2 Actions

Overview

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:

  • Trigger events - when trigger status changes from OK to PROBLEM and back
  • Discovery events - when network discovery takes place
  • Auto registration events - when new active agents auto-register (or host metadata changes for registered ones)
  • Internal events - when items become unsupported or triggers go into an unknown state

Configuring an action

To configure an action, do the following:

  • Go to Configuration → Actions
  • From the Event source dropdown select the required source
  • Click on Create action
  • Name the action
  • Choose conditions upon which operations are carried out
  • Choose the operations to carry out
  • Choose the recovery operations to carry out

All mandatory input fields are marked with a red asterisk.
