[how to] – send variables from apps via ip-notify

[Mx-BrunoA]

In the below example, we will explain how to send variables from Apps ( in this case with Vaxtor LPR) via Ip-Notify using RAW TCP/IP.

This feature is available since firmware 7.3.1 using the following workaround via Events->Action->IPNotify Profile

• enable Vaxtor App and Enable MxMessage
• copy JSON Template in Reporting section also to MxMessage Template
  
  

Note 1 : do not use $image$ in template. IP Notify will truncate the messages after around 800 bytes.
Note 2 : You can find more variables here : Vaxtor ALPR ADR - Available variables to customize MxMessages / 3rd Party reporting - MOBOTIX 7 Certified Apps / Vaxtor Apps - MOBOTIX Community

• add IP Notify profile in Admin Menu > IP Notify Profiles
  • Type: custom configuration
  • enter designated destination address and port
  • Data protocol: Raw TCP/IP
  • Data Type: Plain Text (<-- important, not JSON)
  • Message:

$(MSG.LOC.VaxALPR.custom)

• Open Setup Menu > Event Profile > Message Events

  • Adjust Dead Time and validate Filter Message Content set to No Filter
    
    

• Add new Action Group in Setup Menu > Action Groups

  • select Message: VaxALPR event
  • adjust action dead time
  • add new action and select your IP Notify profile
    
    

• Close + Store everything
