Custom ConfigSource Issues

I am having to write a custom configsource for Steelhead Riverbeds. There isn't a way to sftp a file off so I am having to write an expect script in groovy. I am trying to cobble together something using the Cisco Generic RunningConfig as a stepping stone, but I just can't get it off the ground. If I run it via the ConfigSources page with Test Script I get this.

Failed to execute the script - null

If I run it via collector debug and !groovy I get

Any help would appreciated.

Oh yeah the formatting of the cli.

Quote

servername >
servername > enable
servername # show configuration
##
## Other IP configuration
##

 

And what I have so far. 

import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.expect.Expect;

host = hostProps.get("system.hostname");
user = hostProps.get("config.user");
pass = hostProps.get("config.pass");

// open an ssh connection and wait for the prompt
cli=Expect.open(host, user, pass);
cli.expect("#");

// ensure the page-by-page view doesn't foul the config output
cli.send("terminal length 0\n");
cli.expect("#");

// display the config
cli.send("show configuration\n");
cli.expect("##\n")

// logout from the device
cli.send("exit\n");
cli.expect("#exit");

// collect the output
config=cli.before();

// close the ssh connection handle then print the config
cli.expectClose();
println config;

And now what I have so far

    And of course I kept plugging away and go it. It isn't pretty but it works. 

    // import the logicmonitor expect helper class
import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.expect.Expect;

// get the hostname and credentials from the device property table
hostname = hostProps.get("system.hostname");
userid = hostProps.get("config.user");
passwd = hostProps.get("config.pass");

// initiate an ssh connection to the host using the provided credentials
ssh_connection = Expect.open(hostname, userid, passwd);

// wait for the cli prompt, which indicates we've connected
ssh_connection.expect("> ");

// send a command to show the tomcat log file size, along with the newline [enter] character
ssh_connection.send("enable\n");

// wait for the cli prompt to return, which indicates the command has completed
ssh_connection.expect("# ");

ssh_connection.send("terminal length 0\n");
ssh_connection.expect("# ");

// capture all the text up to the expected string. this should look something like
ssh_connection.send("show configuration\n");
ssh_connection.expect(" # ");
cmd_output = ssh_connection.before();

// now that we've capture the data we care about lets exit from the cli
ssh_connection.send("exit\n");

// wait until the external process finishes then close the connection
ssh_connection.expectClose();

println cmd_output;
