Chapter 2. Runbook Designer
Now that we've got our environment in place, we can start creating Runbooks with the Runbook Designer. But first, we need to understand what the Runbook Designer is and what to expect from it. At first sight, it might be pretty clear from the name of the component that this is the tool we're going to use to create Runbooks, and although that's true, it's not only that. We'll see this further in this chapter. Let's dig in!
In this chapter, we will address the following points:
The Runbook Designer overview
The Runbooks overview
Creation of a Runbook
Testing a Runbook on the Runbook Designer
Tip
Before you start your Runbook Designer, don't forget that if you're starting it from another machine that's not the Management Server, you'll need to configure the proper server to connect to. Refer to the previous chapter on the Runbook Designer section for more details.
