When you apply active monitors, you typically associate an action and a device state with changes observed by the monitor. There are three main categories of built-in action types available through the Actions Library. Actions can be triggered or scheduled.

Note: Certain actions (CM Actions, for example) can be invoked on demand (Run Now).

Built-in action types include:

  • Notifications. Send messages to stakeholders and responsible individuals according to site policy.
  • Remote execution. Create scripts, execute remote programs, and apply configuration changes.
  • Log. Include state change observed by WhatsUp Gold in platform logs.
