## Overview

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.

## Wizards help teams:

* Configure common use cases faster
* Apply recommended settings
* Reduce configuration errors
* Standardize deployment across applications and environments
* Guide users who are unfamiliar with GermainUX configuration
* Automate repeatable setup processes

## Open a Wizard

Go to:

**Germain Workspace > Left Menu > Wizards**

The page displays the Wizards available in your GermainUX environment.

## Run a Wizard

**1. Go to Wizards**

**2. Select the Wizard that matches your requirement**

**3. Review its purpose and prerequisites**

**4. Enter the requested information**

**5. Continue through each step**

**6. Review the configuration summary**

**7. Confirm and complete the Wizard**

**8. Verify the objects and settings created by the Wizard**

The required information and generated configuration depend on the selected Wizard.

## Wizard Categories

Wizards can assist with three primary configuration areas:

| 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. |
| **Automation** | 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:

1. Review the configuration objects it created or updated.
2. Confirm that applications, data sources, credentials, filters, and other referenced objects are correct.
3. Verify whether the generated objects are enabled or disabled.
4. Test the configuration in a non-production environment when appropriate.
5. 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.

## Custom Wizards

Organizations can create custom Wizards for their own technologies, processes, and deployment standards.

Custom Wizards can be used to:

* Standardize recurring configuration
* Deploy approved settings across multiple applications
* Collect only the information required from the user
* Generate multiple related configuration objects
* Simplify complex monitoring or automation setup
* Apply organization-specific naming and security requirements

GermainUX can also create a custom Wizard for your use case. [Contact GermainUX](https://germainux.com/resources/contact-info/) for assistance.

## Recommended Practices

* Select the Wizard that most closely matches the intended use case.
* Gather the required connection, application, and credential information before starting.
* Review every value before completing the Wizard.
* Protect any credentials entered during configuration.
* Test generated configurations before deploying them broadly.
* Verify that the expected data is received after setup.
* Review existing objects before rerunning a Wizard to avoid unintended duplicate configuration.
