Actions	Ultra	Pro	Lite
Action List Groups of actions for common notifications, group notifications, etc.
Call URL This action will call a URL you specify, optionally posting information about the current alert. This makes it easy to connect to a helpdesk/ticketing system.
Desktop Notifier Delivers alerts to Windows desktops via a pop-up message box or a slider in the lower right corner of the screen.
Dial-Up Connection Connects or disconnects a Windows Dial-up Connection. Typically this is for servers that are not on the Internet, but need to connect to send alerts.
E-mail Alert Sends SMTP email messages to mail boxes, cell phones, mobile devices, etc. The E-mail action has Alert Digests which are a powerful/friendly feature that combines multiple alerts that happen within a short time into a single email notification. This can be very helpful when something goes really wrong. You can easily specify when messages should be sent or suppressed.
Execute Script Similar to the Execute Script monitor, this Action lets you extend the list of available actions via your own script written in VBScript. Many variables from the source monitor are also available for creating rich, situation-specific responses.
Message Box A simple message box that displays monitor findings. These message boxes are smart: if there are many pending alerts you can easily dismiss them all at once.
Monitor-Directed Email The monitor which detects a problem specifies the email address to use for each alert. This is very useful when sending reminders and alerts to end users such as with the User Quota Monitor and the Directory Quota Monitor.
Network Message (Net Send) Sends a message box containing the critical monitor details to every place that you are logged in.
Pager Alert via SNPP Send monitor results to pagers via standard Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP). You can easily specify when messages should be sent or suppressed, and the content of the message.
PagerDuty Integration Send alerts directly to your PagerDuty account and track them using the full power of the PagerDuty platform.
Phone Dialer (DTMF/SMS) Dials a modem/phone and optionally sends DTMF commands or other commands (to send SMS messages for example). This is typically used by a disconnected server to send an alert over a normal phone line (where the CallerID identifies the server)
Play Sound Audible alert when monitors detect a problem with the server.
Reboot Server Reboots the server if a monitor has detected a critical system failure.
Rocket Launcher Launch foam USB rockets as another form of alert.
Run Report When this action is triggered, it will run the specified Scheduled Report including sending any emails or saving PDF or CSV files that report requires.
SMS Text Message Send SMS text messages to your mobile device via your service providers SMS Internet gateway (SMPP server). You can control which information gets sent, as well as when messages are allowed.
SNMP Trap Sends an SNMP Trap with details from the monitor firing the action
Start Application Starts a specified application when the monitor triggers actions
Start Service Sends control messages to the Windows Service Control Manager to start, stop or restart a specified service.
