In Trap Viewer passing value to an external script

inekam

Hello ALL. I am hoping you guys know the answer to this.

I crated a rule that passes the alert to the script and executes it and the script does some data manipulation.

The issue i am having is i need to pass the value to the script in quotes.

This is the example of the trap

ipcMxAlarmNumber=22

ipcMxAlarmIdentifier=IPC TEST ALARM

ipcMxAlarmSeverity=minor(1)

ipcMxAlarmStatus=reported(2)

They way i am calling the script is Execute script.bat

C:\Scripts\AlertScript\Script.bat ${MESSAGE}

What the script does is parsing the variable but it expects the variable in quote to know when it ends. Is there a way to send it in quotes?

Hello,

I don't know if you'll see this after 4 years, but here is what I found.

To include the entire trap as a message you need to use this format:

\"${MESSAGE}\"

I hope this helps somebody.
