Execute a script

[ssamraj]

Hi Team,

Is it possible to invoke a script located on the host at periodic intervals using DT oneagent? Preferably on AIX and Linux OS.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, no you cannot invoke a script using the OneAgent directly. But if you have a 3rd-party tool that can invoke a script, you can use the Dynatrace APIs to trigger an event to that tool to invoke a script, as an example.

You can do some tasks on machine itself using OneAgent python plugin. As long you can access something from python code you should be able to do that. As a result you have to send back to server some metric. This is not the way it should be done but it is possible.
