Actions: Execute a Launch Action (showMenuItem)

The showMenuItem command launches a Menu Item that has been configured as a Launch Action in NNMi. (See Configure Launch Actions for information about creating a Launch Action.)

To execute a Launch Action requesting something from NNMi:

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd=showMenuItem&key=<MenuItemKey>[&nodename=<hostname or IP_address>

Note If the NNMi Web server uses the https protocol, use https instead of http.

<serverName> = the fully-qualified domain name of the NNMi management server (values allowed here are determined by the Enable URL Redirect setting in User Interface Configuration, see Configure the NNMi User Interface)

<portNumber> = the NNMi HTTP port number

For a quick-reference list of all URL choices for launching NNMi, see HelpDocumentation LibraryIntegrate NNMi Elsewhere with URLs. The Integrate NNMi Elsewhere with URLs page also contains a link to a list of sample URLs that you can copy/paste as a starting point.

To execute a Launch Action requesting a script, application, or tool from your environment (not NNMi):

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/<application>?<yourURLparameter1>=${<attribute>}&<yourURLparameter2>=${<attribute>}

Note To extend the NNMi environment with additional applications, you must deploy them into a separate web-server or application-server on the same or different physical server from where the NNMi web-server or application-server is installed. See the Network Node Manager Developer Toolkit for more information.

<serverName> = the appropriate fully-qualified domain name

<portNumber> = the appropriate port number

 

Tip After you specify a case-sensitive Hostname, the real-time results of the Launch Action appear.
