Execute system commands via workflows

Hi,

Is it feasible to execute a system command against an affected host entity using workflow automation?

Regards,

I believe the suggested path to making things like automated remediation happen from a workflow is to invoke an orchestration/automation tool outside of Dynatrace via one of the connectors or the HTTP request action.

Thanks for your response.

I wish just like oneagent remote config feature to edit host groups, network zone, tags etc. it would also be nice to have a functionality added to execute system commands.

Not every client is willing to integrate Dynatrace with orchestration tools.
