So opEvents is set up and running and you are able to see every event that is occurring. You are happy knowing any time an event pops up you can clearly see it as well as dig into the event details but however, there is still work to be done once the event occurs. You notice one event in particular, high bandwidth usage keeps displaying in the event list and you keep having to run the same few commands every time to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Ask yourself, "How can I bridge the gap from where our process is now to leveraging the tools I have to get to where I want to be?". You remember that opConfig allows for commandcan run commands automatically and you begin brainstorming on how you can get these modules to do the work so you or your team don't have to.
Basic event automation
Event automation can be completed in four steps:

- List the steps you take to troubleshoot and remediate when the issue occurs.
- Identify how these steps can be automated.
- Create an action to respond to the event.
