Gateway SQL - Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

Fetch a Dynamic Data, Gateway SQL, Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

Problem Copied

Dynamic target with a value as a rule target is something that can’t be integrated.

Possible solution(s) Copied

Because a dynamic target with a value as a rule target cannot be integrated directly, we have created a workaround to achieve this.

Example Scenario:

  1. The data (192.-.0.78) should be monitored even when the row has changed.
  2. The data (192.-.0.78) should be present on either row of the outbound column. This gives us an ok severity if present and critical if not.

Here we have used this data as an example:

Geneos - Gateway SQL - Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

For us to segregate these values, we have configured the Gateway-SQL to obtain the data coming from both columns:

Geneos - Gateway SQL - Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

Following this example should give you something like this. This way, the data should still be detected even if it’s present on different rows.

Geneos - Gateway SQL - Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

Geneos - Gateway SQL - Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

Now, we will have a rule that should compare these two values. When the data is not present on the second column, it should trigger a critical severity:

Geneos - Gateway SQL - Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

Geneos - Gateway SQL - Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

As an example, here we have removed the highlighted IP on the 2nd column:

Geneos - Gateway SQL - Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

This should then trigger a critical severity given that the data is not available on the 2nd column:

Geneos - Gateway SQL - Dynamic target with a value as a rule target

To also check to see if this can be detected even with a different row:
