Code Examples​

Example #1 - Querying Agent Status Information
# This script will loop through each row of the dataset and grab out every value from that row and assign it to a matching variable. Those variables can then be used in some way.
results=system.eam.queryAgentStatus()
for row in range(results.rowCount):
agentName=results.getValueAt(row, "AgentName")
nodeRole=results.getValueAt(row, "NodeRole")
agentGroup=results.getValueAt(row, "AgentGroup")
lastComm=results.getValueAt(row, "LastCommunication")
isConnected=results.getValueAt(row, "IsConnected")
isRunning=results.getValueAt(row, "IsRunning")
runningState=results.getValueAt(row, "RunningState")
runningStateInt=results.getValueAt(row, "RunningStateInt")
licenseKey=results.getValueAt(row, "LicenseKey")
platformVersion=results.getValueAt(row, "Version")
# Can include some code here to use the variables in some way for each row like printing each variable to the console.
Example #2 - Querying Agent Status Information
# This script will grab status information from agents called Agent1, Agent2, Agent3, and will then place the data into a table on the same window.
results=system.eam.queryAgentStatus(agentIds=["Agent1", "Agent2", "Agent3"])
event.source.parent.getComponent('Table').data = results
