Scripting and Automation

vulnerability-detection

Helios lets you run automations in a variety of ways, whether using scripts, Installation Packages, or both. You can run them as scheduled tasks, ad hoc on one or more endpoints, as part of a policy or in response to a condition being triggered. This gives you total control and flexibility over how you automate repetitive or complex tasks to win back time and help standardize operations.

Create Reusable Custom 
Software Packages

Helios’s Software Package Repository lets you create custom software installation packages that bundle all the elements needed to execute even very complex software installations on one or hundreds of endpoints.

You can use the Installation Form to specify the software to be installed, add helper files like keys or configuration files, and indicate scripts that should be run pre or post-installation. You can also define whether the installation should be run by the user or system.

Once you’ve created a software installation package, you can name it and save it in the Automation Library. This will make it easy to reuse the package for future software installations.

 

Dynamic Script Forms Make Customizing Scripts Easy

With Dynamic Script Forms, you can fully customize any script by abstracting variables and parameters into an accompanying form. This means that technicians can customize the script’s behavior without having to change the script’s code. To use Dynamic Script Forms, technicians simply input the desired values into the form at run time. Dynamic Script Forms live with the script, so they can be used by anyone, even those with no scripting experience.

 

Automate Windows actions

Helios supports custom scripts in multiple languages (Powershell, Batch, Javascript, ShellScript, and VBScript) allowing you to automate almost any task across Windows and Mac operating systems. Custom parameters allow you the flexibility to create scripts once and run them using variable inputs based on your need. Every action that takes place in Helios is tracked and logged to provide a reliable record for compliance purposes.
