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
