Customers can and use ASL scripts to perform functions and extract, enrich data from the events in Vmware Smart Assurance
How can I test that my Smarts ASL script has the correct syntax?
The Smarts sm_adapter --verify [filename.asl] will generate errors if any of the rules within the customized Smarts ASL file have faulty syntax. The errors generated will be similar to the following (see Note statement):
ASL-E-ERROR_RULE_INIT-While initializing rule set
ASL-ERROR_FILE_PARSE-While parsing rules in file
'C:\InCharge7\IP\smarts\rules\discovery\custom\custom-end-post.asl'
ASL-ERROR_YACC_ERROR-syntax error at line 38, next token is 'xxxx'
Please note: VMware does not support creating or customizing ASL scripts. Please contact your VMware Account Manager engage Professional Services engagement.
