Activities

See recently executed runbooks, including runbooks in progress. Up to 1000 records matching the current criteria are displayed on the Activities UI. More records can be retrieved through the runbook API. If you need to see the records on the UI, use the filters on the page to refine the search criteria so that less records match.

On the Activities page, you can find all runbooks that have been started. You can filter your list by the following criteria:

• User

  Click the User filter and select one or more user names. All runbook activities for the selected user names are shown.

• Runbook name

  Click the Runbook filter and select one or more runbook names. All runbook activities for the selected runbook names are shown.

• Runbook type

  Click the filter Type and select Automatic Manual. Fully automated runbooks are runbooks in which each step contains an automation. An operator does not need to interact with the runbook. Automated runbooks can be mapped with events by creating a trigger. To see the automated runbooks that are started by a trigger, click Automatic.

• Runbook execution status

  Click the Status filter and choose a status such as Success, Failed, Cancelled, In progress, or Completed. For example, you can find all runbook activities that are paused by selecting In progress. When you are ready to return to the task you can resume the runbook. Select the Canceled status if you want to see all canceled runbooks and the reason why they have been canceled.

You can take the following actions on the Activities page:

• Resume activities that are paused or in progress.

  This lets you continue with the activity's current step, and it displays the activity's history up to that point including which steps have been skipped as well as all relevant action results.

• View past runbook activities' details.

  This displays the entire history of the activity. In the case of a fully automated activity, the details also include action activity errors when available. Only activities that are in progress or paused can be changed, so this view of the activity is read only.

  If a step has been skipped as a result of conditional branching then this step is marked accordingly with an information box. For more information, see Conditional branching.
