IT Automation

Site24x7 offers a set of exclusive IT Automation tools that automatically resolve performance degradation issues. These tools react to events proactively rather than waiting for manual intervention. The IT Automation tools automate repetitive tasks and automatically remediate threshold breaches. The alarm engine continually evaluates system events for which thresholds are set and executes the mapped automation when there is a breach.

How to configure IT Automation for a monitor

Configuration Rules

Editing multiple monitors to associate different monitor groups or add a different tag can be a tedious process. With Site24x7's Configuration Rules, you can automate the configuration settings of your monitoring resources. Also, Site24x7 allows you to create custom rules to track configuration changes continuously and achieve the ideal configuration settings.
