Hi,
When at the command prompt I type in
:log info [/ip address get 0 address]
and a log entry with the ip address of item 0 appears in the log as I wish.
But when I create a scheduled task to do this every 5 minutes, it does not work. I get an empty log entry. From what I can tell, it is not executing the nested get command. Please help with the proper syntax.
/system scheduler add name=checking-in interval=5m on-event={:log info [/ip address get 0 address]} disabled=no
You cannot use the “0” to identify the entry you want. This only works on the console, if you have done a “print” of these values before.
In scripts you have to use the find command. What you “find” for depends on your application. I suppose you would like to get the ip address of an interface. This could be something like
:log info [/ip address get [/ip address find interface=pppoe-out1] address]
to log the ip address of interface “pppoe-out1”.
Best regards,

That makes sense. Thank you.
