Systems programmers and administrators can automate routine maintenance tasks in response to system alerts. Users can easily debug problems by viewing and interacting with consoles for service machines and Linux guests. Operators have the ability to better interpret messages and determine corrective actions.
Automate routine tasks to relieve administrators of the responsibility of issuing repetitive commands correctly and at the appropriate time.
Automate the response to situations requiring intervention to eliminate the need for operators to interpret messages correctly, determine corrective actions, and respond accurately.
In the event of a situation requiring intervention, you can utilize various external methods to notify key personnel about the event. This facilitates real-time notification regarding occurrences in critical services or critical components that demand expert attention.
Commands are provided to control sessions that will perform tasks at specific times or off-shift without manual intervention.
