<![CDATA[Auto bind and auto apply script]]>Hello again.

I am trying to prove automatic template application and automatic node binding to containers based on filters (node name begins with "FG100A") and do not work none of these filters:
 

sub main()
{
return left($1,6) = "FG100A" ? 1 : 0;
}

sub main()
{
return left($node,6) = "FG100A" ? 1 : 0;
}

sub main()
{
return left($node,6) = "FG100A" ? $node : 0;
}

What is wrong?
Thanks in advanced

There are documentation chapter about scripting language itself, and reference for all functions. However, writing transformation and filtering script are not covered. I'll try to add additional information on this topic to documentation.

i'm trying to figure out how it works, but it's tough to find resources about auto bind filters etc. etc.

Auto bind/apply occurs during configuration polls. You can force configuration poll for specific node from console (via Poll -> Configuration menu), or decrease interval between configuration polls by changing server's parameter ConfigurationPollingInterval.

Attributes of node object:

name Node name
id Object identifier
status Node status (0 = Normal, 1 = Warning, 2 = Minor, 3 = Major, 4 = Critical, 5 = Unknown, 6 = Unmanaged)
ipAddr Node primary IP address (as text string, like 10.2.1.4)
isAgent Agent presense flag: 1 if NetXMS agent present on node, 0 if not
isSNMP SNMP support flag: 1 if SNMP is supported by node, 0 if not
isBridge Bridge flag: 1 if node is bridge or switch, 0 if not
isRouter IP router flag: 1 if node is Ip router (can forward IP packets), 0 if not
isPrinter Printer flag: 1 if node detected to be a network printer, 0 if not
isCDP CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) support flag: 1 node supports CDP, 0 if not
isSONMP SONMP (SynOptics Network Management Protocol) support flag: 1 node supports SONMP, 0 if not
isLLDP LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) support flag: 1 node supports LLDP, 0 if not
snmpVersion SNMP version used for communication with node's SNMP agent
snmpOID SNMP object ID
agentVersion NetXMS agent version (as string, like 0.2.26)
platformName Platform name, as returned by NetXMS agent (for example, windows-i386)

Victor

Now it complete auto bind/apply. But it takes a few minutes. Is there any parameter in server configuration that I can setting to make it faster?

...$node variable is an object, and you need to compare it's name attribute.

What other attributes for $node object? Some other usefull objects->attributes for auto bind/apply operations?

Best regards.

You should use == for compare operation. = is an assignment operation.

For example:

a = 1

means "assign value 1 to variable a"

and

a == 1

means "test if variable's value is 1".

Second error is that $node variable is an object, and you need to compare it's name attribute. To access it, use

$node->name

And compare always returns 1 or 0, so you can omit ? 1 : 0 part and simply use

left($node->name,6) == "FG100A"

So, correct script will looks like

sub main()
{
   return left($node->name, 6) == "FG100A";
}

Best regards,
Victor
