Is there a way to run an executable file on a set path from a workflow action?

[derick_hewetson]

I am trying to find a way to run an executable file on a remote host using a workflow action. I don't see any existing options on the Hub. Has anyone tried something like this?

I suppose it is theoretically possible, but would require a connection to the target system, as well as credentials with permission to execute the target file.

Any suggestions on how to go about this?

Afaik there is nothing available out of box. Dynatrace does not allow you to run executables anywhere directly, except for Extensions but it cannot be trigger there. My approach in your case would be to have a rest-to-cmd Daemon a call the rest endpoint from workflow, typically through edge connect.

That would be my approach too
