LUA scripting question

[rod.cook]

We are attempting to create a LUA script to enter data into custom_4 in the NAS pre-processing section.  The end result is that we want custom_4 = custom_3 hostname subsystem.  Those three items.  Custom_3 is created in a alarm_enrichment rule.  We attempted to fill custom_4 with an alarm_enrichment, but since the alarm hasn't been put into a database the subsystem value was coming out incorrectly some of the time.  We got random data for subsystem.

 

So that left us to create a LUA script.  Can anyone help us with the syntax we would need?  

thanks

Hi Rod,

 

First if you need some lua examples code (for other needs etc..) : 

GitHub - UIM-Community/Lua-codebase: CA - UIM - Nas LUA Code base 

 

Nas scripting (official API) : 

The nas Extensions to Lua (All Versions) - CA Unified Infrastructure Management Probes - CA Technologies Documentation 

 

Just create a pre-processing script with this code in : 

 

event.custom_4 = event.custom_3;return event;

 

Save your script and go to the "Pre-processing rules tabs". More informations here : 

 

The nas Auto-Operator Tab - CA Unified Infrastructure Management Probes - CA Technologies Documentation 

 

Best Regards,

Thomas

thanks for the reply.  I'll pass this info on the person who is doing the scripting.
