Using Task Scripts

The Configuration Management Task Script Library (SETTINGS > Configuration Management > Task Script Library) displays all scripts available to be called with Run Now or called and run within Configuration Management tasks.

Task scripts sign-on as authenticated users to devices through SSH or Telnet and run command-line interface (CLI) commands on devices. These tasks can perform a number of operations, such as restoring or backing up a running or startup configuration, or changing an application password.

Configuration Management Task Script Library enables you to:

• Create and edit custom scripts you can embed in tasks.
• Run Now. Run scripts stand-alone (without a scheduled task) on a device or device group, check failure/success and run failed scripts in debugger.
• Debug. Run a script in the debugger, view credential and CLI settings, step through commands, and see log, trace, and results.
• Import and export Task Scripts.
• Use built-in scripts to backup device configuration.
