Oracle-defined OS Command Scripts

Oracle Log Analytics provides the following Oracle-defined scripts for OS command log collection. These scripts are available in a dedicated folder under Oracle Log Analytics plug-in folder on your agent host. They're stored in this location when Oracle Log Analytics plug-in is deployed on the Management Agent.

The below Oracle-defined scripts are already included in the corresponding Oracle-defined source of the type OS Command. So, in the workflow defined for OS command based log collection, associate your entity with this Oracle-defined source to run this OS command script and collect the resulting output as logs. You may duplicate and customize the Oracle-defined source, if required. See Set Up OS Command Collection.
