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

  • Autoregistration 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 page title dropdown select the required action type

  • Click on Create action

  • Name the action

  • Choose conditions upon which operations are carried out

  • Choose the operations to carry out
