## Before you begin

Role required: evt_mgmt_admin

## About this task

Note:  
Use [Ignore automation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/QdDviJL5PZxXyvuT3BUhuQ "Ignore automation streamlines the process of disregarding irrelevant or false-positive alerts from monitoring systems, efficiently managing alert fatigue by filtering out unnecessary notifications. As a result, teams can prioritize and resolve critical issues more effectively.") and [Enrich automation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/4GImRp4FbaV8sSboo7rJ7Q "Alert enrichment involves transforming raw events from monitoring tools into a standard format, aiding automated grouping and response. This includes extracting fields from lengthy alert payloads or composing them into a standardized format. Additionally, you can create tags, which are metadata added to alerts for easier filtering and grouping.") in Service Operations Workspace, the updated way to automatically filter out irrelevant alerts, or to transform and standardize alert data for better response.

2. Open the event you want to simulate.
