ScienceLogic Command API is one of 80 APIs that [ScienceLogic](https://apis.io/providers/sciencelogic/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Command. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, an API reference, and API documentation.

Skylar Compliance allows you to send a CLI command to a device or group of devices and capture the output of the command. This is a very convenient tool to perform a task concurrently on a group of devices, such as changing the administrator password. ### Using variables Commands can be parameterised for different devices, using the format `$parameter$`, where `$` is the Variable Delimiter you've set for your Command. For instance, to change the admin password for a number of ScreenOS devices, select the devices and enter the command: ``` set admin password $password$ ``` When running a parameterised command against devices, you have to pass a replacement value for each device. **Note:** A parameter can only consist of letters, numbers, and the underscore character `_`. If the replacement string contains escape sequences (such as `\n`), they must be double-escaped (`\\n`). ### Lua Functions Inputs Lua Functions commands support parameterized inputs that are passed to the function. Each input can have: - **Source: text** - Hardcoded value when creating the command - **Source: prompt** - User is prompted to enter value when running the command - **Source: csv** - Values are imported from a CSV file Inputs can be marked as `Secret` to hide values in outputs and transcripts.
