8.2 Executing automated actions and taking necessary steps
You can automatically execute an action (command) when a certain JP1 event is received. This function is called the automated action function. You can execute an action not only on the host on which the definition of automated actions is stored, but also on an agent host or manager host.
For details about how to define automated actions, see the following sections:
-
For setting up automated actions (using the GUI)
See 3.32 Action Parameter Definitions window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager GUI Reference.
-
For setting up automated actions (using a definition file)
See Automated action definition file (actdef.conf) (in Chapter 2. Definition Files) in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
The following three types of status checks can be executed on automated actions:
-
Checking the execution status of an automated action
Checks whether a problem has occurred during execution of the automated action.
-
Checking the execution result of the automated action and the operation needed (cancellation or re-execution of the automated action)
Checks the execution result of the automated action that was executed. Additionally, checks detailed information or initiates manual re-execution of the automated action as needed.
-
Checking the operating status of the automated action function
Checks whether the automated action function is working. If not, automated actions cannot be executed.
The following subsections explain how to perform these checks and automated actions.
