I would like the ability to define a workflow such as setting a custom property, setting a set of custom properties, unmanaging a node, etc based on a schedule. This would allow me to do more workflow automation within the Orion.
Love the concept, I'm all about automation when possible. can you give example use case?
Sure, I can give an example...
I have a custom node property called Monitoring_Type and there are two options Active or Passive. All of my alerts have a condition that requires Monitoring_Type = Active for the alert to trigger. This allows me to set devices to Passive so I can continue to collect data but not receive alerts on them. With this feature request I could schedule to have that custom property changed during patching windows hence still collecting data but not alerting during reboots and such.
Ah...that sounds like a time based event. Not all enterprise mangement is reactive. Some is based on an action performed at specific times.
Everyday at this time run this.
Everyday at this time look for this file on that server. If not exist wait 5 and try again up to 5 iterations. If exist, then set status to "success" or what ever is appropriate.
Well, it seems reasonable that if you could setup the predefined task you could then also have the ability to run it on demand versus having a schedule assigned to it.
