A Playbook is configured to auto-remediate high severity alerts, but no remediation actions are being Triggered. What is the most likely explanation?

In Prism Central playbooks the Autopilot switch governs whether an action is executed automatically or only shown as a “Recommended Action.” If Autopilot is disabled the trigger is still evaluated and an alert is generated, but the remediation task is never run until a user approves it. Therefore, when a playbook that is supposed to auto-remediate high-severity alerts performs no action, the most common and intended cause is that Autopilot is turned off.

A. Trigger mismatch would keep the playbook from firing at all, yet the scenario states it is configured for high-severity alerts; lack of action despite firing points to Autopilot, not the trigger.
B. Mis-defined remediation steps would cause failures or errors, not total absence of execution; the question stresses “no actions are being triggered.”
D. Alert severity being medium contradicts the given “high severity” requirement; this is a red-herring and not pertinent to execution flow.
