Snippets

Snippets are commands you run often, one click away. Every account starts with 20 useful ones — disk space, biggest folders, failed services, listening ports, top processes and more — grouped by topic.

#Using a snippet

Open Snippets from the left bar while a terminal is open. The page tells you which server the command will go to.

• Run sends the command to that terminal and takes you back to it.
• Insert types the command without pressing Enter, so you can fill in the blanks first. Snippets with placeholders like <service> or <host> show Insert instead of Run.

Type in Search snippets… to find one quickly.

#Your own snippets

• + New snippet — give it a Name, the Command and, optionally, a Group to file it under.
• Point at a snippet to edit or delete it. The defaults are yours to change or remove too.
• Restore default snippets brings back any of the 20 defaults you deleted (your own snippets aren't touched).

Snippets you create are yours — colleagues have their own — unless you share them through a folder (below).

#Share snippets with your team

Snippets can live in a shared connection folder, so the runbook commands for those servers are in one place for everyone:

1. In Snippets, click +.
2. Under Who can use it, choose Everyone in "" (you see the folders where you're an admin or have Edit access).
3. Save.

Everyone in the folder sees it under the folder's name with a shared badge and can run it. Admins and Edit members can change or delete it; Use members can't. Deleting the shared folder deletes its snippets.
