Using Script Arguments - APM v3.5

tcwatkins

Hello

I am trying to use the ${IP} script argument in a jscript for a Window Script Monitor.

Here is the snippet of code

var client;
var command;
var stream;

client = new ActiveXObject("MatrixSwitchInterface.Client");

stream = client.getStream("${IP}",9100);

 

I get the followin error

C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Orion\temp\a372b712-fe84-4f1a-9143-20dd5790eaba(8, 1) System: No such host is known

${IP} is in the "Script Arguments" field of the component monitor.

I have tried double quotes because it needs to be passed as a string. I've tried single quotes, no quotes, assigning it to a variable but nothing works

Any help would be greatly appreciated

No sooner do I post then I see that you already tried assigning it to a variable.

Can you try removing the stream and activex calls and just trying...

WScript.Echo "Message: ${IP}"

 WScript.Echo "Statistic: 0"

in the various forms you've tried before to verify that ${IP} is feeding correctly to the script?

Sorry I'm not much more help today, I don't have access to my work computer right now.

 

Original Post:

I've never actually tried using ${IP} directly in the script body, so I can't really speak to whether or not it will actually work there.  If you have it in the Script Arguments you will need to assign it to a variable.

In VBScript you would do something like...

strIP = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)

From there you would be able to use that variable later on:

stream = client.getStram( strIP , 9100 );
