Actions
Introduction
Actions are an integral part of the monitoring ecosystem, where problems and issues are addressed and resolved. Actions can vary widely and come with several considerations:
Manual vs. Automated Actions: Determining whether the action should be manually executed by an operator or automatically by the system.
Approvals Required: Identifying necessary approvals before executing the action.
Type of Action: Specifying the nature of the action, such as restarting a service, scaling resources, or sending notifications.
Nature of the Impact: Understanding the potential impact of the action on the system and its users.
The Virtana Wisdom supports the full lifecycle management of action configurations, including Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations. Each operation includes specific steps that interact with user interface elements.
