Canopy Manage Automations can be triggered from four base event-types:

• Asset (can trigger the automation on individual assets, all assets in particular groups, all assets of one or more particular types, all assets from particular providers/probes):
  • Discovered (A new asset is discovered)
  • Expired
  • Property Changed
  • Will Expire (an asset is about to expire)
  • State Changed (going to online or offline)
  • Asset Health Warning Received
  • Asset Health Warning Cleared
• Custom Actions (can select specific custom actions):
  
  • Started
  • Failed
  • Succeeded
• Dates:
  • A once-off date in the future (the automation will be deleted once it's ran)
    
  • On a schedule (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly)
• Probes:
  
  • A probe goes online or offline
  • A plugin is installed, updated, or uninstalled.

Finally, once an Automation is triggered Canopy Manage can either call another Custom Action or a communication Connector to notify users that something has happened. 

Use Cases

• A Canopy Manage Probe goes offline so email Operations so they can investigate. 
• Call your existing scripts via a Custom Action, once a week, to archive  logs and report back on the space savings.
• An asset is about to Expire so send a message via Microsoft Teams so the infrastructure team can deal with it.
• A Custom Action was started and Team Leaders wish to keep track of it.
