Uptime Infrastructure Monitor uses action profiles to perform recovery steps when a service monitor returns a critical status. Action Profiles are templates that define an action to perform when a monitor encounters a problem and can be applied to one or more service monitors. 

An Action Profile allows you to specify: When

  • When to start and stop performing the action (escalations).

...

  • The name of the log file to which Uptime Infrastructure Monitor writes error information.

...

  • The name and location of a recovery script that can reboot a server or restart an application, process or service.

...

  •  
  • The name of a Windows host and service, as well as whether to start, stop or restart the host or service.

...

  • An SNMP trap to be sent to a specific traphost and trap community.

Use the following steps to create an action profile:

  1. Click on the Services tab.
  2. Click the Add Action Profile link on the left tree menu.
  3. Set up the action profile to perform the desired steps (e.g. log to file, run a script, start / stop Windows service, send an SNMP trap, etc.), and then click Save.

Next, attach the action profile to an existing service monitor with the following steps:

  1. Click on the Services tab.
  2. Locate the service monitor in the list, and then click its name (or click the View icon).

  1. Take LDAP Query, replace %s in the query with the name under LDAP Username
  2. Connect to LDAP using the distinguished name pointing to that user. If authentication fails (or user is not found), it will return "Invalid Credentials"
  3. On success, it takes LDAP Group Distinguished Name, and reads the object.
  4. If it can not find the object at all, it will output "No Group exists under that Distinguished Name."
  5. If it finds the object but the Group object is not under a domain name, it will not be able to read it and returns "Could not get members listing for Group Distinguished Name."
  6. If object is read, and the distinguished name in the object exists, the users are inserted into the local Uptime Infrastructure Monitor database
  7. If object is read, but it contains entries that do not link to a user, that particular user is skipped and not inserted into Uptime Infrastructure Monitor.
