Triggering Jobs Through Events

NetMRI triggered jobs allow a script or template with predefined or custom variables to execute against a device when a "triggering source event" occurs. The Automation Change Manager triggered jobs to execute automated tasks from the connected Infoblox NIOS appliance.

Triggering sources consist of the following:

Policy rule violations;
Custom and standard Issues.

You create and manage triggered jobs in the Config Management > Job Management > Triggered Jobs tab. You define triggered jobs using a Triggered Jobs Wizard. The table of jobs includes the following columns of information:

Actions	Actions are View/Edit and Delete. Choosing View/Edit displays the Triggered Job Wizard showing the current job's Job Summary. Click the Edit button to make changes to the job.
Name	The defined name for the triggered job.
Level	The importance level of the job.
Enabled	Define whether the job is enabled for execution.
Active Window	The execution time period during which the job will run if executed.
Trigger Type	The event that causes the job to execute: Issue, or Policy Rule violation.
Trigger Event	A description of the trigger event, such as Rogue DHCP Server Detected.
Device Groups	Jobs can also run against All device groups.
Action	One of two possible actions can occur when the trigger event takes place: Run Job Immediately/Auto-Run or Schedule Job. The Run Job Immediately option also offers an Auto-approval checkbox, which is available only for the NetMRI admin user.
Created On and Updated On	Date and time where the job was created, and the date and time where the job was last updated.
Last Run	The last date and time where the job executed.
