Application Monitoring Action Policies

Action policies enable you to determine the actions you would like the system to perform when an instance or component transitions from one state to another. The state transition rules evaluate whether to permit the associated action to fire based on the amount of time the source was in a previous state. The action rules determine which action to fire, how long to wait in the target state before firing the action, and which blackout policy to apply. The blackout policy prohibits an action from firing during defined periods of time when activities such as server maintenance generate large numbers of actions that are not of interest.

To create an action policy:

1. Select SETTINGS > Application Monitoring > Application Monitoring Actions and Policies, then click Action Policies.
2. Click to launch the action policy configuration interface.
3. Configure the action policy as needed, then click Save. For additional information on configuration options, refer to the applicable action-specific topic referenced previously.

You can also click to edit an existing action or to delete the selected action from Application Monitoring.
