Commands

Note

Before you proceed, make sure that you have installed the the Obcerv Commands app. See Install the Commands app.

The Commands app enables additional command functions in the Entity Viewer app. From the Entity Viewer > Commands page, you can conveniently view the status of queued and running commands as well as access the command history and rerun commands from the list.

Endpoints from an API which is not publicly exposed and only internally accessible to Obcerv also allow you to:

• Clear completed, failed, and cancelled commands
• Clear a single command execution history
• Subscribe to the output of a single command
