15.3.5 Developing JavaScript Actions

The information below is very basic development information about developing JavaScript actions.

Creating a JavaScript Action
JavaScript actions take advantage of the functionality and flexibility of the JavaScript language and
can be used to execute actions using Sentinel system methods to do things such as:
Start/stop the Collectors
Add/remove from dynamic lists
Get a current event
Get a correlated event
Get a correlation event collection
Get an incident
Execute actions by using Integrators
The code sample below starts or stops a Collector based on the information in the correlated event.
importPackage(java.lang);
var CollectorName = "TC_5";
var evt = scriptEnv.getCurrentEvent();
var collNm = evt.getPort();
var outfile = new java.io.PrintWriter(new java.io.FileWriter("/opt/jaya/
strtcoll.txt", true));
if(collNm && collNm.equals(CollectorName))
{
var collist = ESM.collectorsForName(collNm);
if (collist.size() > 0)
{
var coll = collist.get(0);
outfile.println("Stopping " + CollectorName);
coll.stop();
Thread.sleep(60000);
outfile.println("starting " +CollectorName);
coll.start();
}
}
else
{
outfile.println("JSTest collector does not exist");
}
outfile.close();
