Managing Remediation Mapping

Remediation Mapping helps users prevent system failures and ensures continuity of applications and services in the virtual environment. With Remediation Mapping, users can react to system alarms and warnings by running predefined workflows that eliminate the risk of system failure.

For example, consider the case where a virtual machine that is monitored by Foglight for Automation runs short of system resources (for example, disk space or RAM). An alarm appears in Foglight for Automation. Using Remediation Mapping, you can execute a workflow to release the resources required for normal operation of a virtual machine.
