Execute Maintenance Tasks Remotely, Securely, and Efficiently from a Single Platform
Routine operational tasks often require administrators to connect to multiple servers, run scripts manually, and coordinate maintenance activities across complex environments. This process can be time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to track.
AimBetter Custom Actions simplifies and accelerates these operations by enabling authorized users to execute predefined scripts, commands, and tools directly from the AimBetter web application across one or multiple monitored servers.
With Custom Actions, IT teams can transform repetitive manual procedures into controlled, one-click operational workflows, improving response time, reducing operational overhead, and increasing consistency across the infrastructure.
=> Available from AimBetter Agent version 3.4.8.0 and later.
Streamline Manual Procedures with Predefined Actions
Many operational tasks follow the same pattern: identify an issue, connect to the affected server, locate the required script or tool, execute it, and verify the result.
Custom Actions eliminate these manual steps by allowing administrators to prepare approved actions in advance and make them available directly from the AimBetter interface.
Examples of use cases include:
- Restarting application components or services
- Running maintenance scripts
- Executing cleanup or troubleshooting procedures
- Applying operational fixes during incident response
- Running database administration utilities
- Automating repetitive system management tasks
By bringing these actions closer to the monitoring workflow, teams can move faster from problem detection to resolution.
Supported Platforms
AimBetter Custom Actions supports multiple technology environments, allowing organizations to standardize operational procedures across their infrastructure. Supported platforms include:
- Windows
- Linux
- SQL Server
- Oracle
Administrators define which actions are available, where they can run, and which servers are eligible for execution.
For general requirements and configuration, check the Custom Actions documentation.
Controlled Automation with Enterprise-Level Security
Automation must be powerful while remaining secure. Custom Actions is designed with controlled execution and user verification mechanisms.
To prevent unauthorized execution, every remote action follows AimBetter’s secure responsive action flow:
- The user selects the required action.
- A confirmation request is displayed.
- An OTP verification code is required.
- The action is executed using the configured AimBetter Agent user permissions.
- The execution result is displayed immediately.
This ensures that operational automation remains governed and traceable.
Every Custom Action execution is recorded, including: Execution time, Action name, Execution status, Success or failure result
The latest execution details are available directly in the Latest Actions window, providing administrators with an audit trail of remote operations.
Improve Operational Efficiency
Custom Actions extends AimBetter beyond monitoring and alerting by enabling teams to take immediate action from the same platform where issues are detected.
Instead of switching between multiple tools, remote sessions, and scripts, administrators can respond faster to incidents, reduce repetitive manual work, standardize troubleshooting procedures, minimize human error, and improve operational consistency
With AimBetter Custom Actions, monitoring becomes actionable, helping IT teams resolve problems faster and manage complex environments more efficiently.
