Run scripts

After you create a Cloud Assistant script, you can run it on one or more instances. The script running status and results of one instance do not affect those of other instances.

1. Log on to the ECS console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Maintenance & Monitoring > Cloud Assistant.
3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.
4. Find the script that you want to run and click Create Task in the Actions column.
5. In the Create Task pane, configure required parameters.
   1. Optional: Click View to check the script content.
      If the script content is not correct, you can re-create the script before running it.
   2. Click Select instance. In the dialog box that appears:
      1. Select one or more instances.
      2. Click the icon to select them.

         You can select only Windows instances for batch or PowerShell scripts and select only Linux instances for Shell scripts. Furthermore, all instances must have the Cloud Assistant client installed. Otherwise, the instance cannot be selected even after you click the icon.

      3. Click OK.
   3. In the Parameters field, enter the values of the custom parameters specified in the script. There are no data type restrictions for custom parameters. If the current API call does not require values for the custom parameters, you can enter empty strings.
      Note If you do not select Use Parameters when you create the script, the Parameters field is not be displayed.
6. Click Create Task.
