Re: Take Action log

All the status 0 means is that the command was successfully started - it 
does not reflect the exit code of the command.

Non-zero status - meaning depends on platform. I have seen ones that meant 
program exception or crash, others that meant unable to find the file, 
stuff like that.

Getting the exit code in a Linux/Unix environment is pretty easy

script.sh  || echo $? >>/tmp/exitcode.log

An actual missing command... haven't run into that one before.

I have take action configured for a klo log monitoring situation. 
Sometimes it doesnt run the script on the agent though i can see event in 
TEPS. In LGO/1 log, i dont see any entries but the situation status is 
open in tacmd listsit.

For the sucessful execution I can see in LG0/LG1 logs <Date> Executed 
<script.sh> with status 0. Is there way to know return code details?

Is there any log to know, why situation didnt execute action? Why it 
failed?

_ms_time.log has the situation details, but i cudnt identify which lines 
refer take action. Can you help?

Thanks,
Annamalai

The operations log 

Agent:  *.LG0 
Linux/Unix:  hostname_ms_time.log 
Windows: kdsmain.log 

will contain a record of action commands. Basically whether they started 
OK [status 0] or not. The command text message is limited size so there is 
truncation possible. 

I often use it during development to make sure the action command ran or 
not. 

There is nothing that is "Audit worthy" or a historical records etc.

Hi 

I have a situation configured with take action. It will call a script on 
the agent.

Is there any log in TEMS or in Agent to know take action script has been 
called or not?

I can see the situation status as open, but cannot confirm it evoked the 
action script on agent. Is there a way to confirm?

Thanks,
Annamalai
