Adding Actions

The Actions dialog is pictured below. (Depending on the features of the monitor being configured, the dialog may look slightly different than the one pictured below).

Adding Actions PA File Sight

On the left are shown all of the actions that are attached to this specific monitor. When the monitor 'fires actions' it will run that list of actions in the order shown. You can change the order with the blue up and down arrow buttons.

On the right is a list of all actions that are defined so far. These actions could be used by any monitor.

If you need an action that isn't listed (for example another email action, or a Start Application action), click the "New ..." button above the list of global actions.

You can edit actions in this list, and changes made will be reflected in every monitor that is using that action.

To add (or attach) an action to a monitor, simply select the action in the global list on the right, and press the green Adding Actions Move Button button to move the action to the left monitor-specific list, to the Do Immediately node. (Other nodes may be shown for monitors that support event escalation)
