Troubleshooting Data Writes to Device Events in ControlUp

A user asked why their output was going to Device Events despite the configuration being set to write to an index. After a troubleshoot, they fixed the issue by using the standard “`Write-Output("### SIP DATA BEGINS ###") $output | ConvertTo-Json Write-Output("### SIP DATA ENDS ###")“` instead of their earlier code.

Good day

Hope all are well

Happy Wacky Wednesday

Why would something wright to Device Events if i tell it to write to Data Index "clear_disk_space"

Also have the send events in

Write-Output("### SIP EVENT BEGINS ###")

Write-Output ($output | ConvertTo-Json)

Write-Output("### SIP EVENT ENDS ###")

in device events:

{

"totalclearedspace": "406.56 KB",

"totalsizebeforecleared": "166.58 MB"

}

Not sure if I fully understand your question, but if you use

“`### SIP DATA BEGINS ###

SIP DATA ENDS ###“`

It will write whatever is in between those in an index, using the Data Collection settings in the left pane

If you use

“`### SIP EVENT BEGINS ###

SIP EVENT ENDS ###“`

it will write what’s in between to the Device Events

Are you seeing a different behavior?

Yes

I have my output between the Sips and i have the config set to write the output to a index , but its not , instead its going to device events

Fixed

Write-Output("### SIP DATA BEGINS ###")

Write-Output -InputObject $output | ConvertTo-Json

Write-Output("### SIP DATA ENDS ###")

That seems over-complex. Does the following not work?

“`Write-Output("### SIP DATA BEGINS ###")

$output | ConvertTo-Json

Write-Output("### SIP DATA ENDS ###")“`

(It is the standard I use)

Syntactically Write-Output -InputObject $output should be completely equivalent to $output
