Specifying Alert Actions

In addition to sending alerts to specified users when a rule violation occurs, you can also specify SNMP alerts or Web service actions. For example, you can have Optimize send an SNMP alert when the rule is violated.

To specify additional actions to take when rule violations occur

1. In the Actions tab of the Add/Edit/Copy Rule page, click Add Action. Optimize adds a new row to the Actions table.

Note:
If actions have not been defined within Optimize, the message “No actions configured in the system” appears in the Actions tab. Actions are created and configured by the Optimize administrator. For more information, see Administering webMethods Optimize.

2. From the Action Name list, select the SNMP or Web service action to take when the rule is violated.

3. If you want to take this action as soon as a rule violation occurs, select the Enabled check box. If you do not want to take this action at this time, clear the check box.

4. To delete an action, click the check box in front of the name and click Delete.

5. Click Save to add the actions to the rule.
