Example usage

In this example, the Exec Probe is used to connect to a Telnet server to receive an event stream.

Set the following properties in the exec.props file:

ExecCommand   : 'telnet sol10-build2 8001'
Footer        : 'END JOB'
Header        : 'CNK1'
ParseAsLines  : 1

These properties specify that the probe reads events from port 8001 of the Telnet server sol10-build2, treats the text CNK1 as the start of an event and the text END JOB as the end of an event, and treats each line in the event as a separate token.

If the probe receives the following event stream from the Telnet server:

CNK1/721TESI001D/CTYCBZ1V1332-P37/013                 99-12-21  18:29:08
7898                                  3073/03999 ARCHIV.CPSPT-10035

CCS7 - BLOCKED TRUNKS 
 
SPC            NETIND  USNAME  FIRST CIC  LAST CIC  NUM OF TRUNKS 
--------------+-------+-------+----------+---------+------------- 
 4-4- 8-0      NAT1    ISUP      4- 1       4-31    31   
END JOB 7898

It creates the following tokens:

Header:    CNK1/721TESI001D/CTYCBZ1V1332-P37/013            99-12-21  18:29:08

Token1:    
Token2:    CCS7 - BLOCKED TRUNKS 
Token3:     
Token4:    SPC            NETIND  USNAME  FIRST CIC  LAST CIC  NUM OF TRUNKS 
Token5:    --------------+-------+-------+----------+---------+------------- 
Token6:     4-4- 8-0      NAT1    ISUP      4- 1       4-31    31
