How to get Insight event type in groovy automation script

Marina Veselić

Hi,

We have a lot of automation rules in Insight that use groovy scripts. They are pretty similar in regards of condititions and objects that are affected by them. So, we would like to optimize them and merge them into as few automation rules as possible. However...

There are some scripts that have some specific code related to a specific event type. For instance: Object type after moving in insight automation...  Is there a way to get InsighObjectEventType in the automation groovy script?

I know there is some data available through the Rule engine (object, objectUdateList,...), but not the event or event type. 

Cheers,
Marina

I don't think there is anything available in a groovy script that will give you this information.

I looked.

Here is a script where I tried every trick I could find to look for clues:

log.info "This.class: ${this.getClass()}"
log.info "Properties in this:\n${this.properties.collect{"$it.key = $it.value (${it.value.getClass()})"}.join('\n')}"
log.info "MetaProperties in this:\n\t${this.metaClass.properties.collect{"$it.name = $it (${it.type})"}.join('\n\t')}"
log.info "Variables in binding:\n\t${this.binding.variables.collect{"$it.key = $it.value (${it.value.getClass()})"}.join('\n\t')}"
Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace().drop(0).take(50).eachWithIndex{it,i->
    log.info "Calling class[$i]: $it.className#$it.methodName($it.lineNumber)"
}

Looking in the insight_automation.log I didn't find anything that was usable.

The best you can do is combine issue create and issue updated and then figure out the type of event it is by examining if objectUpdateList is empty (object created) or not (object updated)
