Event actions

Event actions specify the action that IBM® Systems Director takes in response to a specific event or events. Using the Event Automation Plan wizard, you can easily create an event automation plan that will send you an e-mail or pager notification in response to an event. Additionally, the Event Automation Plan wizard provides other advanced event actions that you can use in response to an event.

IBM Systems Director has several predefined types of event actions. With the exception of "Add to the event log", you must customize each action that you want to use.
Note: When you upgrade from previous versions of IBM Director to IBM Systems Director 6.1 or later, the following event actions will no longer be supported:
  • Add a message to the console ticker tape
  • Send a message to a management console user

If you migrate an event action plan from IBM Director, version 5.20.3 or earlier, to IBM Systems Director 6.1 or later, these actions will be removed from the event automation plan. If the resulting event automation plan has no event actions remaining, the plan will be in a deactivated state.
