Automation

Hi,

When I SSH to a device I get this message:

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Is there any Event that's triggered when this error occurs?

Thanks.

Hi rais@Darden,

You should probably get an "SSHD_LOGIN_FAILED" message, though its not specific to this error .

Is there any event that can be triggered at will e.g. at regular intervals of e.g 48 hours?

Thanks

You can use "generate_event" to create your own regularly-scheduled named event.  Then, create a policy that "does something" whenevery your event fires.  Like so:

event-options {
    generate-event {
        MY_DAILY_EVENT time-interval 86400;
    }
    policy MY_POLICY {
        events MY_DAILY_EVENT;
        then {
            event-script my-nutty-event-script.slax  {
                arguments {
                    arg1 hello;
                    arg2 world;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    event-script {
       file my-nutty-event-script.slax;
    }
}

You don't *have* to use an event script in the "then" clause.  You can use "execute-commands", "change-configuratino" etc as needed.    

Is that what you're asking ?

Yes, that's what I was asking.

Thanks.

Excellent!  Glad to help.

FWIW, you can also check out  an article I wrote about a year or so ago that mentions that technique. ("Approach 1")
