It reports on CPU activity, temperature, fan status, and disk space every five seconds. Your task is to use a data extract from the monitoring system to test event and alert generation.

About the Labs
Here is what you need to know to complete the Workflow Engine labs.
-
You won’t need to
ssh
into your instance for these labs. You can do all the work through the user interface. -
Practice sending sample data into Moogsoft AIOps with the Mini Lab first. After that you can do the labs in any order.
-
Even though you can do the Workflow Engine labs in any order, they are cumulative in their effect. When you have completed them all, send the 'All' dataset into your lab instance to verify that your workflows from all the labs are working together successfully. Send a screenshot to university@moogsoft.com showing your lab instance URL and your Open Situations view to receive a Proof of Completion.
