The action properties page

The properties displayed depend on the action selected. For a reference to all actions and their settings, see the Action reference chapter.

Action properties

There is only one common property among all actions and that is the Alarm number setting. The Alarm number setting specifies the alarm count a monitor must be equal to, to execute this action.

After all required information for the action has been entered, click the Save button and the new action will be created and added to the action list.

Editing an action

To edit an existing action, click the properties icon next to the action.

Testing actions

Some actions have a Test action section in their property page. This allows you to test the current action as if it was executed by Network Monitor in response to an alarm, and is a great way to verify that the action is configured correctly. To test the action, expand the Test action configuration section, and select a monitor from the list. Click the Test action button to perform the test.

Deleting an action

To delete an existing action, select the action on the list and choose the Delete command. The operator must confirm the delete operation.
