    Spoke actions

    The Azure Traffic Manager Spoke provides actions to automate DNS-based traffic load-balancing tasks when events occur in your ServiceNow instance. Available actions include:

    Category Action Description
    Endpoint Management Create Endpoint Creates a Traffic Manager Endpoint.
    Delete Endpoint Deletes a Traffic Manager Endpoint.
    Look up Endpoint Retrieves the details of a Traffic Manager Endpoint.
    Update Endpoint Updates a Traffic Manager Endpoint.
    Profile Management Create Profile Creates a Traffic Manager Profile.
    Delete Profile Deletes a Traffic Manager Profile.
    Look up DNS Name Availability Checks the availability of a Traffic Manager Relative DNS name.

    Connection and credential alias requirements

    Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection. For more information, see Connections and Credentials.
