This section provides information about local actions and the Infrastructure Management supported out-of-the-box local actions.
Local actions are actions that you can execute on the computer you are working on. In earlier Infrastructure Management versions, you had to run a command or script to diagnose or solve an issue. Now, these commands are available on the UI in the form of local actions. To access local actions select Local Actions from the Tools menu. Local actions are based on user groups.
Out-of-the-box local actions for non-alarm and non-abnormality events
Infrastructure Management supports the following out-of-the-box local actions for non-alarm and non-abnormality events:
Ping Event Origin
Traceroute to Event Origin
Telnet to Event Origin
SSH to Event Origin
VNC to Event Origin
RDC to Event Origin
Show Local Action Environment
Out-of-the-box local actions for alarm and abnormality events
Infrastructure Management supports the same out-of-the-box local actions for non-alarm and non-abnormality events as well as alarm and abnormality events. The only difference is that the slot used to execute local actions for non-alarm and non-abnormality events ismc_origin whereas, for alarm and abnormality events, the slot is mc_host.
This documentation needs to point out that some of the local actions just contain place holder scripts, and will not actually do anything out of the box.
On Windows, there is no native ssh nor vnc client, so the 'ssh to event origin' and 'VNC to event origin' local actions just contain place holder scripts that do not do anything when running on Windows. The mc_vnc script for Linux/Unix is a place holder as well.
