About the Action Library

The Action Library displays all actions currently configured for use in WhatsUp Gold.

WhatsUp Gold includes five pre-configured actions. These actions are displayed in the Action Library. As you create new actions, they are added to the Action Library.

To access the Action Library:

• On the console, select Configure > Action Library.
• From the web interface, click GO. If the WhatsUp menu is not visible, click WhatsUp. Then, from the WhatsUp menu, select Configure > Action Library.

Use the Action Library to configure new or existing action types:

• Click New to configure a new action type.
• Select an action type, then click Edit to change its configuration.

  Note: If the action you are editing was previously created in the Alert Center, any changes that you make here will be made to the version of the action in the Alert Center Notification Library.

• Select an action type, then click Copy to make a duplicate of the selected action type.
• Select an action type, then click Delete to remove it from the library.

Caution: When you delete an action from the Action Library, all instances of that action are also deleted, and all related report data is lost.
