for syslog filters) as well, in which case the only way to restore it would be from an older LMS backup.

Syslog automated action is not working

Hi,
I set the automated actions for EIGRP NBRCHANGE message ( DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE )
I would like to get email notifications from CW but it is not working. I've checked that syslog messages arrived to CW.
Other e-mail funtions ar working like DFM and RME job email notifications.
how can i troubleshoot what happened?
Regards,

What version of RME are you using? Make sure the message shows up in the RME syslog Standard Report. If the message isn't making it to the database, then it will definitely not trigger an automated action. Check your SMTP settings under Common Services > Server > Admin > System Preferences, and use a sniffer to capture tcp/25 traffic when one of these messages arrives to see if the SMTP server is accepting the email message.

LMS4 Syslog automated action anomaly

LMS 4.2.1 on W2K8 R2
I just want to send an email for any sev 1 or 2 syslog messages received. I set up an automated action that looks like this:
Automated Action Summary
Name:
Critical Events Email
Devices:
State:
Enabled
Parameters:
TO=[email protected], SUB=LMS4 Syslog AA, TEXT=
Action Type:
Email
Messages:

Yet I seem to be getting emails triggered by messages from ASA devices that are not severity 1 or 2, like:
%ASA-session-4-106023
%ASA-auth-3-109023
%ASA-auth-6-109001
Am I doing something wrong, or is there some sort of bug I am hitting? I can't believe that I am the first person to try this.
Thanks,
-Jeff

I do not know what exactly you have done so far but in your situation I would enable the following debugs:
open that file in a text editor
NMSROOT\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\classes\com\cisco\nm\rmeng\csc\data\Collector.properties
and change the debug level from Info to Debug:
    DEBUG_LEVEL=DEBUG
also enable SyslogAnalyzer debugging here:
Admin > System > Debug Settings > Config and Image Management Debugging Settings
    Set Application Logging Levels >> SyslogAnalyzer (scroll down)
        set Syslog Analyzer and Syslog Analyzer User Interface from INFO to DEBUG
in a DOS box check the status of the following processes (the should be started) and restart them:
    pdshow SyslogAnalyzer SyslogCollector
    pdterm SyslogAnalyzer SyslogCollector
    pdexec SyslogAnalyzer SyslogCollector
    pdshow SyslogAnalyzer SyslogCollector
When the issue happens again check the following log files and post them on the forum:
    NMSROOT\log\SyslogCollector.log
    NMSROOT\log\AnalyzerDebug.log

How to pass variables between loaders

Hi,
I am trying to load an image, with descriptive text and a back button on the click of a thumbnail of the image. I am using a MovieClipLoader instance to do this.
Here are my problems:
1. I tried loading the image, with the text(which is within an external swf), using the same loader, but since I am placing them dynamically, depending on the dimensions of the image, I need to pass variables between the two. The image loader is taking longer than the text (obviously) but I need the dimensions of the image before I can place the text. How do I do that??
2. I tried using two loaders, with separate listeners, and the problem once again is that the text loads before the image, and is hence placed with default values instead of the values derived from the image. The code is within onLoadInit(). Is it possible for me to get the dimensions of the image from onLoadStart()???
3. There is a back button within the text.swf. I want the image and the text.swf to be unloaded when this button is clicked. How can I achieve that? Can I call loader.unloadClip(target), from within this? Will it recognize the variable?
4. Is there a much easier way to do this, which I am sadly unaware of?
Any help will be appreciated.

Tried the onloadstart() function, but it gives target._width and _height as 0. So that is ruled out...any other suggestions?

How to pass variable to SQLPLUS in a ksh script?

Hi,
I am writing a ksh script which will use sqlplus to run a sql and pass 2 variables as the SQL request. In the ksh script, I have 2 variables which are $min_snap and $max_snap holding 2 different numbers.
Inside the same script, I am using SQLPLUS to run an Oracle SQL script, which request to enter 2 set of numbers, one at a time. Normally running situation, I can enter the number from the keyboard, but since I am writing a script, I want to pass those numbers by passing variables in the script? How can I do it?
Please help!
here is my ksh script,
#!/bin/ksh
if [ "$1" = "" ]
then
echo "Usage : delete_snapshot.sh <db_name>"
exit

Thank you for response, Paul.
Have you ever used statspack? or sppurge.sql?
When you run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/sppurge.sql, it waits for user to enter losnapid and hisnapid manually from the keyboard.
My trouble is to have a script to delete old snapshot which are 3 weeks old. So I create min_snapid.sql and max_snapid.sql to hold two variables.
Based on your solution, I tried it but it doesn't work.
It returns the error messages as following....
Warning
~~~~~~~
sppurge.sql deletes all snapshots ranging between the lower and
upper bound Snapshot Id's specified, for the database instance
you are connected to.
You may wish to export this data before continuing.

the purge, it is still possible to do so. Exitting from SQL*Plus will
automatically commit the purge.

How to pass variable in a function

I would like to ask how to pass the value "char" into the
"onSoundComplete" function? many thanks! many thanks!
_root.playVO = function(pageNum, char){
var myVO:Sound = new Sound();
myVO.loadSound("vo/vo" + pageNum + ".mp3", true);
_root.myVO.onSoundComplete = function(char){
_root.attachMovie("indicator", "indicator",
_global.curLevel++);
_root[char].mouth.gotoAndStop("mute");
_root.indicator.clickIndicator_btn.onRelease = function(){
_root.play();
_root.currentPage++;
_root.display(_root.currentPage);
this._parent.removeMovieClip();
}

I don't think you can pass variables into the onSoundComplete
handler function. But you don't really need to as you've written
the code. You're passing it into the playVO function so it should
be availble to the onComplete handler (which you've written inside
playVO) without having to restate it. As long as you pass it in
when calling playVO (e.g. playVO(myVar);)
Hope that helps!

How to pass variable value to field of standard sap transaction.

Hi Experts,
i want to pass the value of variable to field of standard sap transaction. but that field is not having the parameter ID. so please tell me how i pass the value to field.
thanks in advance.

You might like to provide a few more details of which field and transaction you are trying to interact with... typical solutions involve user exits / BAdIs / Enhancements, or transaction variants, or building a BDC to part fill the screens of the Tcode you are calling.
