Using HTTP Server RunTime Log option as Interface

Dear Users,

On request we expanded the built in HTTP server to except some extra parameters of the log URL (i.e. http://127.0.0.1:8080/log )

  • Before we go further, please check if the HTTP Server is Enabled (Menu item: Server\HTTP Server)

  • Also the RunTime Log option must be enabled to use these extra parameters

What parameters were already available:

  • ruleid
    • Show the RunTime Log of RuleID 4
      • http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?ruleid=4
  • exe
    • Execute RuleID4
      • http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?ruleid=4&exe=4

Since v2019.1.20.0 we’ve added the following extra parameters:

  • status
    • Get the Status of RuleID 4 as HTML Status Code
      • http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?status=4
    • We are using unassigned Status codes as Rule Status (RFC7231: 227-299 Unassigned)
      • 250 = Hold Mode
      • 251 = Move Enabled
      • 252 = Copy Enabled
      • 253 = Delete Enabled
      • 254 = Move enabled, Check RunTime Log
      • 255 = Copy enabled, Check RunTime Log
      • 256 = Delete enabled, Check RunTime Log
      • 257 = Move Disabled
      • 258 = Copy Disabled
      • 259 = Delete Disabled
      • 261 = Move Running
      • 262 = Copy Running
      • 263 = Delete Running
      • 264 = Move Terminating
      • 265 = Copy Terminating
      • 266 = Delete Terminating
      • 270 = Scanning Disabled
  • report
    • Get the Report of RuleID 4
      • http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?report=4

Quite some customers use a command line tool called curl to execute a rule from an external application. This command line tool (curl) uses the built in HTTP server options/parameters we explained before.

Some examples:

  • Execute RuleID4 using curl
    • curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?ruleid=4&exe=4
  • Get Status Code of RuleID as HTML Status Code using curl
    • curl -sL -w “%{http_code}” -I “http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?status=4” -o /dev/null
  • Get Report of RuleID 4 in your browser

Please let us know if you have any questions about these new parameters. Don’t hesitate to contact us.
