Short script to generate continuous random events to Netcool OMNIbus

So you need to generate some events to OMNIbus? It's really easy with the nco_postmsg shell script that's installed on your ObjectServer host:

while (true); do nco_postmsg -user root -password n3tc00l "Identifier='my_identifier_${RANDOM}'" "Node='mynode${RANDOM}'" "Severity=5" "Manager='nco_postmsg'" "Summary='An event occurred again'" "ImpactFlag=1" "AlertGroup='FRANK_${RANDOM}'"; sleep 10; echo sending another event; done

Update the user and password parameters, and you can add any fields you need. It simply generates an event every 10 seconds.
