If you want some operations taking place as a result of events (for example, notifications sent), you need to configure actions.
Actions can be defined in response to events of all supported types:
To configure an action, do the following:
General action attributes:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Name | Unique action name. |
Default subject | Default message subject. The subject may contain macros. |
Default message | Default message. The message may contain macros. |
Recovery message | Mark the checkbox to turn on a Recovery message. Recovery message is a special way of getting notified for a resolved problem. If turned on, only a single message with a custom subject/body is sent if trigger value changes to OK. Note: To receive a recovery message, "Trigger value=Problem" must be present in action conditions; "Trigger value=OK", however, must not be present. (If "Trigger value=OK" is set, the recovery message will not work; instead you will get a full escalation of defined messages and/or remote commands in the same way as for a problem situation). Recovery message will be sent only to those who received any messages regarding the problem before. A recovery message inherits acknowledgment status and history from the problem event (such as when expanding {EVENT.ACK.HISTORY} and {EVENT.ACK.STATUS} macros). If using {EVENT.*} macros in a recovery message, they will refer to the problem event (not the OK event). {EVENT.RECOVERY.*} macros will only expanded in a recovery message and will refer to the recovery/OK event. |
Recovery subject | Recovery message subject. It may contain macros. |
Recovery message | Recovery message. It may contain macros. |
Enabled | Mark the checkbox to enable the action. Otherwise it will be disabled. |
