To automate a notification based on a specific change in the environment (such as a VM powering off), the administrator should leverageIntelligent Operations (X-Play)by creating an event-driven Playbook.
Event Trigger:The "VM Power Off" or "Power State Change" is a system-generatedEvent. X-Play allows administrators to select this specific event as aTrigger. This ensures the automation runs in real-time immediately when the state change occurs, rather than waiting for a schedule (as in Option A).
Action (Slack):X-Play includes a nativeSlackaction (or "Send to Slack"). The administrator configures this action with the Slack Webhook URL and the desired message content.
Why not others?
Option Ais reactive and delayed (polling every 6 hours).
Option Bonly runs once during the initial deployment of the blueprint, not continuously during the VM's lifecycle.
Option Csuggests a Webhook trigger, which requires anexternalsystem to invoke the Playbook. Here, the event originatesinternallywithin Nutanix, so an Event Trigger is the correct choice.
