How to obtain node IP to be used as a variable in script.

Hi

Try ${AgentIP}

Here is the list

 Thanks for the reply!  How would I slice it to only use the middle two octets then?  I've reviewed the link you provided and I don't see anything in regards to using only part of the variable.   Is there any example you could provide?

So the ncm scripting capabilities are not a full language, essentially they can't perform math and string manipulations like that and they can't perform logic in flight, like you can't run a command,  parse the response and then use that result in the script.  The work around that you can do is to pre calculate that sort of thing with an external script and then assign it to a node custom property.   In the past I've done things like create a property called ManagementIP and execute an ncm job that went out and ran show commands that I would need.   Then I used a powershell script that ran later to parse out what I needed and inserted it into the property.  From that point forward I could just call the node property in future ncm script jobs where I needed to reference to individual device management IPs.

I'll admit it was a bit of an overly complex Rube Goldberg machine but the client insisted they wanted these things to work that way.   Given the choice I'd have just wrote the whole script in powershell, once I was working outside the product there was no reason not to finish the job with the more flexible tool of an actual scripting language. 

python please ...
