To get any property set by the underlying management system, use either the dot notation alarm.property or the array notation alarm[property]. The array notation might be necessary if the property name itself is a reserved word of JavaScript, such as “class”, “in”, or “function.” For example:
var alarm = formula.Elements.alarms[0] // Assume at least one! writeln( 'Alarm: ' + alarm + ' is attached to ' + alarm.element )
To set a property, assign a value to the right-hand portion of an assignment operation. The two ways to denote property accessors are using dot (.) notation and using array notation ([]). Assigning a property to an alarm exposed in Operations Center scripting engine might result in an actual transaction against a managed resource.
An example:
// Warning, this adds some random field values to a random alarm // DO NOT use on a production system! try { var alarm = formula.Elements.alarms[0] // Assume at least one! alarm.foo = 'bar' alarm[ 'class' ] = 'Zinger' } catch( Exception ) { formula.log.warn( 'Could not modify alarm: ' + Exception ) }
