Is there any way to get a device's IP address using SOTI's Javascript API? When I call the below function from within the API, I get back "undefined", but getting the same info using the %HOSTNAME% macro using legacy scripting returns an IP, is there anything I'm doing wrong here?
var ip = mobicontrol.network.IpAddress.hostName;mobicontrol.log.info(""+ip);
Hi,
Which agent version are you using? The ipAddress class is available since API level 3.
Otherwise the script looks ok or try with hostAddress instead of hostName, but both return ip if no hostname on device.
I did the same test here with same result in our environment on latest agent version.
Maybe this is not supported on any device. Or the call has to be different as other network scripts work which require API level 3 as well.
I tried it with both hostAddress and hostName, same result, returns (undefined). I'm using agent 2024.0.3.1194 on all the devices I tried this on, they are all android devices with Android 11.
Hi,
Were able to test it out now on a device, add the activeNetwork property to get the ip. It will return an array with both ipv4 and ipv6 address.
Try this for ipv4 address:
var activeIP = mobicontrol.network.activeNetwork.ipAddresses;
mobicontrol.log.info("IPv4 Address: " +activeIP[1].hostAddress);
You mean to split the IP for later re-use for example?
Just look into javascript functions, you should find something there. You may take a look here: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_split.asp
Would this work? Based on what I was reading from SOTI's own docs, their ECMA implementation is limited and not all usual Javascript functions work
Yes it will work, SOTI docs say support for ECMA edition 3 and limited for ECMA edition 4 and higher.
In the link in Rafaels post you can see split() is from ECMA edition 1.
You can also test it out on an test device to see the result to be sure it works on your device and agent.
I ended up going with a much simpler solution for my problem, my original idea was to rename devices based on which of our warehouses they're in using the subnet address the devices are on, I just created an enumerator custom attribute with "warehouse IDs" that I applied per warehouse location folder in the console to achieve the same result.
