XpoLog help - Automation 
 
Automation is the family of tasks and monitors that can be executed on a predefined time rules, automatically and without human intervention, to create a self manageable log monitoring and backup structure. XpoLog methodology to enable automation is based on the following components:

Tasks
Tasks are execution units that can be activated in a scheduled or a manual manner. Tasks are the logical units that point to a software component that can actually do something and the information of its execution policy. check out the monitors and operation sections on how to create and customize your personal tasks.   

Monitors
A monitor is a logical computation unit that returns either a success or a failure status based on the occurrences or absence of events in a log. There are two types of monitors:  Log monitors that execute some filter on logs and count results, and Multi monitors that execute one or more monitors and determine their status from the children statuses.

Operations
Operation is an applicative component in XpoLog that can execute some sequence of operation in the product. It is possible to create customized operations (actions) and pre configure them with specific data. An example of such an operation is sending a log to an email account. You can then set the failure or success of some monitor in the system to execute the operation as an event.

Scheduling - Foundation to Monitoring
Once tasks (monitors and operation tasks) were created and stored in the system, it is possible to schedule jobs that can be automatically executed from the scheduling screen. An active task will be executed according to the scheduling rules and will generate events for each execution.
