Built-In Variables

Built-In Variables

Overview

Built-in variables are maintained by Universal Controller and provide information about task instances, agents, Universal Message Service {OMS}, and cluster nodes. They can be used in free text fields in triggers, tasks, task actions, and email notifications for agents, OMS servers, and cluster nodes.

Supported built-in variables and their descriptions are provided below. All built-in variables are prefixed with ops_.

Syntax

${ops_agent_hostname}

Agent IP Address

Description

Resolves to the agent IP address {see ${ops_agent_ip}, below.

Syntax

${ops_agent_ipaddr}

Agent IP Address

Description

Resolves to the agent IP address.

Syntax

${ops_agent_ip}

Agent Mode

Description

Resolves to the agent operational mode {Active, Offline}.

Syntax

${ops_agent_mode}

Agent-Based Task Instance Variables

The following variables can be used to pass agent information into agent-based task notifications; see Creating Email Notifications and Creating SNMP Notifications.
