      {
         "tags": {
             "event_type": "OVERALLOCATED_CONTAINER_RECOMMENDATION",
             "platform": "kubernetes"
         },
         "payload": {
             "generated_by": {
                 "product": "AIOps",
                 "version": "21.05.00"
             },
             "resources": [
                 {
                     "resource_id": "?",
                     "resource_name": "automation",
                     "account_id": "?",
                     "account_name": "?",
                     "cluster": "rem-qa",
                     "namespace": "ryan",
                     "deployment": "schedulerplugin",
                     "current_cpu_request": 500,
                     "current_cpu_limit": 1000,
                     "current_memory_request": 2560,
                     "current_memory_limit": 2560,
                     "cpu_demand": 25,
                     "cpu_demand_peak": 350,
                     "memory_demand": 2227,
                     "memory_demand_peak": 2227,
                     "tags": {
                         "Environment": [
                             "Trial"
                          ],

                             "Sales"
                          ]
                     },
                     "container_cpu_recommendation": {
                         "action": "reduce_cpu_allocation",
                         "recommended_cpu_request": "200m",
                         "reclaimable_cpu": 450,
                         "recommended_cpu_limit": "500m"
                     }
                 }
              ]
         }
      }

5. In the Trigger Condition text box, use the expression builder to build the following conditional expression to match the trigger condition to the event:

   ( tags.event_type == OVERALLOCATED_CONTAINER_RECOMMENDATION ) && ( tags.platform == kubernetes ) && (tags.event.payload.resources[0].container_cpu_recommendation.action == reduce_cpu_allocation)
6. To add system or custom tags to the policy, perform the following steps:
   1. System tags: Select one or more tags from the list of available system tags. 
      Based on the event, some system tags are displayed.
   2. Custom tags: In the Tags (Optional) section, enter a key-value pair. 
      Tag key should start with an alphabet and end with an alphanumeric character. Key supports alphanumeric characters and periods, dashes, and underscores. 
7. To add action to the policy, click Add Action and perform the following steps by using the action wizard:
   1. From the Pick an automation tool section, click the connector name.
      Only configured connectors are displayed here. The wizard takes you to the next step to select an action. 
   2. Click Select against the Resize Deployment action.
      The wizard takes you to the next step to configure an action.
   3. Provide the following information:
      1. Enter the name of the Kubernetes deployment that you want to update. 
      2. Enter the name of the Kubernetes namespace in which the deployment is available.

      3. In Request Body > Spec > Template > Spec > Containers > Item 1, either enter the values, or use the event parameters from the right pane to populate these values:

         Field	Description
         Name	Name of the container for which you want to allocate the CPU resources
         Resources > Limits > Cpu	Recommended CPU limit
         Requests > Cpu	Recommended CPU request

         Note

         Based on the selected event, the event slots with the values specified in the event appear under the Parameters section on the UI. You can click any of the parameters and its value gets copied. You can paste it while defining the action in the policy. 

   4. Click Done.
      The added action appears in the Action Configuration section on the Create Automation Policies page.
8. In the Estimated Savings section, enter an approximate time (in minutes) and money (in USD) that you may save by automating this action.
