Shell

The Shell executor executes a shell script every time it receives an event. Use the Shell executor as part of an event stream.

When you configure the executor, you define the shell script that you want to execute and environment variables to propagate configuration for the script. You also specify the maximum amount of time for the shell script to run. After the specified time elapses, the executor stops the script.

Note: When using Shell executors in pipelines, you should configure Data Collector to use Shell executor impersonation mode.
