Run SSH Command Operator

The Run SSH Command operator is designed for use with targets such as network devices or other non-server devices.

For executing on remote servers using SSH, it can be simpler to use the proxy touchpoint or host group concepts.

Note: This operator does not require the user to specify the login sequence.

The Run SSH Command operator takes the following actions:

• Opens an SSH connection to the remote host.
• Sends one command at a time.
• Reads the output of the command until it sees the prompt to indicate that the command is completed.
• Sends the next command.

You can set the maximum amount of time to wait for the prompt before failing the operator. Verify that this setting is greater than the execution time of the longest command that this operator can execute.

You can set this operator to switch to a different user (including root) after login and before executing the commands. Switching users allows the commands to be executed under a different user. Switching to a different user is done interactively.
