Create Plug-ins

Create Plug-ins for Event Notification

Before you begin...

* The Plugin sub-function allows you to add a specific feature or service to RAIDWatch's notification methods.
The add-ins can be used to process the events received from Configuration Client and extend its functionality.

* Prepare your execution file, and place it under the plugin sub-folder under the directory where your installed RAIDWatch program. If the installation path has not been altered, the plugin folder should be as follows: Program Files -> Infortrend Inc -> RAID GUI Tools -> bin -> plugin. Place the execution file that will be implemented as a plug-in in this folder.

Step 1. Click the Create Plugin tab
Step 2. Make sure you have placed the exe file in the plugin folder as described above.
Step 3. Enter Plugin Description, Plugin Label and select an execution file from the Application Program field if there are more than one.
Step 4. Click Create to complete the process.

Step 5. Select the Plugin tab from panel. Click Create Receiver to display an input field dialog box.
Step 6. Key in the configuration string to be read when the application program starts. A configuration argument may look like this: "\plugin\userprogram.exe uid=xx model=xxx-xxx ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ctrlrName=N/A severity=1 evtStr="Evt String" recv="customized string"

The plugin capability provides advanced users the flexibility with customizing and presenting the event messages received from the Configuration Client utility.
