Manually initiate a workflow to remediate a CI that failed a CMDB health test. For
example, you can remediate CIs that are orphan or stale.
To manually apply a CMDB remediation, a CMDB remediation rule must exist, in which
Execution is set to
Manual.

Except for the duplicate and audit health metrics, you can
choose to create tasks for health test failures for a metric. To remediate failures
of the duplicate metric, use de-duplication tasks.
For all metrics except for audit, each CI
that failed a metric test is associated with a single task. Because a CI can fail
multiple audits, a single CI can be associated with multiple audit tasks. The first
of those tasks is in the Task field, and any additional tasks
are in the Additional Tasks field. To remediate failures of
the audit metric, refer to the audit tasks for the audits that the CI
failed.
