2 Actions

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

The key differences of service actions are:

User access to service actions depends on access rights to services granted by user's role
Service actions support different set of conditions

To configure an action, do the following:

Go to Alerts → Actions and select the required action type from the submenu (you can switch to another type later, using the title dropdown)
Click on Create action
Name the action
Choose conditions upon which operations are carried out
Choose the operations to carry out

General action attributes:

All mandatory input fields are marked with a red asterisk.
