Testing an action

As a Service Delivery Engineer, you can test an action before you use it within a runbook. This allows you to quickly develop and test actions.

  1. Click the navigation icon at the upper-left corner of the screen to go to the main navigation menu.

  2. In the main navigation menu, click Operate > Automations.

  3. Click Actions.

  4. Select an action in the table to display the Preview side panel for that action.

  5. Click Test Test to start the test procedure for the action. Alternatively, click the options menu of the action and click the Test option.

    Note: You can select a different version of the automation if you don't want to test the latest version.

  6. Follow the instructions on the Test action page.

  7. Verify the result of the action.

  8. You can test the action multiple times.

  9. Parameter values can be modified between test runs of the action. To copy test parameter values to the action editor, click Edit action. In the dialog that's displayed, select the test parameter values that you want to bring to the action editor and click Edit action. Any changes made in the editor must still be saved.
