Problem setting up Custom Script Alert in Event Log Analyzer

Problem setting up Custom Script Alert in Event Log Analyzer

I am trying to use the "Execute Custom Scripts" feature of event log analyzer when a particular alert is generated.  I am having a multitude of problems.

First, I created a very simple shell script that echos the arguments provided to the script into a simple text file.  The script is below.

  1. #! /bin/sh
  2. echo $@  >>/tmp/test.log
The script gets created as expected, but the output is as follows.

  1. null, null, null
So this got me looking at the setup of the alert itself.

The arguments are the defaults -- $source, $hostname, $criticality

I tried adding or removing an argument to see if it changes anything, and thats where my second problem happened.  Every attempt I make to change the arguments, such as un-checking 'hostname' and clicking save does not actually save the change.  When I go back into the alert, the arguments are back to the defaults "$source, $hostname, $criticality".

Here's the version info for my EventLogAnalyzer ..
