Creating Corrective Action Libraries

For corrective actions that you use repeatedly, you can define a library corrective actions. After a corrective action is in the library, you can reuse its definition whenever you define a corrective action for a target metric or policy rule.

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Monitoring, then Corrective Actions. The Corrective Action Library page appears.
  2. Select a job type from the Create Library Corrective Action drop-down, then click Go.
  3. Define the corrective action as you would for creating a job in Creating Jobs for General and Parameters. For Access, go to the following optional step.
  4. Optional: Select Access to define or modify the access you want other users to have for this corrective action.

    For more information, see Sharing Access to Corrective Actions.

  5. Click Save to Library when you have finished. The Corrective Action Library page reappears, and your corrective action appears in the list. At this point, the recently created Corrective Action is in a draft state, with the following options:
    • Create Like - allow the creation of another Corrective Action with exactly the same, editable configuration as the original one
    • Delete - removes the Corrective Action
    • Edit - allows to edit configuration of the Corrective Action, except the event type and the target type
    • Publish - Make Corrective Action available to be used with target metrics. Corrective Action cannot be used before publishing

You can access this library entry whenever you define a corrective action for a metric severity by selecting From Library as the task type in the Add Corrective Actions page. See step Creating Corrective Actions for Events in Creating Corrective Actions for Metrics, for more information.
