Abstract: Techniques for recommending runbook operations during a runbook generation process are disclosed. A system recommends operations for including in the runbook based on attributes of a detected event. The system presents event attributes associated with the detected event to a user in a runbook generation interface. When the user selects an event attribute, the system presents a set of candidate runbook operations associated with the event attribute. Based on user selections of runbook operations to include in a runbook, the system generates and stores a template of the runbook in which the attribute values associated with the detected event are omitted. Upon execution of the runbook at a future time, the system, or a user, may populate the event attributes in the runbook with values that correspond to the future event of the same event type.

Abstract: A method and system for visualizing a system. The method includes obtaining a context managed entity from a client system, wherein the context managed entity corresponds to software executing on a computer system, querying a managed entity repository to obtain a plurality of managed entities linked to the context managed entity, wherein the plurality of managed entities comprises a software managed entity and a hardware managed entity, and generating a node in a topology model object for each of the plurality of managed entities. The method further includes generating a link object in the topology model object for each link between managed entities in the plurality of managed entities and rendering a topology graph comprising each node and each link object in the topology model object.
