Make sure the additional packages are set as shown above.

2. Set the following variables as required and save the task:

shutdownDays = 90    #Number of days before sending the notification
port = 587  # Email server starttls port
smtp_server = "smtp.office365.com" #SMTP server 
sender_email = "myemail@outlook.com" #Senders email address
email_password=c.get("secret/mypass000") #Set the email password in Morpheus cypher

3. Create an execution schedule by navigating to Library >> Automation >> Execute Scheduling.

4. Create a task execution job via Provisioning >> Jobs and select the task and execution schedule created above.

Morpheus will now run the task on the scheduled times and notify the owners if the instances have been off for set number of days.
