NXSL Script - Get DCI Comments?

[DrCamel]

Is there a way to retrieve the "Comments" property of a DCIObject?

Essentially I'd like to add some support information to the comments section of a DCI, that is also then included in emails that are generated for alerts against that DCI.

As a test I tried the following:-

sub main() {
	node = FindObject("SomeNode");
	dciID = FindDCIByName(node, "SomeDCIName");
	dciObj = GetDCIObject(node, dciID);
	println(dciObj->name);
	println(dciObj->comments);
}

However it errors on the comments attribute line, and certainly the https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/NXSL:DCI page does not list a "comments" attribute (but there is one on the node object https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/NXSL:Node)

I've had a look through the script reference pages, but I can't see any functions to enable me to query it - does anyone know of a way to do so?

Otherwise I guess I would need to use a custom attribute.

Yes, comments attribute was missing in DCI class. I've added it, will be available in 2.0-M5.

Excellent, thanks Victor!

Is there any work around in the meantime? aside from using custom attributes instead.

If you build server from sources, you can try replace files src/server/include/nms_dcoll.h and src/server/core/nxsl_classes.cpp with attached and recompile the server. Other than that, there are no workarounds.
