Install Automation Manager


note

Note

The ESET download package is correct despite some filenames or paths that may still refer to the old plugin name (SolarWinds N-central) instead of N-able N-central due to the ongoing re-branding campaign.

The plugin consists of one bash script that enables you to create: Install, Uninstall, Activate, Deactivate, Upgrade, Update, Scan and Monitor tasks.

ESET provides to download of a bundle of tasks and monitors scripts in the form of a .zip file containing .amp or .sh files, a changelog, an end-user license agreement (EULA) and the user guide.

Unpack the bundle to upload the various .amp or .sh scripts to N-able N-central.

Scripts with names that start with "ESET Task - " allow you to perform tasks (jobs) on the endpoint.

Scripts with names that start with "ESET Mon - " are used for Monitors.

They are executed on a recurring basis, and return PASS/FAIL statuses. They can be associated to endpoints and/or combined into service templates (in which case corrective actions can be attempted in case of failure - “self-healing”)
