Calling existing script from SAM

Just make a small SAM powershell script that calls the other script.  

Yep, sorry, it did specify bash scripts.  I need to learn to read...

so on the linux scripts, there is a "command line" option as well as the "Script Body".  *IF* the script already outputs the proper SAM "statistic:" format, then you can call the script from the command line, and in the script body isn't used.  You will still need to edit the script to get the output results, so just put in a "#" as the script body.

That was my first thought but I didn't know if there are any issues with this method or if there was a better way to handle it.

So, now, when I add command line argument to point to the actual script, I get the result back in the correct format but SAM doesn't recognize it (with Script body being empty). When I test it, it fails but does return correct values.

One possibility is that the exit code from the script is non-zero.

When you manually run it at the command line, do "echo $?" to see what the exit code was.

It does return 0. Actually, when I test the script in SAM it returns the correct values, it's just not recognized by SAM. As if I need to convert those return values somehow.

This is the return of test:
No fields were recognized in the script output:
Statistic.Alias1Age: 0
Message.Alias1Age: alias-..... on a..........edu is 22 seconds (0:00:22) old.
Statistic.Alias2Age: 0
Message.Alias2Age: alias-...... on a..........edu is 22 seconds (0:00:22) old.
Statistic.Alias3Age: 0
Message.Alias3Age: a....... on a.........edu is 22 seconds (0:00:22) old.
Statistic.Alias4Age: 0
Message.Alias4Age: a........ on a...........edu is 22 seconds (0:00:22) old.

It looks right.  I litterally took your text made it a script with just echo's of your data and it works.

Building on that, it is pretty unlikely that pre-existing scripts would already be in a SAM friendly format, but you could just execute their script, then in SAM the body of our script translates whatever they gave you into Statistic: Message: format for Orion.

When they were writing their scripts, I told them what they needed to add to make it SAM-friendly which they did. If I copy the script into SAM, it works. So, my question is if I want to use the output of the script, how do I manipulate it? If in "command line" I'm putting /dir/folder/script.sh (the script is executable).

Ok, next step.  Assign the template to the node, even though it's not working quite right.  Edit the monitor (or I guess you could do this in the template), and turn Debug: On.  And do a "poll now".

Then on the node, go to /opt/SolarWinds/Agent/bin/appdata/Logs/ApplicationLogs/AppId<blah>

See what the log says.
