IT Automation for Capacity Planning Monitors
IT Automation for Capacity Planning involves automating the resources mapped under the Capacity Planning Monitor. Using Capacity Planning, you can execute IT Automation for all the resources grouped under Capacity Planning Monitors as a single action instead of individually executing the automation for each resource.
To configure IT Automation for Capacity Planning Monitors, go to Admin > IT Automation Templates > Add Automation Template. In the Add Automation Template pop-up, select the desired automation Type. For the Select Resource Type option, choose Capacity Planning Monitors. Choose the required capacity panning monitor for IT Automation from the Destination Capacity Planning Monitor(s) drop-down, and click Save.
Use case
