<![CDATA[Template autoapply rules]]>Dear community.

I'm trying to apply a template for ICMP monitoring to devices that are under specific containers and I'm having issues with the Automatic apply rule configuration

for (p : $node->parents) {
    if (p->type == 5 && (p->id==109031 || p->id==42342))
        return true;
}

What would be the best way to apply a template if the device is under specific containers?

Has someone used the new function isDirectParent(object)?

Thank you

Thanks Filipp/Iweidig

parents = GetNodeParents($node);
for (p : parents) {
    if (p->type == 5 && (p->id==109031 || p->id==55839 ||p->id==177))
        {
        
        return true;
    }
}
return false;

else
{
  return false;
}

will fix the issue.

In overall you can use
trace(0, "your debug");
PollerTrace("your debug");
to debug what's happeing. First one adds to server log, the latter - to the output of poll messages when you do e.g. Configuration poll from node's context menu.
