You can use this action to make sure that something happens repeatedly
or within a given amount of time. After the timer expires and the program
is started, the monitoring process of this event action stops. For
example, you can monitor for a system to go offline. If the system does not
return online within a given amount of time, you can failover to a backup
system.
Note: You also can stop the monitoring process by setting the timer value
to 0. This capability is useful if you want to stop the
process without deleting the event action or the event automation plan.
Tip: You can use event-data-substitution variables in the
following fields: Timed alarm ID, Program file name, and Working directory.
