The HTTP Post Action can be used to make RPC calls to other WACIs. Set the “Output to” field to the
/rpc
directory of the other WACI, e.g.
192.168.0.120/rpc
. The “Output value” should be the RPC
call (see
Syntax for HTTP Post
)
.
Log
Use the Log Action to write information about the status of the system, or about a specific Event to a text
log file. Specify the name of the log file using the “Output to” field. The content of the “Output value”
field is written to the log file. The “Output value” can contain either an expression or a simple piece of
text.
Log files are created in a
/logs
directory on the WACI. To get access to the file, you can use FTP, or
the
Log_ReadFile
RPC function.
There are no repeat values for Log Actions. The Action will execute only once each time the owning
Event is triggered.
Telnet
A Telnet Action can be used to send data to a Telnet enabled network server device. The format of the
telnet data is dependent on the capabilities of the server receiving the data. The data returned by the server
can be obtained if a Telnet Event is created for the same server. A Telnet Action will create a temporary
connection to a Telnet server, if no Telnet Event to the same server already exists.
There are no repeat values for Telnet Actions. The Action will execute only once each time the owning
Event is triggered.
Use the “Timeout in” value to have the Action abort, if it doesn’t complete before the time-out period
expires.
