AD-HOC COMMANDS EXECUTION
Running a command or a script using DivineCloud is more simple & powerful than running the same command or script from a regular terminal. Additionally, with DivineCloud, users can run ad-hoc commands/scripts across 100s of servers in parallel, and can have the output streamed back in real-time.
In this section, we will get into more details about different input modes available for executing ad-hoc commands using Divine Cloud as listed below :
- Input Modes
- Nodes Selection
Input Modes
There are 3 input modes available in DivineCloud Group Terminal for executing commands:
- Single Command Input Mode
- Multi-Command Input Mode
- Script Input Mode
The command & the script input mode are already shown in the quick start guide. The figure below shows the screenshot for Multi-Cmd input mode.
Nodes Selection
Though users can select all nodes for executing the commands/scripts. For most cases, they will need to select a subset of the nodes.
In DivineCloud, There are 3 ways to filter the Nodes for selecting them for command execution:
- Filter By Node Name(s)
- Filter By Node Tag(s)
- Filter By Inventory
Users can also combine the 3 filter options, to narrow down the list further. Figure below shows the screenshot of the Node Selection panel
The next few sub-sections, provide more details around executing, cancelling, & saving ad-hoc commands & scripts.
