Playlist missing features
0 vote
Hello,
I found that, for me, two relatively extremely simple (but significant) options related to significantly increased productive use of the Playlist, are missing.
1) "Run SSH"
I am surprised that there is no "Run SSH" item in the Context menu under the "Playlist" item (there are three items) or under "SSH" (none). Namely, the scenario is (probably very common) the following:
- I have an organizational structure of entries oriented with clients in focus.
- Accordingly, somewhere in the hierarchy is the SSH Shell entries belonging to the client's server.
- I expected as logical items in the Context Menu also something like "Run Playlist", where a dialog should popup with the selection of the Playlist to be executed. However, there is nothing like it (if I'm not mistaken).
P. S. - Similarly, I would expect that there is also a "Run SSH command" item in the Context Menu with a selection (multicheck) of several existing commands (dialog like from Playlist, with "Order" option).
2) Combined SSH execution
Such a dialog that appears on the "Run ..." command should have the option for additional (un)checking items and "Order", because most often the scenario is not identical, because in my case, a lot depends on the cloud provider.
FINAL
I would like to see comments and opinions from others (unless I missed something).

Hello,
Would it be possible for you to add screenshots to your request? It would help better understand what kind of workflow you would like.
We already have playlist entries you can create, and configure within them which entry they will be running. They could be all SSH entries, or a mix of SSH and other types (RDP for example). That way, you can create different playlists based on your needs. But I'm not sure that this is what you're looking for.

Hello,
I hope it will be clearer now (sorry for my bad English).

Hello,
Thank you for the video, it's very useful. I think I understand what you mean.
Your environment is the following:
- You have multiple SSH Commands
- You have playlists that contain these SSH Commands
- You have multiple SSH Shell entries
- You want to execute the playlist so that the SSH Commands are executed on the SSH Shell entries
I've replicated a simplified version of the environment, like this:
From there, you would like the workflow to be like this:
- Select one or more SSH shell entries
- Right click, "run playlist against". This would be a new button that executes the playlist against a specific selection.
- Be prompted if you would like to keep the same order for the execution of the playlist
- RDM will then execute the multiple commands in the correct order on each SSH entry selected
Am I understanding correctly?
