| Action Name | Description |
|---|---|
| log.logtype() | Log the event to a file, as plain text or in JSON format |
| script.scriptname() | Execute a user-defined script, possibly capturing the output |
| escalate.policyname() | Mark this event for escalation using a particular escalation policy |
| email(contactname) | Email the event details to a particular contact |
| syslog.targetserver(prio) | Send the event as Syslog message to a Syslog server, optionally overriding the event priority |
| nmissyslog.targetserver(prio) | Send the event as Syslog message to an NMIS Syslog server, in the format expected by NMIS |
| priority(adjustment) | Change the priority of the event Adjustment can be a number between 0 and 10 for fixed assignment, or +number or -number for relative adjustment. |
| tag.tagname(value) | Set a custom event property's value for static enrichment. Tagname is the name of the property to modify and must be a single string without spaces. Values are not restricted. (In the database the custom tag will be stored as "tag_tagname", hence you cannot overwrite opEvents-internal properties with this action. As a consequence, if your policy has IFs that need a tag's value, then these need to reference the tag with the 'long form' "tag_tagname".) In opEvents 2.0.2 and newer the tagname " kb_topic" is special and controls linking to external data sources. |
| acknowledge() | Acknowledges the event in question (which stops all escalation activity for the event). Supported in opEvents 2.0.3 and newer. |
| watchdog.set(waittime) watchdog.disable() | Creates or updates a watchdog timer for the node associated with the current event. The timer is set to expire in waittime seconds from now. If the timer is not disabled or updated before the expiration time, then a synthetic event named "Watchdog Timer expired" is generated. Note that all four watchdog actions are disabled if the current event itself is a watchdog expiration event. |
| element_watchdog.set(waittime) element_watchdog.disable() | Similar to the previous, but for watchdog timers that are specific to both the node and the element (e.g. an interface) of the current event. Element watchdog timers are independent of node watchdogs and of each other: Updating or disabling an element watchdog for say, eth1 doesn't affect a timer for lo0 for the same node. |
| show_button.value() | Adds a tag to the buttons array for then event. You can use this to show different actionable buttons for different event types. See more at opEvents Programmable Button Actions |
