How to get nimid with Luascript?

[LWIE]

Hello 

We would like to get the nimid of a new alarm which we generat with another script. So we can check if the new alarm is creating a ticket in the SDM which it will write in the UIM database and if the ticket was created then the alarm should be acknowledged if not it should send an SMS or an email and to acknowldge the alarm we need the nimid otherwise we can not close the alarm with the function action.close(nimid)

 

We already fail to get the nimid because we're not familiar with the lua scripting language. We already managed to connect to our MSSQL database and do the SQL SELECT statment.

Hi  lwie,

 

Check this article for alarm.get() supposed to be used with an AO profile

https://docops.ca.com/ca-unified-infrastructure-management-probes/ga/en/alphabetical-probe-articles/nas-alarm-server/the-nas-extensions-to-lua-all-versions/alarm

 

and the data structure listed in this page:

https://docops.ca.com/ca-unified-infrastructure-management-probes/ga/en/alphabetical-probe-articles/nas-alarm-server/the-nas-extensions-to-lua-all-versions/language-extensions

 

an example in previous post

Hi,

 

I think pre-processing rules doesnt have the NimID in the context (and think like action.close etc are not available).

 

For AO scripts, we have few examples here : 

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

 

If i remember well alarm.get() without id return the current alarm (not sure). Anyware look at these : 

 

alarm.history()

alarm.get()

alarm.list()

 

Best Regards,

Thomas

Hi LWIE,

 

If I understand correctly you want to check nimid in alarms outside current profile or rule.

 

Actually you don't need to connect to SLM database, instead you can connect to nas internal databaase

 

database.open("transactionlog.db")

 

 

and query table NAS_TRANSACTION_LOG or NAS_TRANSACTION_SUMMARY with filters in the where clause for nimid you need

 

Hope this helps
