Afternoon All
We have a simple alarm action defined within VC5, on the Actions tab of the Alarm Settings dialog we have;
Action: "Run a command" with the configuration of:
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\tmp\vcmsg.bat {targetName} {alarmName}
The c:\tmp\vcmsg.bat contains the following:
@echo off
echo Alarm Triggered: %date% %time% >> c:\tmp\vcmsg.log
echo %* >> c:\tmp\vcmsg.log
When looking at the "Tasks and Events" tab in VC5, I can see the alarm action is being trigered correctly:
Alarm 'Datastore usage on disk' on ESXVMF999 ran script c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\tmp\vcmsg.bat ESXVMFS999 alarm.DatastoreDiskUsageAlarm
And when I check the logfile that the vcmsg.bat creates, I only get the "Alarm Triggered: 14/09/2012 14:11:39.98" lines, When I would have expected to see the arguments passed into the vcmsg.bat script on the following line - but they are not present.
If I manually paste the alarm action from "Tasks & Events" into a run dialog, I get exactly the right result in my logfile:
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\tmp\vcmsg.bat ESXVMFS999 alarm.DatastoreDiskUsageAlarm
then my log shows the new entry as:
Alarm Triggered: 14/09/2012 14:11:39.98
ESXVMFS999 alarm.DatastoreDiskUsageAlarm
So in short VC5 is definatley executing the script (proven by the "Alarm Trigged Date Time" lines - but the the VC5 GUI is is displaying the arguments being passed in - but they are not...
Baffled here!
Thanks in advanced for any help!
Points etc.
