Can NCM trigger a SAM script

HI All

We have issues using scp to export the config backup file for new F5OS devices, the devices themselves seem to add inverted commas to the export command which causes an issue with the solarwind windows server, so I have setup a SAM to create/export these files, but i dont want it to run all the time, only when there is a change in running config.

I know we can trigger an action on the syslog message that config has changed but this message is generated whenever user exits running config mode so wont necessarily be an actual config change.

I am using NCM to ssh the running configs at the moment (also nice to have a readable view) and this only saves run/start configs if it has changed, would it be possible to also trigger the SAM module to run if it detects a change?

Thanks

Managed to figure something out got SAM monitor to run swql query to get the last Modified time 1st and only run file backup if it has changed within last day

my query if it helps anyone SELECT ModifiedTime, ConfigType FROM NCM.ConfigArchive as c JOIN NCM.Nodes as n on n.NodeID = c.NodeID WHERE SysName = 'xxxxx' AND c.ConfigType = 'Running' AND ModifiedTime >=DATETRUNC('DAY',ADDDAY(-1,GETUTCDATE())) ORDER BY ModifiedTime DESC
