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 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.

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.

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.
|
|
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.
