if test.txt does not show up the test script didn't execute correctly I guess.

what about testing the script via Admin tab ? Did you execute this step ? Results?

Hi Karl,

Executed, and it says "Execution Successful". However, the test.txt does not appear in the directory.

Does your script look like this (it should):

#!/bin/bashdatetime="$(date)"echo "  Custom Action Script Test Time: $datetime" >> /home/customactionuser/test.txtecho "Text written to /home/customactionuser/test.txt"

Because that page looks bit confusing to me.

Also, for BASH, the file endings on the file must be UNIX (LF only) and not Windows (CR/LF)

Hi Paul,

I have implemented a script which is exactly as the one you posted.

I am getting the message "Text written to /home/customactionuser/test.txt". However, I could not seem to find this test.txt in /home/customactionuser/.

Refer to attached screenshot. Perhaps there is something I am missing out.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the reference discussion. The .txt file is now able to be seen. It seems to be recording the UTC time of when it is executed.

How do I make it such that it executes a notification to alert users of QRadar?

The best way to do that would be to use the "Notify" Rule Response - not the "Execute Custom Action" at all

Hi Paul,

What kind of alerts does "Notify rule response" gives? Will it have a pop-up like system notifications?

It will only appear in the Offenses tab right?
