An administrator wants to receive an environment summary report when a host failure occurs.
Which action would address the administrator's need?
An administrator wants to receive an environment summary report when a host failure occurs.
Which action would address the administrator's need?
To achieve the requirement of receiving an environment summary report when a host failure occurs, creating a playbook is the most suitable action. A playbook allows triggers based on specific events like a host failure, and can execute a series of actions as a response. These actions can include generating the environment summary report and ensuring it is sent to the administrator. Creating a playbook combines both the monitoring capabilities of alerts and the flexibility to automate the reporting process, thereby addressing the administrator's need effectively.
A is the only complete answer. B isn't useful at all. C can create the report and send it, but only on a schedule. Partial solution. D can create the alert, but not generate the report. Another partial solution. A playbook would let you use the alert as a trigger, then generate and send the report as actions.
Answer is A "Playbook allows you to define a trigger that results in the execution of an action or a series of actions. A trigger may be an event that occurs in the system, such as an alert or a request made by you. The resultant actions that you configure can be VM actions, communication actions, alert actions, or report actions."

Like you said, a playbook executes a series of action, but NOT include an email summery
Nowhere in the question does it mention needing an email summary.
Generating the report and sending an email are both actions you can include in your series of actions.

The answer is correct. D. An alert policy can be configured to send out an environment summary report when a host failure occurs.This can be done by creating a policy that triggers an alert whenever a host fails and then configuring thepolicy to send out a report that provides a summary of the environment in which the failure occurred. Thiswill allow the administrator to quickly get a view of the environment after a failure occurs, allowing them totake the necessary steps to address the issue
I disagree, the alert policy can be made to trigger on failure but doesn't itself have a way to send the summary report. That's why you need the playbook. An alert would obviously be the way to trigger the playbook, and would suffice to send an email about the alert, but doesn't meet the stated requirement of generating an environment summary report.
I think C is the correct answer : https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Intelligent-Operations-Guide-vpc_2023_3:ssp-report-management-ssp-pc-c.html#:~:text=The%20environment%20summary%20report%20provides,is%20registered%20to%20Prism%20Central.
Seems like the only options there are to schedule the report or run it manually. Doesn't meet the requirement of sending based on a host failure.
It might be A https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Intelligent-Operations-Guide-vpc_2023_3:mul-playbooks-email-report-pc-t.html
Final and correct answer : A Coz Only playbook has option for Node failure alert and send Environment summary report.
I agree the answer is A, the only way to receive a Environment summary report by email when a host fail is using a Playbook, no see how the configuration alert policy can send by email the Environment summary report when a host failure occurs.
Alerts sends also the critical events that happen in the cluster, if a host fails or a cvm, or a service is down you will receive an alert by email, host failure considered as an event with severity critical
An alert policy can be configured to send out an environment summary report when a host failure occurs.
Set trigger - alert "Node Failure", add action "generate report", environment summary, add action - email
Im selecting D, Configure an alert Policy. It seens to be right.
To receive an environment summary report when a host failure occurs, the administrator needs to automate the process of generating and sending reports triggered by specific events (like a host failure). This can be achieved by creating a playbook in Nutanix.
While configuring an alert policy can notify the administrator of a host failure, it does not include generating or sending an environment summary report automatically.
