Create an automation

Goal: build an automation that runs an action automatically when an event happens.

Prerequisites

Check off items as you go through them. This is just a visual aid, so reloading the page unchecks everything again.

• Understand the trigger you want to use (usually a TR-069 event).
• Know the desired action (apply tag, apply config/script, update firmware…).

Step by step

1. Go to Administration → Automations and click + Add.

2. Fill in the initial registration:

   • System — where the automation will run (e.g.: ACS).
   • Name — a clear name (e.g.: Tag Huawei on devices).
   • Description — what the automation does.
   • Click Register.

3. The automation is created as a Draft. Now configure the trigger (the event that fires it) and the action (what to do), through the automation's Actions menu.

4. When ready, activate the automation (the Active column).

Expected result

The automation starts running on its own whenever the trigger occurs. Track executions in Execution Queue and Logs.

Tips

tip

Start by testing with a small scope (one model, one OLT) before applying it to the whole base. See Automation examples.
