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 actions - for events when trigger status changes from OK to PROBLEM and back
  • Discovery actions - for events when network discovery takes place
  • Autoregistration actions - for events when new active agents auto-register (or host metadata changes for registered ones)
  • Internal actions - for 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
  • Select action type (Trigger, Discovery, Autoregistration, Internal) from the title dropdown
  • Click on Create action
  • Name the action
  • Choose conditions upon which operations are carried out
  • Choose the operations to carry out
