Problems with Monitor - get_template_list()

I have problems extracting template_type using Monitor-get_template_list. I have no problems extracting "template_name".

 

Should be a minor error, but being not a programmer I am stuck.

 

Has anybody an idea?

 

Source-code below.

 

Tanks in advance

/**********************************************************/

 

my $MonitorInfo = SOAP::Lite

 

-> uri('urn:iControl:LocalLB/Monitor')

 

-> proxy("$sProtocol://Host:

 

$sPort/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi");

 

eval { $MonitorInfo->transport->http_request->header

 

(

 

'Authorization' =>

 

'Basic ' . MIME::Base64::encode("$sUID:$sPWD", '')

 

); };

 

 

my $monitor_address;

 

my $soapResponse = $MonitorInfo->get_template_list();

 

&checkResponse($soapResponse);

 

my @monitor_list = @{$soapResponse->result};

 

 

my $templ_name;

 

my $templ_type;

 

my$i = 0;

 

foreach $monitor_address (@monitor_list)

 

{

 

$templ_name = $monitor_address->{"template_name"};

 

$templ_tpye = $templ_->{"template_type"};

 

 

printf("MONITOR %15s - TYPE %15s \n", $templ_name, @templ_type);

 

$i++;

 

}

 

  • Your line for getting the template type

     

     

    $templ_tpye = $templ_->{"template_type"};

     

     

    has a few problems. First, your variable has a typo (templ_tpye) and you are getting the member from a variable named (templ_) which I don't see defined in your code anywere. Changing this that line to this:

     

     

    $templ_type = $monitor_address->{"template_type"}

     

     

    should fix it for you.

     

     

    Here's some code that illustrates how to use this method:
