hi,

1./  '\n' is being used  correctly by split... no need to use escape character

2./ what i want is to create a new event for each line in original message...

linelist=evt.summary.split('\n')

for line in linelist:

  evt.message = line

  evt.severity = 2

          the above code though takes only first line from the original message ( doen not go through with the loop)... how can i create those different events from the original event ?

regards

hi,

   thanks  so much for the right direction... now i am doing something like

import subprocess

d=evt.device

ip=evt.ipAddress

linelist=evt.message.split('\n')

for line in linelist:

subprocess.call(['/opt/zenoss/bin/zensendevent','-d d','-i ip','-p weblogic','-c /Cmd/Weblogic','-s Critical','"line"'])

   and the transform does not apply... where/how can i debug this ?

regards

Sadat

yes the zenhub log, in debug mode ,does report details about the event like message , severity etc. but it dies not give any information whatsoever about the transform nor does it log any thing from the transform...

regards

Sadat

sorry but i do not see any messages whatsoever related to the transform in zenhub.log after enabling debug mode as well... also i am using both log.debug and print statements in transform for debugging purpose and i can't see those as well in the log...

Sadat

what i want to do is run a system command from a transform... i am using the sys.Popen() command to run the system command... but what is happening is it is spawning many processes and does not exit... the same behaviour is not displayed by the same functionality in a script. any pointers as to why the transform is behaving differently from a normal python script ?
