Using the mail script for syslog messages delivered with RME 3.3

[p.tavan]

Hello,

I want to receive a mail when I receive a specific Syslog message.

So I have declared a Syslog action in RME, launching a file I have created : mail.bat. This file contains :

d:

cd \program files\cscopx\cgi-bin\sysloga

perl sampleEmailScript.pl -text_message $M -email_ids

mon.email@masociete.com -subject "Alerte CiscoWorks 2000" -from

mon.email@masociete.com -smtp my_smtp-server

I want to receive in the mail the content of the syslog, but instead I receive :

Dear CW2K User,

This email is generated by the sampleEmailScript.pl program. The syslog message that was configured for this automated action is :

$M

Don't use batch file, copy the content of your batch file into the specific command section (one line only) and try.

I thank you Andrea, I am going to try and I will tell you if it works.

Hi, would you mind to share this command line syntax with me. I am trying to do the same thing until we have DFM installed. Thanks in advance/Elsie

Yeah, could someone provide us with the correct line syntax? I would ike to use this because the mail notifier in DFM is way to limited.

thanks,

Patrick

Hi,

I have only this note for you.

Create a new autoaction, from the admin syslog analyzer menu.

Select the specific host and syslog message type and copy the following string in the command field of the new autoaction:

c:\progra~1\cscopx\bin\perl c:\progra~1\cscopx\cgi-bin\sysloga\sampleEmailScript.pl -text_message $D -email_ids pippo@pippo.com -subject "Link Up/Down" -smtp smtp.pippo.com

where pippo@pippo.com is the destination and smtp.pippo.com the smtp server.

Let me know.

Andrea.

Andrea,

Are you sure the D$ is the right way to get the parameters from CW?

Because then i just give me the D$ in the mail....

Thanks,

Patrick

I have this:

C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\bin\perl C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\cgi-bin\sysloga\sampleEmailScript.pl -text_message $M -email_ids jalonso@univision.net -subject "CW2K Warning !!!" -from CiscoAdmin -smtp 10.1.3.8

and it only worked for me when I used a SMTP server that is not a MS Exchange Server , I'm using a Linux SMTP Server.
