Event Orchestration offers a reusable pluggable framework for providing Orchestration actions for events occurring in the TrueSight Presentation Server. After you install and configure the runbook, an operator can initiate Orchestration actions from the TrueSight Console, which trigger triage and remediation workflows in TrueSight Orchestration. Event Orchestration also integrates with BMC Remedy IT Service Management for incident and change management operations.

Event Orchestration provides the following enhancements: 

• TrueSight Orchestration component registration in TrueSight Presentation Server
• Context-aware actions for relevant events in TrueSight Operations Management
• New use case for Host Down type of events, in addition to the out-of-the-box Service Down use case
• Intelligence to detect and update incidents created using BMC Service Resolution
• Support for adding custom Orchestration actions for any event

For more information, see Event-Orchestration-runbook. 

REST adapter now supports encrypted data in the header. You can specify encrypted data in the header for all REST adapter requests such as POST, PUT, GET, and DELETE.

For more information and sample requests, see Specifying-header-fields-in-the-REST-adapter. 

The Update Module Configuration workflow in the AutoPilot OA Grid Management module is updated to support XML input and secure (encrypted) context items. New workflows such as the Update-Module-Configuration-Items-with-Login and Update-Module-Configuration-Items-with-Auth-Token are introduced in this release to support updating module configuration using either an authentication token or by providing grid login details. 

For more information, see Grid-Management-module-workflows.
