Managing runbooks and automations
Netcool®
Operations Insight® provides the capability to create and manage runbooks, which your operations teams can execute to
solve common operational problems. Runbooks provide full and partial automation of commons
operations procedures, thereby increasing the efficiency of your operations processes.
About runbooks
Prior to creating runbooks, learn more about how runbooks work.
Library
View the available runbooks, find matching runbooks for the events that you need to resolve, and run the runbooks. You can also review the runbooks that you have used to date.
Extending the runbook Library with runbooks from GitHub
The runbooks from GitHub feature lets you define and store your runbooks in GitHub. Learn more about how to use runbooks from GitHub and how they behave in the sections that follow.
Automations
Create an automation to summarize and automate several steps into a single step.
Triggers
If you have events that always correspond to the same runbook you can create a trigger and link the event with the runbook. Triggers can run with manual and automated runbooks. If the runbook is a manual or semi-automated runbook, the operator must complete the parameter values. If the runbook is fully automated, the trigger runs with pre-defined values. The operator does not even notice that the runbook was executed.
Administering data storage
Manage disk space used by runbook executions to avoid outages when the available disk space has been exhausted.
