Pass Alert Message as Arguments to custom script

Hi All,

I couldn't find much on this, so I thought I rather ask in the forum.

My requirement:

Whenever there's a particular log observed, I'm planning to make custom alerts and execute a command.

So I'd have to touch the user_alert.conf file to add my alert to something like below.

alert my_alert_name "" {
exec command="/path/tomy/script"
}

But would I be able to pass the matched message as an argument to my execution script.

alert my_alert_name "" {
exec command="/path/tomy/script "
}

Note: My matched message is dynamic and would be having something like,

The inbound request is /abcd/xyz

Basically it's the log local0. Msg coming from Irule. So if I could pass the complete matched message as argument, my script has the functionality to filter my uri's and perform certain functions.

Or does anyone has suggestions/alternatives or ideas in achieving this.

  • Note: I cannot go with the sideband call approach too, it requires basic authentication headers to be passed.

     

    Is it doable via Icall ?
