Working with vFoglight Rules and Registry 279

Working with Rules

• Command Actions. They cause an external action to be executed on the machine

hosting the vFoglight Management Server. For example, a Command action may

run the executable that starts a service. Various parameters can be set for this

action. The mandatory parameter is

COMMAND_LINE which is the executable

command and one or more arguments. Optionally, you can also set OS

environment variables (separated by an exclamation mark).

• Remote Command Actions. They cause an external action to be executed on a

remote platform. Various parameters can be set for this action including a

mandatory parameter is

COMMAND_LINE.

• Script Actions. They cause an arbitrary script to be run when the rule fires. This is

to be used for any integration not available through built-in actions. Various

parameters can be set for this action, such as script name (mandatory), scoping

topology ID, scripting object ID, and arguments associated with the script. The

ten arguments (0-9) must be mapped directly to the script, and it is the

responsibility of the user to assure the parameters match the script in number and

in type. There is currently no validation facility for script actions.

For a list of parameters that are supported in each action type, refer to “About action

parameters” on page 288.

Viewing email settings and configuring email actions

The report engine uses email actions to send reports to email recipients or email alarm-

related messages to vFoglight administrators when certain thresholds are reached. When

you add a scheduled report and specify its email recipients using the Report Manager

dashboard, vFoglight uses the default mail parameters, set by the vFoglight registry

with the

mail. prefix, to send the report to the specified recipients at a rate set in the

associated schedule.

Alternatively, you may need to edit the default email-related settings that control mail

connection and mail socket by creating two new registry variables,

mail.connection.timeout and mail.socket.timeout, and assigning them the

appropriate value in seconds.

For complete information about creating reports and the Report Manager dashboard, see

the vFoglight User Guide. For information on where to find the global settings that

vFoglight uses for sending emails, see “Mail (Global Settings)” on page 61.

In some situations you may need to filter the reports before sending them to email

recipients. You can do that by editing the Fire condition of the rule Email Reports

Sample as required. For instructions on how to write rule conditions, see “Writing

conditions” on page 261.
