What is a Remote Command?
The Remote Command package is designed to run a console command and capture the resulting command exit code and standard output text with the ServicePilot Agent. This can be useful for executing scripts or commands on remote machines and capturing the results for analysis or monitoring.
By using the Remote Command package, administrators can automate routine tasks, troubleshoot issues, and monitor the status of remote systems.
Remote Command monitoring
ServicePilot makes it very easy to monitor the execution of scripts and commands on remote machines. Simply add a appmon-remote-command resource via the ServicePilot provisioning page and specifying a script file. ServicePilot will automatically upload the script to the remote machine and monitor its execution result.
For each remote command executed, the following statistics are collected:
- Exit code
- Execution time
- Number of time outs
- Command response
- Output text parsed and relevant information extracted using RegEx and stored and string and numberic indicators
