SSH Library use?

Hi All,

Someone internally has requested that we create some custom Linux/Docker service monitoring. We have the exact shell command that we need to run to get the data we’re looking to alert on. I was going to create a custom Dynamic Application that uses Python to initiate an SSH connection using our standard credential and run the command.

Question here: Does anyone have any experience using ScienceLogic’s built-in SSH python library? I searched the support site for documentation, but no luck. I also tried to open a handful of the out of the box DAs, but the actual SSH Connection is compiled in the library as far as I can tell. Otherwise my trusty Claude has recommended that I use the Paramiko library, which is also a possibility. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hi ​@Jeff_Kinny,

The recommended route is to use the Low Code Tools PowerPack to build the Dynamic App.  It’s purpose built to make connecting via SSH, running a CLI command and parsing the results easy to do without writing any code.

Thank you! Totally forgot that low-code Tools does SSH!
