Action examples

This section illustrates a number of action examples.

Send an alert to the Monitor Console

The action shown in the figure above sends an alert to the TMTM Monitor Console and performs no further action.

Send an e-mail message

The figure below contains two e-mail nodes and an alert node. Recall that the right-side output terminals are the failure paths.

Because the trigger has already evaluated to true an action is taken. The first action is the first e-mail node. If that fails for any reason (SMTP server is unavailable), the action tries the next action node--the second e-mail node. The second e-mail node is configured to use a different SMTP server. If that fails for any reason, then an alert is sent to the TMTM Monitor Console (defined in the final action node).

Time-based actions

The figure below shows a time-based action. Like all other action nodes, time-based actions have two outputs: success and failure. The success flow is followed if the current time is within the duration specified for the node, otherwise execution flows down failure. The example in the figure below shows that an alert to the TMTM Monitor Console is sent (success) or an e-mail notice is sent (failure).
