12: Scripts This chapter describes how to use Scripts to automate tasks performed on the EMG CLI or on device ports. EMG supports the following types of scripts:  Interface Scripts which use a subset of the Expect/Tcl scripting language to perform pattern detection and action generation on Device Port output.  Batch Scripts which are a series of CLI commands.  Custom Scripts are Expect, Tcl or Python scripts which use most of the Expect/Tcl/Python scripting language, can be run against the CLI or a Device Port, and can be scheduled to run at periodic intervals, with the results from each run saved to a file in a repository. Up to 10 Custom Scripts can be created. Each Custom Script run is an operation, and the results from each operation can be viewed. Up to 50 script result files will be saved locally in the EMG storage. Once this maximum is reached and new result files are generated, the oldest result files will automatically be deleted to accommodate the new result files. A user can create scripts at the web, view scripts at the web and the CLI, and utilize (run) scripts at the CLI. For a description of the syntax allowed in the various types of scripts, see Batch Script Syntax, Interface Script Syntax and Custom Script Syntax. All scripts have permissions associated with them; a user who runs a script must have the permissions associated with the script in order to run the script. To add a script: 1. Click the Devices tab and select the Scripts option. The Scripts page displays. Figure 12-1 Devices > Scripts EMG™ Edge Management Gateway User Guide 250
