hi all,
i have tried the Function SetCustomAttribute in script library. than i configured Action to Execute the script for Event Sys_Node_Added. it works fine for all the new added Nodes with same custom attribute value.
now what i want is that custom attrubute value should be added node Hostname.
So i used this
SetCustomAttribute($node, "Node_HostName", "%n")
but i get the Value %n. why macro didn't work here. secondly how to set the custom attribute for the Interfaces or Instance.

thank you,
Percy

Hi!

Macros only works in string expansion for events, alarms, and actions. Strings withing scripts are just strings. If you want to set current node name as custom attribute, you can do it like following:

SetCustomAttribute($node, "Node_HostName", $node->name);

You can find interface object using FindInterfaceObject function, and then use SetCustomAttribute as usual to set custom attribute for interface.

Best regards,
Victor

hi victor ,

this works fine for new added nodes...how to set custom attribute for those which were previously added nodes. and not getting the Custom attribute for the Interfaces. how to apply the script to the interfaces.

thank you
