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
- Service actions - for events when service 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

- In the Configuration menu section, click on Actions and select the required action type from the submenu that appears. (You can also use the title dropdown to switch between action types later.)
