Hello,
This is my first question about The Dude.
I need to ping some devices on my network, which are not accesible directly from the Dude server. So I wrote a perl script that makes a connection (telnet) with a router, pings the specified devices and returns OK for responding devices and DOWN for the others.
What I need to do (and don't know how) is to create a custom poller that will call the perl script, read the results and set the state of the devices on my dude map to UP or DOWN accordingly.
Is there a way to do this in The Dude?
Thanks in advance,
MP

No one?
Is the question too vague?

But you should first read "Probe Thread" and you will find the answer how to write function to execute external aplication and than you should create the probe based on it results.

Re: Create poller with external command
Well...I've tried, but I don't get it to work!
Here's my implementation:
----
---
The script called "remote_telnet.pl" connects to a router, pings a machine and returns 1 in case of success and -1 in case of error.
Where's the mistake?
Here's my implementation:

Code: Select all
Function
Name: myping()
Code: array_element(execute("perl remote_telnet.pl"),1)
Probe
Type: function
Available: if(myping()>0, "up", "down")
Error: if(myping()<0, "", "down")
Value: 1The script called "remote_telnet.pl" connects to a router, pings a machine and returns 1 in case of success and -1 in case of error.

Re: Create poller with external command
execute("perl remote_telnet.pl") - will not work.Where's the mistake?
The dude knows nothing about Windows PATH and nothing about where remote_telnet.pl is located.
You should use it like this
Code: Select all
array_element(execute("cscript.exe",concatenate("//NoLogo C:\\dudescr\\loggeduser.vbs ",User_Pass()),"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\"),1) Note: you should use doble \\ in The Dude v4.0 and \ in The Dude v < 4.0
