Not triggering the custom action

CommunityUser — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 13:04:54 GMT

Hi,

When a health rule is voilated it is not triggering the custom action. But some times it is triggering the custom action and I am getting the necessary parameters into my script.

Can anyone please help me in this regarding.

Thanks

Siva

When you say its triggering sometimes, does that mean after regular interval of times?

If you can share the screen shot of the health rule configuration, the action and the policy?

I suspect it may have to do something with the value of the time set to evaluate the health rule again.

Hi Gurmit,

No, It is not for regular intervels. For maximum times it is not firing the custom action.

Please find the attachment for configurations.

Thanks

Hi Gurmit,

Are you asking about controller logs (<controller home>/logs) or logs specific to custom action?

If it is specific to custom action can you please send the path where can I find the custom action logs.

Please find the attachment for controller logs.

Thanks,

Siva

custom action logs, can be found under the folder of your custom action

controller_home/custom/actions/action_folder/logs ?

Hi Gurmit,

Thanks for your information. But I am unable to find any log file in the actions folder.

Is there any other possibility to find that logs?

Thanks and Regards

You mentioned custom action, whchi action are you referring to?

You must have set up that action on your controller right?

can you provide ls -ltr output of <controller_home>/monitors/action

Hi @Anonymous,

Was this the documentation you were looking at? https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Build+a+Custom+Action

Hi Ryan,

Yes I checked this document and follow the steps mentioned in it but still I am not able to perform the action. I want to run one unix script from AppDynamics, could you please help me how do I achieve it?

Hi @Anonymous,

Thanks for letting me know. I don't have the solution at this time. Let's see if the community can jump in and provide some insights.
