My goal with the external script is to remove '\r' characters from the message on the Pre-processing rule. When the message gets modified by my script let Solarwinds with other 'Processing rules' generate an alarm and send an email

Could it be a bug? 

Thanks @KMSigma I've tested successfully my script that receives the argument ${Message} from Solarwinds. So, now that I have received the argument how do I pass back the variable ${Message} (already modified) to Solarwinds for further processing?

I tried to create a record on the table Orion.APIPoller.ApiPoller by using PowerShell and it can't be done. Seems like that table can't be modified by a 3rd party app via APIs through CRUD operations. 

Seems like you can't set any value to the column Description. Try removing that property from your JSON. UPDATE: I have tested and seems like that table will be automatically updated by Solarwinds when a polling is triggered

Thank you Kevin. How do I tell Solarwinds that my script finished its execution? Is there any parameterization that I need to set after my script has ended? Thank you.

Hi @"tony.johnson" Thank you for the example, it helped me a lot. I am in the same Nicolas situation. Did you happen to know the tables that we should insert the data following this workflow? Which tables are going to be updated automatically? I am not sure if Orion.APIPoller.ApiPoller table should have anything to do with…

Thank you. That's exactly the place where I needed to find it. Quick question: Whenever a trap is sent to Solarwinds, if a rule triggers an action (say send an email), if I want to do anything with the trap before the email is sent should I grab it before or after it is stored on the database?
