Actions Supported for Automation

remediations can be associated with actions dened in your vRealize Operations Manager instance. You can

that alert.
You enable actionable alerts in your policies. By default, automation is disabled in policies. To congure
automation for your policy, you select Administration > Policies > Policy Library. Then, you edit a policy,
access the Alert / Symptom Denitions workspace, and select Local for the Automate seing in the Alert
Denitions pane.
When an action is automated, you can use the Automated and Alert columns in Administration > Recent
Tasks to identify the automated action and view the results of the action.
