7.2.1 Adding Actions

You can add multiple actions and then associate these actions to the rules. The Rules column under
the Actions tab displays the number of rules associated with each action.
This section describes how you can add actions of the following action types:
"Executing a Script" on page 115
"Writing the Events to a File" on page 116
"Sending the Events to Syslog" on page 116
"Sending the Events by an E-Mail" on page 117
"Sending the SNMP Traps" on page 118
"Sending the Events to a Sentinel Link" on page 119
Executing a Script
All Sentinel Log Manager events that meet the filter criteria for which the Execute a Script action is
defined are passed as argument to the same script.
To configure the Execute a Script action, you need to specify the path of the script that will be
executed. The script must already exist and the novell user must have permissions to execute it.
