Trigger and Resolve Actions

To configure the sequence of actions taken in the event of the trigger condition:
• For a nominated Auto-Response - with a defined Check Condition - click on Add Trigger Action (e.g. Send Email or Run
Custom Script) to select the action type to be taken. Then configure the selected action (as detailed in the following
sections)
• Each action is configured with a nominated Action Delay Time which specifies how long (in seconds) after the Auto-
Response trigger event to wait before performing the action. So you can add follow-on actions to create a sequence of
actions that will be taken in the event of the one trigger condition
• To edit (or delete) an existing action, click the Modify (or Delete) icon in the Scheduled Trigger Action table
Note: A message text can be sent with Email, SMS and Nagios actions. This configurable message can include selected values:
$AR_TRIGGER_VAL = the trigger value for the check e.g. for UPS Status, it could be onbatt or battlow
$AR_VAL = the value returned by the check e.g. for ups status, it could be online/onbatt/battlow
$AR_CHECK_DEV = the device name of the device being checked e.g. for Alarm, the alarm name
$TIMESTAMP = the current timestamp
$HOSTNAME = the hostname of the console server
The default message text is: $TIMESTAMP: This action was run - Check details: value $AR_VAL vs trigger value $AR_TRIGGER_VAL
