Script

Description

A module for executing scripts (Python, sh, bash, ...).

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites.

Input parameters

script_path

Full path to the script.

Name	Type	Required	Default value	Example value
script_path	string	✓		/tmp/script.py

script_arguments

Optional arguments for the script.

Name	Type	Required	Default value	Example value
script_arguments	string	✗		-arg1 example

executable

What should be used to execute the script.

Name	Type	Required	Default value	Example value
executable	string	✓		/usr/bin/python3

serialize_output

Try to parse the output of the script into serialized_output.

Name	Type	Required	Default value	Example value
serialize_output	boolean	✗	false	true

timeout

Timeout for the command (in seconds).

Name	Type	Required	Default value	Example value
timeout	integer	✗	60	30

Examples

Run Python script

Input:

module_arguments:
  script_path: /tmp/example.py
  script_arguments: -t 10.10.10.5
  executable: python3
  timeout: 30

Output:

{
  "serialized_output": {},
  "output": "script output",
  "result": "ok"
}

Troubleshooting

So far so good.

Output serialization

Automatic output serialization is an experimental feature.
It allows you to take the output and use it in other modules in the form of a serialized_output. For this to work, the command output must be a valid JSON ("some text", {"a": "b"}, ["a", "b"]).
