Search the scripting logs

Search the scripting logs

You can search for text strings in the scripting logs. If the organization component is enabled on your appliance, you search scripting logs for each organization separately.

When scripts run on managed devices, logs are created and uploaded to the appliance. You can search for text strings in the scripting logs, and apply labels to devices whose logs match the search text. You can then run actions on the labeled devices as needed.

1.
Go to the Search Scripting Logs page.
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Scripting, then click Search Scripting Logs.
2.
In the Search for field, enter the search criteria or text string you want to find. Text strings must be at least four characters in length. Searches with shorter text strings result in zero matches.

Use the following operators when entering search criteria:

Operator

Function

+

Use a leading plus sign to find entries that include the text.

-

Use a leading minus sign to find entries that do not include the text.

*

Use a trailing asterisk to find logs that contain words that begin with the specified characters.

"

Enclose text in double quotes to find exact matches for the phrase.

3.
Select search criteria:

Option

Description

All uploaded logs

Search all available scripting logs. If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, the search searches all logs for the selected organization.

* 
NOTE: Scripting logs are deleted during appliance upgrades. If the appliance has been upgraded, logs that were uploaded before the upgrade are no longer available.

Last uploaded logs

Search the most recent scripting logs. If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, the search searches all logs for the selected organization.

Script

Search logs related to all scripts, or search only the specified script.

Log

Search all logs, or search only the specified log.

Label

Search for logs uploaded by all devices, or search for logs uploaded by devices associated with the specified label.

4.
Click Search.
The search results display the logs and the devices that have uploaded those logs.
5.
To apply a label to the devices that are displayed, select a label in the drop-down list under the search results.

Exporting scripts

Exporting scripts

If you have multiple organizations or appliances, you can export scripts and transfer them among organizations and appliances as needed.

See About importing and exporting resources.

Using Task Chains

Using Task Chains

Add and edit Task Chains

Task Chains allow you to create a sequence of tasks to run in a specific order.

You can add one or more Patch Schedules, Scripts, File Synchronization items, and Wake-On LAN Requests to a Task Chain. Use Task Chains, for example, when you need to deploy managed installations and then run scripts on target devices. The order of tasks in a Task Chain can be easily changed, as required.

* 
NOTE: You cannot add individual Managed Installations to a Task Chain.

Each Task Chain runs against a configured set of devices, as defined in the Task Chain.

If a target device in a Task Chain is offline, you can configure the Task Chain to run when the device becomes connected. When a target device is referenced in multiple Task Chains, only one Task Chain runs against the device at a time.

The following concepts apply to device selections in a Task Chain:

•
Devices selected in a Task Chain override those set for patching schedules and scripts when they run as part of a Task Chain.
•
Devices selected in a Task Chain do not affect any Managed Installation (MI) or File Synchronization (FS) items associated with those devices. Any Inventory, MI, and FS tasks are queued for each device in the Task Chain, and any MI and FS that are configured to run on each machine are deployed.
•
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) schedules run once per Task Chain, when the first device in the Task Chain encounters the WoL Task. The WoL Task runs against the devices selected in the Task Chain.
* 
NOTE: A WoL Task should always be scheduled as a first Task in a Task Chain. This causes WoL packets to be pushed to all devices at once and the devices will wait for this task, since it is the first Task. When a WoL task is not the first task in the Task Chain, WoL packets are pushed to all devices at once regardless of the current state of the task running in the task chain.

Add and edit Task Chains

Add and edit Task Chains

A Task Chain is a collection of tasks that can run in a specific order. Use the Task Chain Detail page to add and edit Task Chains.

1.
Go to the Task Chains list page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Distribution, then click Task Chains.
2.
Do one of the following:
◦
Select Choose Action > New.
◦
Click the name of a task chain.
3.
In the Configure tab, specify the following options:

Option

Description

Enabled

Select this check box to allow this task chain to run.

Name

The name of the task chain.

Description

A brief description of the task chain.

4.
Still in the Configure tab, specify the devices on which you want the Task Chain to run.
◦
To choose devices that belong to labels, in the Configure section, under Labels, click Manage Associated Labels. In the Select Labels dialog box that appears, select one or more labels associated with the devices that you want to select. Close the dialog box.
◦
To choose devices by operating system, click Manage Operating Systems. In the Operating Systems dialog box that appears, select the OS versions in the navigation tree, as applicable.

You have an option to select OS versions by their family, product, architecture, release ID, or build version. You can choose a specific build version, or a parent node, as needed. Selecting a parent node in the tree automatically selects the associated child nodes. This behavior allows you to select any future OS versions, as devices are added or upgraded in your managed environment. For example, to select all build current and future versions associated with the Windows 10 x64 architecture, under All > Windows > Windows 10, select x64.

5.
In the Schedule tab, specify the schedule settings:

Option

Description

None

Run in combination with an event rather than on a specific date or at a specific time.

Every n hours

Run at a specified interval.

Every day/specific day at HH:MM

Run daily at a specified time, or run on a designated day of the week at a specified time.

Run on the nth of every month/specific month at HH:MM

Run on the same day every month, or a specific month, at the specified time.

Run on the nth weekday of every month/specific month at HH:MM

Run on the specific weekday of every month, or a specific month, at the specified time.

Custom

Run according to a custom schedule.

Use standard 5-field cron format (extended cron format is not supported):

* * * * *
| | | | +────────day of week (0-6)(Sun=0)
| | | +────────month (1-12)
| | +────────day of month (1-31)
| +────────hour (0-23)
+────────minute (0-59)

Use the following when specifying values:

•
Spaces ( ): Separate each field with a space.
•
Asterisks (*): Include the entire range of values in a field with an asterisk. For example, an asterisk in the hour field indicates every hour.
•
Commas (,): Separate multiple values in a field with a comma. For example, 0,6 in the day of the week field indicates Sunday and Saturday.
•
Hyphens (-): Indicate a range of values in a field with a hyphen. For example, 1-5 in the day of the week field is equivalent to 1,2,3,4,5, which indicates Monday through Friday.
•
Slashes (/): Specify the intervals at which to repeat an action with a slash. For example, */3 in the hour field is equivalent to 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21. The asterisk (*) specifies every hour, but /3 restricts this to hours divisible by 3.

Examples:

•
15 * * * * Run 15 minutes after every hour every day
•
0 22 * * * Run at 22:00 every day
•
0 0 1 1,6 * Run at 00:00 on January 1 and June 1
