Combining KAL Functions on a service

[jgutermuth]

Hello, Group. I am attempting to apply a custom KAL script on a service, which will do the following:

1. Do a TCP connection to host A on port 8080.

2. Do a TCP connection to host B on port 8080.

3. Ping host C.

If any of the above fail, the service should be taken down. I have been attempting to combine the built-in TCP connect and Ping list scripts, but with no success. Any advice or sample scripts out there?

Thanks!

I think you should provide us your script and let us know what is not working.

Did you capture a trace ?

Is the CSS doing the tcp connections correctly ?

Or is the script not even running ?

Thanks,

Gilles.

Gilles, Thanks for the reply. Here is the script I have come up with:

set HOSTA "${ARGS}[1]"

set HOSTB "${ARGS}[2]"

set HOSTC "${ARGS}[3]"

socket connect host ${ARGS}[1] port 8080 tcp

set CONTINUE_ON_ERROR "1"

set SOCKET-STAT "${STATUS}"

set CONTINUE_ON_ERROR "0"

socket disconnect ${SOCKET} graceful

socket connect host ${ARGS}[2] port 8080 tcp

set CONTINUE_ON_ERROR "1"

set SOCKET-STAT "${STATUS}"

set CONTINUE_ON_ERROR "0"

socket disconnect ${SOCKET} graceful

ping ${ARGS}[3] | grep -u Success

if STATUS "NEQ" "0"

show variable UGREP | grep 100

if STATUS "==" "0"

set EXIT_MSG "Ping: Failure to ping ${ARGS}[3]"

exit script 1

It appears to be working, but I am unsure I have entered the script exit commands correctly - to fail on fault.
