A company's NOC personnel have a custom Python script they run manually by logging into each VM to fix a common issue across all of the corporate VMs. Management has no audit history of who is running the script or when it is occurring. The company has recently implemented Calm and management has asked its administrators to accomplish these tasks:
Reduce the manual effort for the NOC personnel.
Ensure the process is repeatable across all applications.
Provide audit history for management of the actions.
Which two actions should the administrators take to accomplish these tasks? (Choose two.)


A. Create a new Action, Add an Execute task with a script type of EScript, paste the custom script into the action


B. View the Execution History tab under the Runbook page for audit purposes


C. Create a new Runbook Add an Execute task with a script type of EScript paste the custom script into the action


D. View the Audit tab under the Application view for audit purposes





A.
  Create a new Action, Add an Execute task with a script type of EScript, paste the custom script into the action

B.

A company wants to ensure that all developers are able to request new development environments on demand by using ServiceNow.
The administrator notices that even though developers create new environments, they rarely remove these environments when moving on to new assignments. Today, the administrator has gone into Prism Central to check when the VM was created, in order to reach out to the developer and ask if it can be deleted. The administrator has accidentally deleted the wrong VM in the past.
Which two methods can the administrator use to automate this task to avoid deleting the incorrect VMs? (Choose two.)


A. Create a playbook REST API action to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.


B. Create a playbook webhook action to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.


C. Create a playbook webhook trigger to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.


D. Create a playbook REST API trigger to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.





A.
  Create a playbook REST API action to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.

C.
  Create a playbook webhook trigger to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.

An administrator has a Linux VM that does batch processing out of a queue. Currently, a technician connects to the VM console and runs a command on the VM to initiate or terminate the batch processing application, as there is no programmatic interface for the application.
The application is processor intensive, so it should only run outside of business hours. The VM has the ability to send REST API calls to Prism.
How should the administrator configure a Playbook to satisfy the needs of this process with minimal external interaction?


A. Manual Trigger > Power On > VM SSH > Wait for Some Time > Power Off VM


B. Time Trigger > VM SSH > Wait for Some Time > VM SSH


C. Webhook Trigger > REST API > Wait for Some Time > REST API


D. Manual Trigger > VM SSH > Wait for Some Time > VM SSH





C.
  Webhook Trigger > REST API > Wait for Some Time > REST API

Refer to the exhibit.



An administrator created the Playbook shown in the exhibit to allow for manual reduction of vCPU count on any selected VM within their environment.
