Each test has one or more related actions. An action is the consequence of evaluation of a rule, such as an alert message or a custom script. Whenever the rule receives information from its data source, tests are evaluated. If a test evaluates to true, the related actions are triggered. Once triggered, actions are performed unless advanced options delay or prevent the action.
Advanced action options add flexibility in timing when an action is performed. For example, using advanced options you can automate problem escalation procedures.
