Hi

I have 2 issues with my http protocol

The first:

QAction no load after params change value:

<Sessionid="1"name="API Status">

<Connectionid="1"name="Check Ping">

<Requestverb="GET"url="/api/v1/system/network/ping">

</Request>

<ResponsestatusCode="2">

<Contentpid="3"></Content>

</Response>

</Connection>

</Session>

<Timerid="1">

<Name>Fast Timer (10s)</Name>

<Timeinitial="true">10000</Time>

<Interval>75</Interval>

<Content>

<Group>2</Group>

</Content>

</Timer>

<Groupid="2">

<Name>Fast Polling</Name>

<Description>Fast Polling 10s</Description>

<Type>poll</Type>

<Content>

<Session>1</Session>

</Content>

</Group>

<Paramid="2">

<Name>StatusCodePingCheck</Name>

<Description>Status Code API</Description>

<Type>dummy</Type>

</Param>

<Paramid="3">

<Name>PingCheckResponse</Name>

<Description>Ping Check Response</Description>

<Type>dummy</Type>

</Param>

Session working ok and  get : {
"ping": "ok"
}

But no tigger QAction when params 3 have value.

The second issue:
I run manually Qaction:

using System;

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

using Skyline.DataMiner.Scripting;

public static class QAction

{

publicstaticvoid Run(SLProtocol protocol)

{

try

{

string json = protocol.GetParameter(3)?.ToString();

protocol.Log("Value jsonnnnn:" + json,LogLevel.LogEverything);

var jsonObject = JObject.Parse(json);

if (jsonObject.TryGetValue("ping", out JToken pingToken))

{

string pingValue = pingToken.ToString();

if (string.Equals(pingValue, "ok", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))

{

protocol.SetParameter(Parameter.apihealth, 1); // OK

}

else

{

protocol.SetParameter(Parameter.apihealth, 0); // FAIL

}

}

else

{

protocol.SetParameter(Parameter.apihealth, 0);

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

protocol.Log($"QA{protocol.QActionID}|{protocol.GetTriggerParameter()}|Run|Exception:{Environment.NewLine}{ex}", LogType.Error, LogLevel.NoLogging);

protocol.SetParameter(Parameter.apihealth, 0); // Por seguridad: asumimos FAIL

}

}

}

For some reason params 3 is null

but in log appear :

Hi Jose,

It's hard to see from your code fragment what goes wrong, since not your whole connector is included.
My best guess at the moment is that the problem is caused by parameter 3 since it is defined as a dummy parameter.
That parameter should be a string/text parameter instead of a dummy parameter because we want to store the content of the response into that parameter.

Let me know if this resolves at least 1 of your issues.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Are you still experiencing both of your problems?
You mention in your initial post that the QAction is not triggered on parameter change, but at the same time that the response is {"ping": "ok"}, so I assume that the QAction does get triggered on some moments? It's good to know that DataMiner will not trigger the QAction if the data in the parameter stays identical (so in your case a ping that results again in the same response {"ping": "ok"} that is put in parameter 3, will not cause the QAction to be triggered again).

Could you provide some more information on what exactly is going wrong and what you expect to be happening?

Kind regards,
Jose Araujo [DevOps Advocate] commented

Hi Bram,

Yes, have both problem

No tigger QAction, APIHealth parameter no show "ok", APIHealth have 2 status (Fail and Ok),

when run for first time protocol no run Qaction, I need qaction detect if :
{
"ping": "ok"
}
show "OK" in API Health parameter if is null or other value show "Fail"

thanks

Hi,

Could you as a debugging step make parameter 3 visible by giving it a position on the display?
I'd expect that the raw json string ({"ping": "ok"}) will be visible in that parameter after a few seconds (when the timer goes off and the session is executed).

Let me know if you can indeed see that response or not.
