Notofication doesn´t execute the script

Votes:

0

Hello,

i have a problem with the notification. I set it to execute this scriptand set the right parameters.

The scripts works if it is executed in the powershell of de server containing the same parameters as the PRTG server. The Notification protocol shows "sending EXE: OK" after the trigger pulls, but if i put in the subject or in the body variables like %message or %name it always shows up errors like:

Fehler beim Versenden von "EXE": Fehler1. Code: : The term 'Code:' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:161 + ... ierter[...] (Sensor/Source/ID: 5074/5072/1)

in this example the error message has a "Code:" and it doesn't recognize it as a string. What is set wrong?

the Notofications functions with this parameters: [email protected] "Device" "Errormessage" sntpserver [email protected]

but it doesn´t work with this one: [email protected] "%device" ""%status" sntpserver [email protected]

the tests show that it doesn´t matter if the variables are positioned in the quotation or not.

There's an extra quote there, try this one:
[email protected] "%device" "%status" smtpserver [email protected]

sorry it was my fault. The extra quote was put in by me when i wrote the example with the variables. This quote wasn´t there on our tests. I just verified the parameters these are: [email protected] "%device" "%status" smtpserver [email protected]

Just like you said.

a new update to this post: it works only when the variable contains only one string like "device.domain.local" but it wouldn´t work if it contains any space between the words (ex. device domain local). It seems like the quotes in the parameters are totally ignored.

Ah - can you try using single quotes instead of double quotes? And double double quotes, e.g. ""%device""" - does it work then?

Thanks!
