Action
This screen lets you configure an action based on Adaptive CLI actions available in the system.
Select an action. To search for an action, specify search criteria and then click Go. The parameters
available vary depending on the selected action. Tooltips provide additional information when you
hover over a field.
Optionally select the action device target from the list. If you do not specify an explicit target,
OpenManage Network Manager uses the default entity for the event as the target.
You can specify parameter variables, dependent on the event, rule, and selected targets specifics.
Do this with either NOTIFICATION or VARBIND.
The following are valid attributes to use in a phrase like
[[NOTIFICATION: <attr name>]] :
•TypeOID
•AlarmOID
•EntityOID
•EquipMgrOID
• DeviceIP
•SourceIP
•EntityName
NOTE:
Consult the relevant portlet to find and verify an OID. For example, the Event Definitions portlet has an OID
column, and the varbind OIDs appear in the event editor Message Template window.
Correct spelling is mandatory, and these are case sensitive. NOTIFICATION and VARBIND must
be all caps, and within double brackets. The colon and space after the key word are required.
OpenManage Network Manager converts anything that conforms to these rules and then passes the
converted information into the action before execution. Anything outside the double square
brackets passes verbatim.
