Corrective actions triggered from Foglight to address space alarms

HI,

To add I tried testing a RemoteCommandAction (rule action) on one of the Foglight rules.

Instructions as per - https://www.quest.com/community/blogs/b/performance-monitoring/posts/foglight-play-some-funky-music

When I try to save the rule action it doesn't allow me to save and pops up with an error message as follows:

Error evaluating validation binding: com.quest.wcf.publicapi.code.FunctionInvocationException: Error executing script id=system:administration_rulesnotifications_rulemanagement_create20rule.validateAllRabs name="'Validate All Tabs' from the System module Administration/Rules & Notifications/Rules/Create Rule" message: com.quest.nitro.service.sl.interfaces.scripting.ScriptingException: com.quest.nitro.service.sl.interfaces.scripting.ScriptAbortException: com.quest.wcf.publicapi.code.FunctionInvocationException: Error executing script id=system:administration_rulesnotifications_rulemanagement_create20rule.validateTheConditionTab name="'Validate The Condition Tab' from the System module Administration/Rules & Notifications/Rules/Create Rule" message: com.quest.nitro.service.sl.interfaces.scripting.ScriptingException: com.quest.nitro.service.sl.interfaces.scripting.ScriptAbortException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Type not found: core_commons:Result ----script start------ package system._administration_rulesnotifications_rulemanagement_create20rule.scripts; import com.quest.wcf.data.messages.ErrorMessage; def megs = []; if (!ruleObj) { return megs.add(new ErrorMessage("System Error: The Data Object of rule if not existing.")); } def ruleType = ruleObj.get("ruleType", specificTimeRange); def cartridgeName = ruleObj.get("cartridgeName", specificTimeRange); if (ruleType == "Simple Rule") { def fireSeverityLevelObj = ruleObj.get("fireSeverityLevelObj", specificTimeRange); def condition = fireSeverityLevelObj.get("condition", specificTimeRange); if (!condition || condition.length() <= 0) { megs.add(new ErrorMessage("Condition cannot be empty")); } else { def resultObj = functionHelper.createDataObject("core_commons:Result", "none", null); def result = functionHelper.invokeFunction("system:administration_rulesnotifications_rulemanagement_create20rule.validateCondation", condition, resultObj, cartridgeName); def type = result.get("resultType", specificTimeRange); ---- script end ------ ----script start------ package system._administration_rulesnotifications_rulemanagement_create20rule.scripts; def allMegs = []; def megsForDefinition = functionHelper.invokeFunction("system:administration_rulesnotifications_rulemanagement_create20rule.validateTheRuleDefinitionTab", ruleObj); if (megsForDefinition && megsForDefinition.size() > 0) { allMegs.addAll(megsForDefinition); } megsForCondition = functionHelper.invokeFunction("system:administration_rulesnotifications_rulemanagement_create20rule.validateTheConditionTab", ruleObj); if (megsForCondition && megsForCondition.size() > 0) { allMegs.addAll(megsForCondition); } megsForBehavior = functionHelper.invokeFunction("system:administration_rulesnotifications_rulemanagement_create20rule.validateTheBehaviorTab", ruleObj); if (megsForBehavior && megsForBehavior.size() > 0) { allMegs.addAll(megsForBehavior); } return allMegs; ---- script end ------ in view: 'system:administration_rulesnotifications_rulemanagement_create20rule.ruleEditor'

Any help I can get on the error would be helpful.

Thanks

not sure what you try to do with that code but

functionHelper.createDataObject("core_commons:Result", "none", null)

creates an object in Foglight, that seems to fail, maybe that dataobject is not defined in Foglight, never did that

maybe try something simpler

use groovy to write a file to disk or something, you an also use groovy to execute some external binary or script.

	import java.io.File
	org.apache.commons.logging.Log log = org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog("TESTINGFOGLIGHT");
	File dir = new File("my_directory");
	dir.mkdirs();
	File file = new File(dir.toString()+File.separator+ "my_file")
	log.info("TEST CODE CALLED")
	file.write "TEST FILE WRITTEN"

code is untested (based off something else i've got running here) but this should appear in the foglight directory

update: forgot an import

Thanks a lot for taking time to reply. I restarted FGLAM and hardcoded the agent FQDN in the Host Name parameter of the RemoteCommanAction (Foglight rule action), the error got resolved. I have attached a few screen shots to lend us an idea of what I am trying to achieve.

Is there a way I can pass parameters to the Command Line specified in the RemoteCommandAction e.g. monitored host name, monitored agent name and scope.parent_node.name?

My objective is to use the RemoteCommandAction specified command line which is executed on the FGLAM node (when the rule triggers) to fire up a powershell remoting command on the SQL node thus I need to pass the parameters (as stated above) to the commandline.
