Automated Tasks
Automated Tasks are supported from Windows Agent 8.1, Mac Agent 2.3.0 and Linux Agent 2.
Automated Tasks enable you to run custom scripts and preventative maintenance tasks, such as defragmenting disks or removing temporary files. They can be run on individual or multiple servers and workstations, on a schedule or when a check fails.
You can monitor the progress of each task and view results in the All Devices view.
Use the System Automated Tasks or add your own custom scripts to the Script Manager to use as Automated Tasks on Windows, macOS and Linux devices.
You can also manage Automated Tasks using Monitoring templates.
The following sections cover:
- System Automated Tasks
- View Automated Tasks and their results
- Temporarily Disable and Re-enable Automated Tasks
- Run Automated Tasks on demand
- Wall Chart - Show Automated Task Problems
To manage Automated Tasks, log into N-sight RMM as a user with enhanced permissions (Access Key, Superuser...) or a login with the required Automated Tasks permissions enabled.
Run an Automated Task when a Check fails
Set up Automated Tasks to run when a check fails by configuring the task or a check settings. For example, you can run a Clean All Temp Files task automatically when the Disk Space Check fails. For more information, see Run an Automated Task when a check fails.
In addition to the script failure condition, an Automated Task also fails where the targeted component is not present on the device. For example, running a defrag task for drive X: where the device only has a C: and D: drive.
