Turbonomic actions

After you deploy your targets, Turbonomic starts its analysis of your environment. This holistic analysis identifies problems and the actions you can take to resolve and avoid these problems. Turbonomic then generates a set of actions for that particular analysis and displays it in Action Center for you to investigate.

To get the best results from Turbonomic, execute these actions promptly and consider automating as many of them as possible. You can execute these actions from the user interface or outside Turbonomic. To automate these actions, create an automation policy or change action acceptance to Automatic in the default policies.

At first glance, individual actions might appear trivial and it is instinctively convenient to ignore them. It is important to keep in mind that executing a single action can impact other workloads in a meaningful way, helping move these other workloads closer to their desired state. However, if you find that a recommended action is not acceptable (for example, if it violates existing business rules), you can set up a policy with your preferred action.

In some cases, actions can introduce disruptions that you want to avoid at all costs. For example, during critical hours, Turbonomic might execute a resize action on a mission critical resource, which then requires that resource to restart. It is important to anticipate these disruptions and plan accordingly. For example, you can create a group for all critical resources and then schedule the execution of actions to off-peak hours or weekends.
