⚙️ Configuration Wizards
GermainUX Wizards provide guided, step-by-step configuration for Monitoring, Analytics, and Automation.
Instead of configuring each object manually, users answer a series of questions and the Wizard creates or updates the required GermainUX configuration.

🔖 Wizard Categories

|
Category |
Purpose |
|---|---|
|
Monitoring |
Configures data collection for an application, service, infrastructure component, user experience, or other monitored technology. |
|
Analytics |
Configures KPIs, SLAs, Rules, categorization, correlations, dashboards, or other analytical objects. |

Configures alerts, actions, reports, remediation workflows, or other automated responses. |
A single Wizard may configure objects across more than one category when required by the use case.
🔎 Review the Generated Configuration
After completing a Wizard:
-
Review the configuration objects it created or updated.
-
Confirm that applications, data sources, credentials, filters, and other referenced objects are correct.
-
Verify whether the generated objects are enabled or disabled.
-
Test the configuration in a non-production environment when appropriate.
-
Confirm that data is being collected, analyzed, or acted upon as expected.
The user running the Wizard must have the permissions required to create or update the corresponding configuration objects.
