Practical Example – Monitoring Actuators
Monitoring systems use sensors to monitor your IT infrastructure, such as network devices, servers, applications or services and, in future, IoT infrastructures. They report irregularities and alert you to critical conditions or failures. All this information is consolidated and visualized in one console. More and more intelligence in detection requires automation for troubleshooting and problem solving.
Reliable sensor technology requires powerful actuators – that’s how we get to the point. What if you no longer have to react manually to the messages in the monitoring alarm center, but are able to use a partially or fully automatic reaction for regular, similar events, with full traceability in the sensor-actuator chain and in compliance with the highest security requirements?
You monitor your infrastructure with reliable monitoring. Warnings, error messages, etc. appear on the monitoring console. You want to be able to react to regular and recurring alarms with automated actuators. The actuators should be able to react partially or fully automatically when approved by an administrator.
ScriptRunner allows direct execution of scripts on remote systems and devices. The execution of the scripts is triggered by the monitoring system and controlled by appropriate guidelines. Customizable scripts in our Automation Packs or individual actuator scripts realize the desired functions. The coupling and integration with the respective monitoring system is carried out via Web Service Connectors.
The combination of sensors and actuators allows you to achieve unprecedented efficiency in monitoring, fault detection and response in the infrastructure. You can significantly expand automation from detection and reporting to reaction to events and can thus define and implement independent, self-controlling control loops. As a result, you significantly reduce the number and effort required for manual interventions.
