Scheduling of automation tasks is done thru Actions interface
CloudMonix cycles through all actions it can execute and evaluates their criteria during every monitoring cycle (~once per minute). CloudMonix actions can be triggered to executed based on an expression or based on a schedule. Example from the screenshot outlines configuration of a VM shutdown at 8pm UTC.
Important fields to fill out:
-
Action evaluation type (Schedule or Expression). Expression can evaluate real-time conditions, while Schedules-based actions execute at specific times
-
Schedule. Users can get pretty sophisticated with scheduling of action execution.
-
Execution of actions can target any resources within monitored CloudMonix environment
-
Commands that can be executed depend on resource type. Most resources support a number of commands that can be executed on them. Few resources do not. To learn more about what specific commands are supported by what specific resources here.
