About the Responder Activity Page

Understand the different responder execution types and execution statuses, the two ways to navigate to the Responder Activity page, and what you see when you get there.

Two Ways to Navigate to the Responder Activity Page

Understand the two ways you can reach the Responder Activity page, and the content that each way displays.

The way that you access the Responder Activity page determines what responders are listed there:

  • Directly - by clicking Responder Activity in the Cloud Guard options panel on the left. All responders are listed.
  • Indirectly - by clicking in the Responder Status tile on the Overview page, that automatically filters the responders list to display a subset of responders. Only that subset of responders is displayed.

After you are on the Responder Activity page, all the same options are available.

Understanding the Responder Activity Page

Understand what information is displayed in the different columns on the Responder Activity page.

The column headers identify the information displayed:

  • Responder Name - the name of the responder that was triggered. The name also describes the action to be taken.
  • Responder Activity OCID - the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure ID (OCID) of the responder that was triggered.
  • Resource - the name of the resource related to the problem that the response would modify.
  • Region - the Oracle region in which the responder that was triggered. For IAM resources, or other global resources, the home region of the tenant.
  • Execution Status - The current status of a response activity:
    • Awaiting confirmation - The response is pending and requires user approval before the action is taken.
    • Failed - The attempted response action failed.
    • Skipped - While awaiting confirmation, the response action a Cloud Guard operator skipped the response.
      Note

      When multiple response options are available, a Cloud Guard administrator might choose to skip one response action in preference for another.
    • Started - The response has been initiated, but has not yet logged as completed with a resolution status.
    • Succeeded - The response action completed successfully.
  • Execution Type - The responder execution can be either Manual or Automated.
  • Problem Name - The name of the problem that the responder identified.
  • Time Created - The date and time that a response activity record was created for the related problem.
  • Time Completed - The date and time the response activity was completed.

Responder Execution Types and Execution Status

View the rules for how Cloud Guard resolves manual and automated execution types, and the different status values that each execution type can have.

Responders are executed either manually or automatically. Each responder Execution Type (Manual or Automated) can be in a different Execution Status:

Execution Type How Problems Are Resolved Possible Execution Status
Manual Problems are resolved manually (from the Problems page, Mark as Resolved or Dismissed).
  • Succeeded
  • Failed
Automatic Problems are resolved by first getting user confirmation or input. Then problems are remediated, either by Cloud Guard or directly by the user.
  • Awaiting confirmation
  • Awaiting input
  • Skipped
  • Succeeded
  • Failed
Problems are resolved immediately by Cloud Guard, with no user intervention.
  • Succeeded
  • Failed
