One of the possible response options is the automatic creation of a ticket. For information on how to configure the Ticket Details in a monitor or a Monitoring policy in the legacy UI, refer to Create a monitor. For information on how to configure a ticket response in a monitor in the New UI, refer to Create a ticket.
