If condition is met - what values to check can I use?

[parky]

Hi,

I’m looking to schedule a backup and restart my server instance under specific conditions, I have the option to action a task “If condition is met” - but I can’t find any documentation on what variables I am supposed to use in the “Value to compare” field. For example:

IF the instance {@Uptime} is greater than 12 hours, THEN shut down, take a backup, and restart.

I would specifically like to know what options are available for the “ValueToCheck” field? Am I putting “12h” “0:12:00:00” or something else? What are valid options to use?

Many thanks.

Uptime is a string in human-readable form so it’s not really usable that way. You want to use UptimeTotalMinutes instead.

Hi Mike, thanks!

Is there a “cheat sheet” of any kind that for X variable there are Y possible outputs to check against or use? It’d be handy to know the formats I can use for all of them e.g. what are the available {@State}s to check against, is {@RamUsage} in GB or MB for example.

I did have a good look around in the Documentation but couldn’t find anything.

Not as it currently stands, but I will look at whether there’s a way to make this information visible within AMP itself.

Thanks for the information and swift responses.

In the next update, hovering your mouse over the variables gives you a description. There’s also a special “If” for the application being in a specific state that has a drop down of the states.
