Action

[victor]

Hi,

no you cannot get data from action. You can pass arguments to action - in server configuration you specify them separated by spaces (like in normal command line). When action is called, String[] args will contain those arguments. Boolean return value is to indicate if action was executed successfully.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply,

I defined action in object tool, is it right? because i saw an action configuration in configuration menu strip.
Also i used {DeviceActionName arg1 arg2} in agent's command field in object tool but on execute i got : Cannot execute action on node {NodeName}: Communication failure

With Best Regards

Hi,

did you define action correctly in subagent? Can you show code registering your action?

Hi,

Here is my action code in some class that extends the Plugin, the other part of code are same as the sample code in  ..\netxms-snapshot-develop\src\agent\subagents\java\sample
All of my parameters and  actions work fine in this class but passing parameter to actions is not possible and the action.txt file only contain "Action has been executed" !

Thanks

Code seems to be correct. Try to check with nxget that action was registered:

nxget -l agent_ip_addr Agent.ActionList

Also, make sure you are using correct action name in object tool. You can also execute agent action from command line using nxaction command.

The Action is already registered (as it name appear in node's supported action list),
but there is no nxaction binary fine in ..\NetXMS\bin in client side !
I'm using 2.0 RC 1 agent.

Hi,

nxaction is a server side tool.

Hi

You're right that's server side, And i can see my action is registered here !

[root@netxmslinux bin]# nxget -l 192.168.11.84 Agent.ActionList
Agent.Restart 2 "CORE"
System.Restart 2 "WinNT"
System.Shutdown 2 "WinNT"
DeviceLogAction 2 "JAVA"

Each time i use nxaction some error occur : Required argument(s) missing.
Can i have some example for using nxaction ?

My command is :
nxaction DeviceLogAction -a 'none' -e 0 -K /usr/local/var/lib/netxms/.server_key -p 4700 -w 5 -W 30

I Also tried to check each one of these option by removing them,
and it does not work.

Thanks for your reply,

You have to specify agent address in command line as well (before action name).
