About custom notification methods

About custom notification methods

Custom Notification Methods are created using external scripts, and typically used to perform some tasks when an event occurs in the NetVault Backup Domain.

The script file contains header and body. The header specifies the script name and provides a brief description about the script. The script body contains the commands. You can use any text editor to create the script file. The script file should reside in the global subdirectory under the NetVault Backup scripts directory (<NetVault Backup home>\scripts\global on Windows and <NetVault Backup home>/scripts/global on Linux).

Only users with a good knowledge of scripting using NetVault Backup executable files and environmental variables should use this feature.

Creating a custom notification method

To create a custom notification method:
1
Open a new script file in a text editor.
2
Create the script header:
•
Specify the method name on the first line. Enclose the name within the NVNAMESTART and NVNAMEEND tags.
On Linux and UNIX platforms, specify the interpreter name on the first line of the script (for example, #!\bin\sh).
•
To include a description about the script, enclose the text within the NVCOMMENTSTART and NVCOMMENTEND tags. You can use multiple lines of text. Script description is optional.
•
Begin each header line with a REM tag on Windows and the “#” character on Linux and UNIX to mark the line as a comment.
Example (Windows):
REM NVNAMESTART My Custom MethodNVNAMEEND
REM NVCOMMENTSTART Start a new
REM occurrence of this event.
REM NVCOMMENTEND
3
Create the script body and specify the syntax for the commands. You can open the NetVault Backup scripts in the util directory using any text editor to view the proper structure and use them as a template for custom scripts.
To use NetVault Backup scripts residing in the scripts directory, provide the complete path:
•
Windows: %NVHOME%\scripts\<command>
•
Linux and UNIX: $NVHOME/scripts/<command>
Verify that the script has a valid exit status.
4
Save the script:
•
On Windows, assign “.bat” extension to the file and save it in the <NetVault Backup home>\scripts\global directory.
•
On Linux, assign “.sh” extension to the file and save it in the <NetVault Backup home>/scripts/global directory.

Setting up a custom notification method

To set a custom notification method:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Configure Notifications.
2
On the Editing Global Notification Profile page, open the event class, and then open the event type that you want to be notified about.
3
Select the custom notification method.
4
In the Notification Method box, set the environment variables:
•
To specify multiple arguments, you can use a Comma (“,”), Carriage Return (CR), or Line Feed (LF) as a delimiter.
Example: Comma as a delimiter
ARG0=NVTEST.NV_Test_SP_v2, ARG1=1, ARG2=NETVAULT, ARG3=NVRelease, ARG4=1, ARG5=1, ARG6=p_return_msg, ARG7=p_status
Example: CR or LF (that is, a new line) as a delimiter
ARG0=NVTEST.NV_Test_SP_v2
ARG1=1
...
ARG7=p_status
•
To include special characters in the value string, use the Exclamation Mark (“!”) escape character:
•
To specify Comma (“,”) in the value string, enter “!,”
•
To specify Exclamation Mark (“!”) in the value string, enter “!!”
•
To specify Equals (“=”) in the value string, enter “!=”
You cannot use Escape characters in the name string.
5
Click Save to save the global notification profile.
