LUA - Probe restart Script

[Sam Green]

Hi all,

 

I'm pretty sure this has been answered many different times and in many different forms.

 

I'm after a LUA scipt that will automatically restart the E2E_appmon probe on an External Hub of ours.

 

I have found this script to restart the qos_processor on our Primary Hub, which works fine:

 

addr = "/MDS/mdsmonl1/mdsmonl1/hub" -- insert the Nimsoft address for the robot where the hub runs
probe = "qos_processor" -- specify the probe to be restarted
local args = pds.create() -- create data structure to pass arguments to probe callbacks
pds.putString(args,"name",probe)
nimbus.request("qos_processor","_restart",args)
pds.delete(args)

 

I thought I would be able to change the PROBE name and the ADDR, it appears to run if I run this:

 

addr = "/MDS/stecrmnimp001/stecrmnimp001/hub" -- insert the Nimsoft address for the robot where the hub runs
probe = "e2e_appmon" -- specify the probe to be restarted
local args = pds.create() -- create data structure to pass arguments to probe callbacks
pds.putString(args,"name",probe)
nimbus.request("e2e_appmon","_restart",args)
pds.delete(args)

 

I am a little confused as to what the second script is doing as my E2E_appmon probe doesn't sit on the stecrmnimp001 Server, it is located on another Server that reports to that Hub..

 

There are other E2E_appmon probes located under this Hub...could it be restarting them all?

 

If anyone has any ideas or scripts in your stockpile I'd love to have a copy?

 

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Got it:

al = alarm.get("CS19805817-46323")
robot_addr = "/"..al.domain.."/"..al.hub.."/"..al.robot
rc = nimbus.request(robot_addr.."/e2e_appmon", "_stop")
if not rc then
nimbus.alarm(5, "Failed to restart E2E_appmon")
end

Tied this with a Schedule I can restart the probe as little, or as often as I want

This will now fix my E2E errors
