Clear an alert with a NaN value | Archive

I recently wrote a datasource that pulled an API and alerted when the return value was greater than 0 The problem I ran into is the API never returned a 0, instead it would return NaN. I worked around this issue by using Key = Value datapoints and a "if (strv.isEmpty) {" statement. Basically, if their is a value returned the output in the script will be "events=[returned value]" the same as most key=value datapoints. If the returned value is empty, the script will fill out the entire string returning "events=0" which puts a 0 in the datapoint and allows the alert to clear. This a nice workaround for a LogicMonitor Admin's bag of tricks. <span class="pln">//Print KeyValue strv = response_obj['results']['2']; if ( strv.isEmpty() ) { println "events=0" } else { println "events=" + strv; } return(0);</span>
