Can we run commands remotely using Prognosis?

[GeraldC1 · Accepted solution]

Yes we can. The Prognosis Client for Windows has a Commands feature. 

Here's more details about it in Online Help, and a short video showing a few examples:

https://help.prognosis.com/server/121/system-functions/commands

<script type="text/javascript" async src="https://play.vidyard.com/embed/v4.js"></script>

Steps in this video:

1. Login into the Prognosis Client connected to the managing node server. This will have a view of all the managed servers. We can then drag commands onto any Prognosis server in our environment.

2. Right client in Document Navigator and select New > Command

3. Fill in a name,  the command, and save it.

4. Drag the command onto a Prognosis server. 

Examples in the video:

• Checking what ciphers are enabled on Windows
  

  powershell -command "get-tlsciphersuite" | findstr ^Name

• Checking for port exhaustion on Windows
  

  powershell -command "Get-NetTCPConnection | Group-Object -Property State, OwningProcess | Select -Property Count, Name, @{Name=\"ProcessName\";Expression={(Get-Process -PID ($_.Name.Split(',')[-1].Trim(' '))).Name}} | Sort Count -Descending | select -First 10"

• Tailing a log file.
  

  powershell -command "gc -wait -tail 10 \"E:\Prognosis\Server\Configuration\Messaging\RabbitMQ\log\rabbit~1.log\""
