Runbook

A runbook is an automated workflow that executes a series of steps or tasks in response to a triggered event. Such events can be the detection of anomalous behavior generating an incident, a lifecycle event in response to state changes within an incident, or manually executed runbooks that collect critical data to assist users.

A runbook comprises a set of automated procedures, represented by runbook nodes, which are assembled in sequence to define the automated investigation. See the Runbook page description and the Incident page description for learn how runbooks are used to investigate incidents.

Some runbooks are built in to Riverbed IQ, and it is possible to define your own custom runbooks or import them from a file.

See this video for a brief introduction to runbooks.
