Hi Thomas,
Conny has a very good idea. If your organization’s security policies allow for it, it will work just fine. If you wanted / were forced to use a more old-school AR System-based approach, you will need to create two dummy forms populated with a record for each server in the group and then trigger something like the driver program or arimport from a run process triggered by an escalation on Dummy Form 1. The driver/arimport then does a login to the individual server in the group and modify the record for that server on Dummy Form 2. This can then trigger workflow to execute locally on the intended server in the group to do what you want on that specific server. See https://docs.bmc.com/docs/ars91/en/enabling-the-data-import-utility-609071980.html for info on running arimport (much easier than doing this with the driver program).

I would not recommend to run arsystem as root (from a security point of view) For ssh you can use whatever user you like, which has sufficient permissions to run your “licensetracker”. You’ll have to make sure, that the user running arsystem is able to do ssh to the target servers/user without the need of any password.

If escalations are running on server1 it will connect via ssh to itself, which does not really matter.
