Runbooks

Package a multi‑step procedure — the sequence you'd normally run by hand during an incident or a routine task — into a runbook you can execute in one click.

Build a runbook

1. Go to Automation → Runbooks → New Runbook.
2. Name it (e.g. Restart web tier), add a description of what it does, and tags (e.g. linux, restart, nginx) for searching.
3. Add Step for each action in order — give the step a name and its script content. Steps run in sequence.
4. Save.

Run it

Open the runbook and Run it against the target device(s). Steps execute in order and report results, so a known procedure runs the same way every time.

tip

Turn your "here's how we fix X" wiki pages into runbooks — the next on‑call person clicks Run instead of copy‑pasting commands under pressure.
