A SALTY SCHEDULER

A web portal that allows users to schedule scripts or commands to run on selected target nodes using SaltStack. The tool will provide a user-friendly interface for scheduling jobs and managing the schedule through a web-based UI.

OBJECTIVES :

One : Scheduling through Web UI -

Web-based SaltStack scheduler to automate scripts and commands on multiple servers at specific time or intervals.

Two : Simplified Script Execution -

Schedule script or command execution on target nodes using a user-friendly UI by just getting inputs from user.

Three : Enhanced Job Management -

Easily view, edit, delete, list and run scheduled jobs through a web-based interface, reducing errors for all the users.

Conclusion & Future Scope

One : This project delivers a centralised web-based SaltStack scheduler, simplifying script and command execution on servers.

Two : In future, it can be scaled to integrate job monitoring and visualisation for real-time insights into scheduled tasks.

Three : Even further, it can implement user access control and role-based permissions for secure job scheduling management.
