Action Log

Action Log displays log records for triggered and scheduled tasks referred to in WhatsUp Gold as actions.

Each log message record contains the following data columns:

Date. Date and time for the event message.
Action. Specific action type that triggered. This string value corresponds to the name of the action in the Actions Library.
Category. Action category (failure, cancel, retry, or blacked out).
Device. Device that the action is assigned to.
Active Monitor. Active Monitor to which the action is assigned.
Passive Monitor. Passive Monitor to which the action is assigned.
Trigger State. State that caused the action to fire. The trigger state is determined when the Action is configured on the device.
Details. Log message string.

Note: At the bottom of the Action Log report, the record summary displays the total number of rows matching your filter criteria.

Note: When Only execute first action (for each state) option is selected, logging is skipped for all but the first state change. For these cases, a skipped due to priority message will be recorded in the log.

Example:* `Stop` (Matches log strings containing Stop, Stopped, Stopping*, and so on.)
