Task

PerleVIEW provides you with the ability to create task instances for common functions you need to perform on your devices. By creating tasks this gives you the ability to control and schedule when certain functions will be performed (example: discovering devices or deploying software).

PerleVIEW Common Tasks

zDiscovering Devices

zCollecting Statistics

zDevice Scripting

zDeploying Firmware

zBackup/Restore Device Configuration

When you install PerleVIEW, it will automatically create some “system” tasks which it needs in order to properly function. You can edit the parameters for these default tasks instances, however they cannot be deleted.
