It's my understanding that RTIR's module will snarf up all IP addresses and
that isn't exactly what I was wanting to do. I may be going about this in a
weird way and I'm absolutely doing something with less resistance.
Users are filling out a form that is emailed into RT for staging new systems,
and it would be advantageous for us to collect all the IP addresses on all
interfaces at that time instead of one, which historically is the management IP
address collected via scrip as X-IP. We have a scrip that gathers up that and
several other values in one go, and then inserts that into custom fields. The
reason that I'd like to avoid the RTIR approach is that those requests can have
IP addresses in them for host ip filters or firewall policies.
I don't know how "normal multi-value" CFs behave, our other CFs are just
one-value. The RT cli is perfectly capable of handling multiple values for my
new IP-addresses CF, and I cannot seem to have more than one X-IP-addresses
match per reply/comment. It picks up the first and then ignores the rest.
i.e.
X-IP-addresses: 127.0.0.1
X-IP-addresses: 127.0.0.2
X-IP-addresses: 127.0.0.3
would result in only `X-IP-addresses: 127.0.0.1` getting picked up.
I'm not at all opposed to being told I'm doing this in a dumb way. If adopting
the logic in RTIR's module into a scrip for RT so that it only picks up
addresses I tag with X-$CFNAME is the best way, I would appreciate any tips or
suggestions to prime the pump, I am not confidant I'm approaching this right or
understanding the recommendation.
thank you!
