Adding an Option to the Menu Configuration Menu

NOTE: If you renamed a tag, such as renaming CustomerVar24 to PolicyName, you must use the new name when setting parameters.

To add an option to the Menu Configuration menu:

  1. Click Admin tab.

  2. In the Admin Navigator, click Admin > Menu Configuration.

  3. Click Add.

  4. In the Menu Configuration dialog box, enter:

§   Use browser: If you chose the Action "Execute Command" and your Browser settings are setup to "Use External Browser" (For more information, see "Editing Your Menu Configuration Browser Settings" for editing Browser settings), you have the option to select Use browser. Selecting this option will cause the output of your command to be displayed using the Menu Configuration Browser settings for your Sentinel Control Center.

§   File Type: If you chose the Action "Execute Command", your Browser settings are setup to "Use External Browser", and you selected the option "Use browser", you have the option of setting the File Type for the output of this command.

§   Command /URL

NOTE: For UNIX, the script/application must be located in the $ESEC_HOME/config/exec directory. For any script or application only enter the command. Any path entered will be ignored.

NOTE: For Windows (Correlation), the script/application must be located in one of the directories listed in your Windows Environmental Variables. Any path entered will be ignored.

For Windows (non-Correlation), entering a path is optional. Entering a command without a path will default to %ESEC_HOME%\ bin and all other paths specified in your environmental variables.

Note: For a list of available tags you can use when specifying parameters, click Help on the Menu Configuration dialog box or see Sentinel Meta-tags in Sentinel 6.0 User Reference Guide.

  1. Click OK. The new option is added to the list of menu items in the Menu Configuration window.

For an example, highlight any of the default menu items and click Details. The following is an nslookup configuration.
