From observability to action with Event-Driven Ansible and IBM Instana
Associating events with specific desired actions creates the perfect combination of observability and automation to help IT teams hit the ground running—for example to resolve an outage or issue. Using this joint solution, IT teams can see what actions have been used in the past to work around or fix newer, similar issues. This can save time in determining the next steps, and they can even run actions directly on the agent that triggered the event. This also sets the stage for using artificial intelligence (AI) to recommend the next action to take to resolve issues automatically. In this session, we will demonstrate how the new action framework within IBM Instana can be used with Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform to help diagnose and fix problems in less time. In this episode, we’ll cover: - How IBM Instana can be used with Ansible Automation Platform to help diagnose and fix problems efficiently. - What actions have been used in the past to work around or fix similar issues. - Ways to determine next steps and run actions directly on the agent that triggered the event.
