Responding to alarms

An action list is a collection of actions executed in response to an alarm count. Every monitor in Network Monitor has an action list, either defined directly by a monitor's properties, or indirectly by a object's properties. For each alarm count in an alarm list, Network Monitor executes all actions specified for that alarm count. It is possible—and common— to define several actions for the same alarm count.

Actions example

In the example above, there are two actions shown. The first action, for the first alarm, is a Send email action. The next action, configured for the fifth alarm, is a Send SMS action.

For details on how to edit and configure action lists and actions, see the Action lists topic.
