Use logmon probe to execute linux script

[Oswaldo Muñoz]

Hello,

I´m trying to execute a script using the logmon probe. The script return a value(integer) that i want evaluate it. 
 

/home/nimbus/scripts/PRUEBAS/OSWALDO/qos_service_finder.sh This script works fine.

Then, i have modified the script to recieve it two parameters like this:

/home/nimbus/scripts/PRUEBAS/OSWALDO/qos_service_finder.sh PARM1 PARM2

The script works fine on a linux console, but in the logmon probe don´t work. Is possible to pass it parameters in command mode?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help!!!

But that i want to do is as follow:

is this works??
I have two scripts, one without parameters and other with parameters.
The scripts without parameters works fine in a linux console and logmon probe.
The script with parameters works fine in a linux console but don´t work in a logmon probe. I possible use parameters ins the Command text box?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, that's possible.

I'd suggest butting the whole command in parentheses like:

(/source/my_command.sh parm1 parm2)

Hello,

I have put the script between the parentheses but it doesn´t work yet.
Any more suggestion.

Thanks a lot.

set the log level to 5 for logmon and try it again. You should get the output in the logmon log file along with error codes.

A description of what "doesn't work" actually means would also be helpful.

Try it between ticks/single quotes.

Hello,

I have modified the script to use only one parameter and works. Are there a limitation with the number of characters in the command text box? The parameter that i have changed is an URL and is very long. I suppose that this is the problem because i have other commands with paramaeters and works.

Thanks for your time!!!

I believe that the limit is 512 characters (or maybe 1024) - it's a limitation of the cfg file format.

Similar issues will be experienced with things like the sql_response probe where you might have a long SQL query to specify.
