Adding steps to task sections of scripts

Adding steps to task sections of scripts

You can add steps to scripts in the Scripting component.

The following tables detail the steps that can be added to the task sections of scripts. Task sections are available on the Script Detail page when you add a task. See Adding and editing scripts.

The column headings V, OS, R, ORS, and ORF indicate whether a particular step is available in the corresponding task sections: Verify, On Success, Remediation, On Remediation Success, and On Remediation Failure.

LDAP variables

LDAP variables

The appliance supports variables for use in LDAP Labels and database queries.

Device or machine variables

Device or machine variables can be used in LDAP Labels and queries to automatically group devices by name, description, and other LDAP criteria. During LDAP Label processing, the appliance replaces all KBOX_ defined variables with their respective runtime values. The following table shows supported device or machine variables and their mapping to columns in the MACHINE database table and LDAP attributes.

The KBOX_CUSTOM_INVENTORY_* variable can be used to check a custom inventory value. The * is replaced with the Display Name of the custom inventory rule. Allowed characters are [a-z0-9.-]. Any other characters are replaced with an underscore (_).

User variables

User variables can be used in LDAP Labels and queries to automatically group users by domain, location, budget code, or other LDAP criteria. During LDAP Label processing, the appliance replaces all KBOX_ defined variables with their respective runtime values. The following table shows supported user variables and their mapping to columns in the USER database table and LDAP attributes.

The Administrator Console is the web-based interface used to control the appliance. To access the Administrator Console, go to http://<appliance_hostname>/admin where <appliance_hostname> is the hostname of your appliance. If the Organization component is enabled, you can access the System-level settings of the Administrator Console at http://<appliance_hostname>/system. To view the full path of URLs in the Administrator Console, which can be useful when searching the database or sharing links, add ui to the URL you use to log in. For example: http://<appliance_hostname>/admin.

Monitoring alerts are messages that are generated on supported server devices and sent to the appliance to alert staff about errors and issues being reported in the event and system logs of the devices. See Monitoring devices.

Appliance linking enables you to log in to one appliance and access all linked appliances from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the Administrator Console, without having to log in to each appliance separately. You can link all of the Quest K-Series appliances you manage. See Linking Quest KACE appliances.
