Geneos - Variable Scoping and Resolution

Below are scenarios using a GA4.1.0 Gateway and Netprobe.

Scenario 01

• The Sampler is defined on a Type.

• The variable variableReso is defined on the following:

  1. managedEntities > managedEntity > addTypes > type > environment

  2. managedEntities > managedEntity > environment

  3. managedEntities > managedEntity > var > name

  4. types > type > environment

  5. types > type > var > name

  6. operatingEnvironment > var                     

   

• Result: The variable used is #1 (managedEntities > managedEntity > addTypes > type > environment):

• Configuration: scenario1.xml 

Scenario 02

• The Sampler is defined on a Type.

• The variable variableReso is defined on the following:

  1. managedEntities > managedEntity > environment

  2. managedEntities > managedEntity > var > name

  3. types > type > environment

  4. types > type > var > name

  5. operatingEnvironment > var                     

   

• Result: The variable used is #4 (types > type > var > name):

• Configuration: scenario2.xml

Scenario 03

• The Sampler is defined on a Type.

• The variable variableReso is defined on the following:

  1. managedEntities > managedEntity > environment

  2. managedEntities > managedEntity > var > name

  3. types > type > environment

  4. operatingEnvironment > var                     

   

• Result: The variable used is #3 (types > type > environment):

• Configuration: scenario3.xml

Scenario 04

• The Sampler is defined on a Type.

• The variable variableReso is defined on the following:

  1. managedEntities > managedEntity > environment

  2. managedEntities > managedEntity > var > name

  3. operatingEnvironment > var                     

   

• Result: The variable used is #2 (managedEntities > managedEntity > var > name):

• Configuration: scenario4.xml

Scenario 05

• The Sampler is defined on a Type.

• The variable variableReso is defined on the following:

  1. managedEntities > managedEntity > environment

  2. operatingEnvironment > var                     

   

• Result: The variable used is #1 (managedEntities > managedEntity > environment):

• Configuration: scenario5.xml

Scenario 06

• The Sampler is defined on a Type.

• The variable variableReso is defined on the following:

  1. operatingEnvironment > var                     

   

• Result: The variable used is #1 (operatingEnvironment > var):

• Configuration: scenario6.xml

Scenario 07

• The Sampler is defined on a Managed Entity.

• The variable variableReso is defined on the following:

  1. managedEntities > managedEntity > addTypes > type > environment

  2. managedEntities > managedEntity > environment

  3. managedEntities > managedEntity > var > name

  4. types > type > environment

  5. types > type > var > name

  6. operatingEnvironment > var

• Result: The variable used is #3 (managedEntities > managedEntity > var > name):

• Configuration: scenario7.xml

Scenario 08

• The Sampler is defined on a Managed Entity.

• The variable variableReso is defined on the following:

  1. managedEntities > managedEntity > addTypes > type > environment

  2. managedEntities > managedEntity > environment

  3. types > type > environment

  4. types > type > var > name

  5. operatingEnvironment > var

• Result: The variable used is #2 (managedEntities > managedEntity > environment):

• Configuration: scenario8.xml

Scenario 09
