I figured this should work as a test but it doesn't
I simply created a script, then run this script against a node
:log warning "Script Test Start"
:log warning "Node IP is ${N=SwisEntity;M=IP_Address}"
:log warning "Node IP also is ${IP}"
:log warning "Script Test End"
since i'm only getting 2 log entries, it looks like it's literally pasting those characters in (which is an invalid command and gets rejected)
I also tried this in a compliance rule by simply entering
/ip address find where address=${N=SwisEntity;M=IP_Address}
Expecting when I hit test and point to a config file it would show i.e.
/ip address find where address=192.168.1.1
But again it shows the literal text, not an IP address
Am I doing something wrong here?
I need to be able to run compliance reports and find some particular lines that use the primary/loopback address of nodes. And if those lines don't exist, NCM will create them. So scripting is necessary here as it'll be run against hundreds of routers
