Actions

Actions is a standard configuration interface for managing the commands that are run to collect configuration data from devices.

Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.

This user interface calls REST methods from api/config/actions.

To open this interface, from the main navigation menu, select Configuration, then Device Configuration, and then Actions.

Form Fields

• Name - Name of action profile.

• Timeout - Time to wait for all command responses.

• Actions - Details about the actions that make up the profile.

  • Command - Command to run.

  • Capture - Whether or not to capture and save output from command.

  • Prompt - Change prompt prior to running command to indicate when a command is done. (Telnet only)

Notes

• This is a RegEx string (e.g. /$prompt/) (without slashes) and special characters such as period (.) must be escaped if literal value is wanted.

• Used for supporting of special or multiple prompt types during course of actions; default prompt covers the most common device prompts. Default prompt is '/[$%#>] $/' * Prompts that are set are used for future actions until set again.

Best Practice

• Telnet command output will not contain the command that was run even if TELNET_ECHO is enabled on the device.
