Execute command via SSH2

The SSH2 action executes a command on a SSH2 server. Optionally the action can be configured to use the telnet protocol instead.

Parameters

  • Host name - Host name or IP number. Leave blank to use the address of the object.
  • Logon account - Account to use when executing the action. Selecting an account is mandatory for this action. Account credentials are sent to the remote sever to perform the logon.
  • Command - Command to execute. The following formatting variables can be included when specifying a command.
    • %object_name - object name
    • %monitor_name - monitor name
    • %object_destination - object address
  • Port - Port number that SSH2 server is listening on.
  • Use telnet - Check this option to use the telnet protocol instead of the SSH2 protocol. Ensure the telnet parameters are correctly configured in the program settings page.

Warning: Remember that telnet is not encrypted and the username/password is sent in clear text.
