Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.1 User's Guide

Execute remote commands and scripts

1. Click Application Settings > Script Execution.
2. Enter the following in the Remote Command Setting dialog box:
   1. Script name created in the remote host.
   2. IP address of the remote host server that runs the command.
   3. To log in to the remote host server:
      • Enter the user name.
      • Enter the password or a SSH key. Provide a private key for the remote script execution. To generate a private key, run the following command in the remote host:ssh -keygen -t rsa. The private key is stored in the default folder—cd /root/ .ssh/.
   4. Command that must be run on the remote host server to open a ticket. Example command: ./RCE.sh $IP $MODEL $DATE $ASSETTAG $SERVICETAG
3. Click Save.
   The command is saved. You can set and run these commands also while setting your alert policies. See Creating alert policies.

   NOTE:

   • You can run only one executable or script at a time.
   • The executable or script can be saved on a server that is not necessarily discovered or managed by OpenManage Enterprise—not necessarily discovered by OpenManage Enterprise.
   • Script can have a maximum of 1024 characters.
   • OpenManage Enterprise supports token substitution that may be helpful to the script or ticketing system. Supported tokens: $IP, $MSG, $HOSTNAME, $SEVERITY, $SERVICETAG, $RESOLUTION, $CATEGORY, $ASSETTAG, $DATE, $TIME, and $MODEL.
   • If an invalid token type is entered, the output appears blank.
