Schedule

The following scenario shows how to configure alarm schedules to be able to program custom actions in the system triggered by a timer. Timers can be executed periodically or just once, depending on the configuration.

Periodic Schedule

Description

In this example, a schedule is configured in DUT0 to enable and disable an alarm every minute.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set system alarm ALARM
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set system schedule SCHED alarm ALARM
set system schedule SCHED disable second 24
set system schedule SCHED enable second 19

Step 2: Run command system schedule show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

SCHED\s+(enable|disable).*left
Show output
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Schedule  State    Next                         Left      Last  Passed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SCHED     enable   Thu 2026-02-12 22:15:19 UTC  7s left   -     -
SCHED     disable  Thu 2026-02-12 22:15:24 UTC  12s left  -     -

Note

The output of the above command should show the “enable” and “disable” entries in the table with a “Left” value, since the schedule is pending.

Step 3: Run command system alarm ALARM show at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

true
Show output
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alarm  Status              Toggled               Prev-toggled  Toggle-count  Time up (%)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALARM  true    2026-02-12 22:15:19.381012+00:00                           1         2.89

Step 4: Run command system alarm ALARM show at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

false
Show output
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alarm  Status              Toggled                         Prev-toggled            Toggle-count  Time up (%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALARM  false   2026-02-12 22:15:24.773217+00:00  2026-02-12 22:15:19.381012+00:00             2        35.64

Step 5: Run command system schedule show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

SCHED\s+(enable|disable).*left
Show output
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schedule  State    Next                         Left      Last                         Passed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCHED     enable   Thu 2026-02-12 22:16:19 UTC  52s left  Thu 2026-02-12 22:15:19 UTC  6s ago
SCHED     disable  Thu 2026-02-12 22:16:24 UTC  57s left  Thu 2026-02-12 22:15:24 UTC  1s ago

Note

The output of the above command should show the “enable” and “disable” entries in the table with a “Left” value, since the schedule is periodic.


Schedule Script Execution

Description

In this example, a schedule is configured in DUT0 to program the execution of a script that automatically changes the system configuration.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set system advisor ADVISOR1 test ALARM
set system advisor ADVISOR2 test 'not ALARM'
set system alarm ALARM
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set system schedule SCHED alarm ALARM
set system schedule SCHED disable day 12
set system schedule SCHED disable hour 22
set system schedule SCHED disable minute 15
set system schedule SCHED disable month 2
set system schedule SCHED disable second 52
set system schedule SCHED disable year 2026
set system schedule SCHED enable day 12
set system schedule SCHED enable hour 22
set system schedule SCHED enable minute 15
set system schedule SCHED enable month 2
set system schedule SCHED enable second 47
set system schedule SCHED enable year 2026
set system script SCRIPT1 advisor ADVISOR1
set system script SCRIPT1 configuration 'set system description \'Test Description\''
set system script SCRIPT2 advisor ADVISOR2
set system script SCRIPT2 configuration 'delete system description \'Test Description\''

Step 2: Run command system alarm ALARM show at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

true
Show output
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alarm  Status              Toggled               Prev-toggled  Toggle-count  Time up (%)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALARM  true    2026-02-12 22:15:47.772173+00:00                           1        11.10

Note

The output of the above command should show that the alarm was activated according to the “enable” time configured.

Step 3: Run command show version at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Note

The output of the above command should show the system description configured by the script.

Step 4: Run command system alarm ALARM show at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

false
Show output
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alarm  Status              Toggled                         Prev-toggled            Toggle-count  Time up (%)

Note

The output of the above command should show that the alarm was deactivated according to the “disable” time configured.

Step 5: Run command system schedule show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

SCHED\s+(enable|disable)\s+-\s+-\s+[a-zA-Z]{3}
Show output
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Schedule  State    Next  Left  Last                         Passed
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SCHED     disable  -     -     Thu 2026-02-12 22:15:52 UTC  496ms ago
SCHED     enable   -     -     Thu 2026-02-12 22:15:47 UTC  5s ago

Note

The output of the above command should show the “enable” and “disable” entries in the table without a “Next” or “Left” value, since the schedule is configured to be executed just once.

Step 6: Run command show version at DUT0 and check if output does not match the following regular expressions:

Description:.*Test Description
