The Solutions page is the entry point for orchestration.
Solutions provide an easy way to access and run scripts created by admins, combined with predefined devices and permissions.

πŸ“Œ Overview

The Solutions page displays all created solutions in a table view, making it easy to:
  • Organize scripts and services into accessible solutions
  • Control which device groups the solution runs against
  • Manage user permissions for execution
  • Quickly perform actions such as execution, tagging, and deletion

πŸ“‹ Solutions Table

Each created solution appears in a structured table with the following columns:
ColumnDescription
SolutionName of the solution
Service DescriptionExplanation of the underlying script or service
PlatformPlatform or environment the solution targets
ActionsActions available for that solution, such as:
β€’ Execute Form
β€’ Set Permissions
β€’ Add Tags
β€’ Delete Solution

πŸ›  Creating a Solution

Solutions can be created by admins only, from either a Script or an Ansible Service that has a form attached to it.
  1. Identify if a script/service has a form attached to it. If not create a form to run the script/service.
  1. Click the actions menu to get the Create a Solution option
  1. Fill out the form in three steps and add necessary permissions.

πŸ”’ Additional Permissions and Settings

When creating a solution, additional permissions and execution settings can be configured:
  • Allow Task Scheduling – enable scheduling of tasks for automated execution
    • Supported scheduling windows:
      • Daily
      • Weekdays
      • Last day of the month
      • First weekday of the month
      • Specific months
  • Allow Email Notifications – enable sending notifications for task events
  • Data Permissions – configure whether response data can be sent in notifications
  • Restrict Email Recipients – define limitations on who can receive email notifications

πŸš€ Execute Solution

The execute icon allows the user to run the solution directly through the solution’s page. Users with adequate permissions to access the solution will be able to complete the required form and execute the solution. Authorized users can edit permissions to determine which Cloud.Red users may access the solution.

Why Use Solutions?

  • Centralized Access: One place to run approved scripts and services
  • Predefined Targets: Runs against preselected device groups
  • Permission Control: Restrict execution to only authorized users without providing direct access to the devices.
  • Streamlined Execution: No need to reconfigure script or service settings each time
