previous_action_suspended()

Purpose

previous_action_suspended()

This boolenan function returns 1 (true) if the previous action is suspended, 0 (false) otherwise. It can be used to initiate action that shall happen if a function failed. Please note that an action failure may not be immediately detected, so the function return value is a bit fuzzy. It is guaranteed, however that a suspension will be detected with the next batch of messages that is being processed.

Example

In the following example the if-clause is executed if the previous action is suspended.

action(type="omfwd" protocol="tcp" target="10.1.1.1")

if previous_action_suspended() then {}
