Alert Actions
Alert actions are triggered when an incoming alert matches the specific criteria defined in the alert action.
The criteria for matching the alert include:
• Alert severity. See Severity Association.
• Alert category or source. See Category and Sources Association.
• Alert device or device group source. See Device Association.
• Alert date, time, or day of week. See Date and Time Range.
There are four types of alert actions:
• Alert Application Launch Action — Launch a script or batch file when the alert action criteria is
matched.
• Alert Email Action — Send an e-mail when the alert action criteria is matched.
• Alert Ignore Action — Ignore the alert when the alert action criteria is matched.
• Alert Trap Forward Action — Forward the SNMP Trap to another management console when the alert
action criteria is matched.
By default, new alert actions are enabled. If you want to turn off the alert action without deleting it, you
can disable it either through the right-click menu or the edit wizard for the alert action.
