FTP check with Groovy script

[Jean-Michel Toussaint 0]

I am trying to use groovy to verify the connectivity of an FTP server following the FAQ (http://help.logicmonitor.com/using/da...)

Here is the exact script used:

import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.expect.Expect

cli = Expect.open(\'\'x.x.x.x\'\', 21, 5)

cli.expect(\'\'220 \'\')

cli.send( \'\'user anonymous

\'\' )

cli.expect(\'\'331 \'\')

cli.send(\'\'pass meme

\'\')

cli.expect( \'\'230 \'\')

cli.send( \'\'quit

\'\' )

Unfortunately, the groovy debugger wither comes back with a timeout, or the following:

>> !groovy

End of stream reached, no match found

My FTP server, in turn, see the connection coming from the agent, but never receives the \'\'USER anonymous\'\' command.

Any Help welcome

In the coming release, in a week or two, there will be direct access to all properties of a host.n

nRight now you can use HOSTNAME and WILDVALUE (quoted) in scripts.n

nYou can also pass in any property as a parameter to your groovy script, and then access positionally:n

ne.g.n

nhost = this.args[0]n

nso youd use HOSTNAME as the parameters to your script in the datasource screen.n

nThere is currently a risk that WILDVALUE, when substituted, could break the script syntax (if the WILDVALUE object contains a quote, say). That risk will go away in the coming release.

I have tried 220 , and 220 exact_sentence_returned_by_FTP.n

nNot any better.

Was this ever resolved?

I will use WILDVALUE for now, but is there a better way?
