Command and Result Note

Summarize Command Output to Share Knowledge

To help share insights and context about command outputs, you can add a summary note after running a node. This allows the runbook creator to communicate the command intention to the runbook executor.

1. Click Note to open the note pane.
2. Enter a summary explaining the purpose and expected output of the command.

   

3. Click OK to save the summary. The saved summary will be displayed making it easier for others to understand and apply the information.

   

   Note: Summary notes cannot be saved to a Runbook Template.
