Batch Actions in Device View

Batch actions allow you to run the same operation across many devices with guardrails for concurrency, timeouts, and failure thresholds.

How to use

  1. Go to Devices and use filters/tags to select a set of devices.
  2. Click Batch Actions.
  3. Choose an action: Deploy Template, Run Script, Restart/Stop/Start container(s), Update Agent, Add/Remove labels, Set variables.
  4. confirm and execute.

Tracking progress

  • A job is created with per-device status (queued, running, succeeded, failed). Click a device row for logs.
  • Correlate with Events: Each batch has a Job ID; search it in Events to see the master entry and per-device details.

Managing and safety

  • Retry failed only: After completion, re-run against the failed subset.
  • Always test on a small tag-based subset before fleet-wide changes.
  • Use tags to segment devices by site/role to make targeting safer and repeatable.
