SmartEvent External Script for Mail

Hi All,

I want to write custom script for sending SmartEvent alerts to Slack via mail. I cannot use default mail reaction because it send graphics as attachment and as the number of attachment is 25 which is higher than Slack application Accepts, I would like to create my own external script which will send alert in defined format. The problem is I cannot find any example or sample script in Internet which I can use as guide. It would be really helpful If someone can share sample code. Thanks in advance!

In case it helps someone else, this request was almost two years ago...

 

The following:

  • Sanitises input
  • If it managed to extract a username it calls an API
  • It then logs debug information

 

 

[Expert@checkpoint-management:0]# cat $RTDIR/bin/ext_commands/block_on_clearpass
#!/bin/bash
INPUT=$(cat);
CURL_OUTPUT='';
EVENT="${INPUT//[^a-zA-Z0-9 ().,:;+_-]}";
USERID=`echo "$EVENT" | sed -r "/user_name/ s/.*user_name: ([[:alnum:]_-]+).*/\1/"`;

[ ${#USERID} -ge 4 ] && [ ${#USERID} -le 40 ] && CURL_OUTPUT=`curl_cli -kX POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' --data '{"text":"Hello, World!"}' https://hooks.slack.com/services/RANDOMSTRINGPROVIDEDBYSLACK --fail --silent --show-error 2>&1`;

if [ ${#CURL_OUTPUT} -gt 0 ]; then
  echo -e "User: $USERID\nCurl debug data: \n$CURL_OUTPUT" >> /tmp/block_on_clearpass;
else
  echo -e "User: $USERID - Curl return code: $? - Sanitised event data:\n$EVENT" >> /tmp/block_on_clearpass;
fi

This doesn't use any email functionality because I don't have that available to test but I was able to create a basic app using the Incoming Webhooks function when building an app in Slack.

Slack will provide an example using Curl that can be used in a script on the Smartevent server.

In my case, my script is placed under /home/admin/scripts 

#!/bin/bash
curl_cli -kX POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' --data '{"text":"Hello, World!"}' https://hooks.slack.com/services/RANDOMSTRINGPROVIDEDBYSLACK

 

I then created an automatic reaction that triggers the script when called.

When triggered, it runs the curl script to post whatever message is defined in the "--data" portion of the curl command.

I'm sure there are better options available when interacting in Slack, but this was my quick effort that might provide some direction.

Hello, Thank you for provided script. However mostly I need script example which shows way of getting values from event data.
