Creating incidents in BMC Helix IT Service Management for events
Why implement Proactive Service Resolution?
The following image illustrates the benefits of implementing the solution:
Scenario with Proactive Service Resolution
A critical event generated in BMC Helix Operations Management alerts you of a problem in your infrastructure. An administrator has configured and enabled the solution in BMC Helix Intelligent Automation.
Immediately, an incident is created automatically for the critical event. A corresponding information event is created in BMC Helix Operations Management with the incident details.
In BMC Helix Intelligent Automation, you can view the status of the automation policies that create the incident and the information event. With Proactive Service Resolution, the entire process is automatically executed and no more manual actions are required.
Scenario without Proactive Service Resolution
A critical event generated in BMC Helix Operations Management alerts you of a problem in your infrastructure.
You need to quickly respond to and remediate the problem and ensure that there is a record maintained for the actions taken for the remediation. If you do everything manually, you could lose critical time in resolving the problem, which could ultimately cause more issues, including costing time/money for the company.
To create an incident, you would typically perform the following tasks manually:
- Access BMC Helix Operations Management and obtain the event details.
- Create an incident in BMC Helix ITSM (requires permissions).
- Assign the incident to an agent and update the incident with additional information.
- Resolve the incident after the event is remediated.
