XpoLog help - Tasks View 
 

XpoLog's tasks are units of operation that are used in combination with XpoLog's scheduling mechanism. You use tasks in order for certain operations to take place at given times and optionally on given system states (operation jobs and monitor job, see 'Scheduling').


Defining Operation Tasks


From the 'Automation' menu select 'Tasks'.

  XpoLog Tasks:

  • Execute - XpoLog will execute a script or a program according to the configuration - name of the program or script, arguments, environment variables and working directory.
  • Remote SSH command - XpoLog will open ssh connection to a remote machine and will execute a command or set of commands.
  • URL - a URL will be opened with the requested information data as parameters in the URL, method GET.
  • Email - an email will be sent to the configured addresses with the requested content.
  • Export Folder - XpoLog will export the selected logs and their configuration files and will send the exported data in a given fashion (email, ssh, ftp or file system).
  • JMS Message - Sending JMS message.
  • SNMP trap - Generating SNMP trap.
  • General Report - XpoLog will execute a report that is defined in the system (the report can be General Aggregation report or Transaction report if TxExpo is enabled)

  TxExpo Tasks:

  • Transaction execution - TxExpo will create a result set for workspaces and projects that the user will define.

Click the 'Add new Task' link and select the type of the operation you want to define. If only tasks of certain type are displayed ('View from from type' is not set to 'All') you will be directed to the configuration page of the selected task type. Enter the name and an optional description of the tasks you are defining and enter configuration data according to the task type. Save the task definition.
