Global functions

These functions are globally available in assign/ignore where expressions, functions, API filters and the Icinga 2 debug console.

You can use the Icinga 2 debug console as a sandbox to test these functions before implementing them in your scenarios.

regex

Signature:

function regex(pattern, value, mode)

Returns true if the regular expression pattern matches the value, false otherwise. The value can be of the type String or Array (which contains string elements).

The mode argument is optional and can be either MatchAll (in which case all elements for an array have to match) or MatchAny (in which case at least one element has to match). The default mode is MatchAll.

Tip: In case you are looking for regular expression tests try regex101.

Example for string values:

$ icinga2 console
Icinga 2 (version: v2.7.0)
<1> => host.vars.os_type = "Linux/Unix"
null
<2> => regex("^Linux", host.vars.os_type)
true
<3> => regex("^Linux$", host.vars.os_type)
false

Example for an array of string values:

$ icinga2 console
Icinga 2 (version: v2.7.0)
<1> => host.vars.databases = [ "db-prod1", "db-prod2", "db-dev" ]
null
<2> => regex("^db-prod\\d+", host.vars.databases, MatchAny)
true
<3> => regex("^db-prod\\d+", host.vars.databases, MatchAll)
false

match

Signature:

function match(pattern, text, mode)

Returns true if the wildcard (?*) pattern matches the value, false otherwise. The value can be of the type String or Array (which contains string elements).

Example for string values:

$ icinga2 console
Icinga 2 (version: v2.7.0)
<1> => var name = "db-prod-sfo-657"
null
<2> => match("*prod-sfo*", name)
true
<3> => match("*-dev-*", name)
false

Example for an array of string values:

$ icinga2 console
Icinga 2 (version: v2.7.0-28)
<1> => host.vars.application_types = [ "web-wp", "web-rt", "db-local" ]
null
<2> => match("web-*", host.vars.application_types, MatchAll)
false
<3> => match("web-*", host.vars.application_types, MatchAny)
true

cidr_match

Signature:

function cidr_match(pattern, ip, mode)

Returns true if the CIDR pattern matches the IP address, false otherwise.

IPv4 addresses are converted to IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses before being matched against the pattern. The mode argument is optional and can be either MatchAll (in which case all elements for an array have to match) or MatchAny (in which case at least one element has to match). The default mode is MatchAll.

Example for a single IP address:

$ icinga2 console
Icinga 2 (version: v2.7.0)
<1> => host.address = "192.168.56.101"
null
<2> => cidr_match("192.168.56.0/24", host.address)
true
<3> => cidr_match("192.168.56.0/26", host.address)
false

Example for an array of IP addresses:

$ icinga2 console
Icinga 2 (version: v2.7.0)
<1> => host.vars.vhost_ips = [ "192.168.56.101", "192.168.56.102", "10.0.10.99" ]
null
<2> => cidr_match("192.168.56.0/24", host.vars.vhost_ips, MatchAll)
false
<3> => cidr_match("192.168.56.0/24", host.vars.vhost_ips, MatchAny)
true

range

Signature:

function range(end)
function range(start, end)
function range(start, end, increment)

If you specify the start and end numbers, the returned array number are incremented by 1. They start at the specified start number and stop before the end number. Optionally you can specify the incremented step between numbers as third parameter.

Example:

$ icinga2 console
Icinga 2 (version: v2.7.0)
<1> => range(5)
[ 0.000000, 1.000000, 2.000000, 3.000000, 4.000000 ]

Signature:

function remove(key);

Removes the item with the specified key. Trying to remove an item which does not exist is a no-op.

Dictionary#set

Signature:

function set(key, value);

Creates or updates an item with the specified key and value.

Dictionary#get

Signature:

function get(key);

Retrieves the value for the specified key. Returns null if they key does not exist in the dictionary.

Dictionary#keys

Signature:

function keys();

Returns a list of keys for all items that are currently in the dictionary.

Dictionary#values

Signature:

function values();

Returns a list of values for all items that are currently in the dictionary.

Function type

Inherits methods from the Object type.

Function#call

Signature:

function call(thisArg, ...);

Invokes the function using an alternative this scope. The thisArg argument specifies the this scope for the function. All other arguments are passed directly to the function.

Example:

function set_x(val) {
  this.x = val
}

dict = {}

set_x.call(dict, 7) /* Invokes set_x using `dict` as `this` */

Function#callv

Signature:

function callv(thisArg, args);

Invokes the function using an alternative this scope. The thisArg argument specifies the this scope for the function. The items in the args array are passed to the function as individual arguments.

Example:

function set_x(val) {
  this.x = val
}

var dict = {}

var args = [ 7 ]

set_x.callv(dict, args) /* Invokes set_x using `dict` as `this` */

DateTime type

Inherits methods from the Object type.

DateTime constructor

Signature:

function DateTime()
function DateTime(unixTimestamp)
function DateTime(year, month, day)
function DateTime(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds)

Constructs a new DateTime object. When no arguments are specified for the constructor a new DateTime object representing the current time is created.

Example:

var d1 = DateTime() /* current time */
var d2 = DateTime(2016, 5, 21) /* midnight April 21st, 2016 (local time) */

DateTime arithmetic

Subtracting two DateTime objects yields the interval between them, in seconds.

Example:

var delta = DateTime() - DateTime(2016, 5, 21) /* seconds since midnight April 21st, 2016 */

Subtracting a number from a DateTime object yields a new DateTime object that is further in the past:

Example:

var dt = DateTime() - 2 * 60 * 60 /* Current time minus 2 hours */

Adding a number to a DateTime object yields a new DateTime object that is in the future:

Example:

var dt = DateTime() + 24 * 60 60 /* Current time plus 24 hours */

DateTime#format

Signature:

function format(fmt)

Returns a string representation for the DateTime object using the specified format string. The format string may contain format conversion placeholders as specified in strftime(3).

Example:

var s = DateTime(2016, 4, 21).format("%A") /* Sets s to "Thursday". */

DateTime#to_string

Signature:

function to_string()

Returns a string representation for the DateTime object. Uses a suitable default format.

Example:

var s = DateTime(2016, 4, 21).to_string() /* Sets s to "2016-04-21 00:00:00 +0200". */
