Neurons Bots Stages

Used to present and filter information from devices that meet the specified criteria. The output and context from this query stage can be passed through subsequent stages in the bot.
For example, show devices with less than 10% free disk space.

Action stages leverage Automation Fabric to perform actions. Use of variables is available for some actions. Learn more about Stage variables.

• Filter Results: You can filter query results based on customizable properties. Once you connect a built-in Query Stage to a Filter, the Property drop-down lists all available properties that can be selected. To view details of the properties, go to the query Stage Settings panel and select Stage Information.
• You can also use the Preview Query functionality to assess all targeted devices, and use the results table to view the format and range of values that can be filtered.
• You have the ability to join multiple queries together in sequence. If this is done, all results are combined and available to filter on, or use in Action Stages. You can change the comparison behavior of the connected filter so that it either applies either AND or the OR logic to determine the results.
• Join: Use this stage to re-merge a bot that has split down separate branches. In the Stage settings, select the join behavior; Any state, All succeeded, At least one succeeded.
• Set Variable: Use this stage to provide a consistent reference point that can be configured with default values and updated by stages based on results. This is useful when you want to use a single variable to reference a field which might be updated from queries across different branches. The variables that you can set are defined in Define variables.

Stages for early access are available here. Beta stages are offered to enable Ivanti to gather feedback and data around upcoming features.

Custom stages allow you to execute a custom script. You can choose from the following scripting templates:

• osquery: an open source SQL based language that can be used to query and retrieve information from devices and supports Windows and macOS devices.
• PowerShell Query: can be used to query Windows and macOS devices. It can run as system or logged-on user.
• Bash Action: can be used to perform actions on macOS devices.
• Command Action: executes Windows command prompt commands on the target endpoint. It can run as system or the logged-in user.
• Powershell Action: can be used to perform actions on Windows devices.

List function stages allow you to perform actions on stage results that are a list. You can, for example, filter, sort, count, or sum the list.
If the result of a List function stage is again a list, you can add another List function to further refine the result.

In the work area, you can recognize a stage that (is expected to) return a list result by the List tag.

To apply a List function stage in your workflow:

1. Add a stage that has a list result.

2. Add the desired List function.

3. Using , connect the stages from step 2 and 3.
   This will populate the value(s) for Select List on the List function stage.

4. Select the List on which you want to perform the List function.

5. Depending on the List function, complete the remaining configuration of the stage.

6. Complete the rest of your bot workflow and save your changes.
