Alerts provides the following action types when an alert is raised:Email Alerts
- Email. Alerts sends a user-defined message to a user-defined recipient. You can set an email action per instance level or per metric.
- Message
...
- Box. Alerts displays a user-defined message in a pop-up box on each running Alerts user interface.
...
- Program. Alerts runs a user-defined program that is stored in the directory:
...
<i3_
...
root>\products\pulse\userprograms.
SNMP Informs your management framework of any changes in the metric status. MOM Alerts sends an alert to the MOM server console.
...
• Your program must be located in the directory:
<i3_root>\products\pulse\userprograms
on the server where you want to activate the program action, if you choose to run it in the Alerts agent server.
...
7. To run programs on the instance side, copy the pulseprogram executable from the directory: Utilities\alerts\AlertsProgs\Win\Pulseprogram.exe on the Precise DVD to the directory:
<i3_root>\products\pulse\bin on the instance server.
If you call another program, or write into a log file, the active directory is the Precise root directory (not the directory:
<i3_root>\products\pulse\userprograms).
Do not set a path for running a program in another directory.
...
Examples for using dynamic parameters in Program actions can be found in the directory:
<i3_root>\products\pulse\userprograms.
The following examples are provided:

Alerts FocalPoint creates the MIB file and displays its status (success or failure) on the standard output. The newly created MIB file name is InformForAlertsMib.mib and is stored in the following directory:
<i3_root>\products\pulse\userprograms
Information about the MIB creation process can be found in the log file:
<i3_root>\logs\alerts.mibbuilder.log
To create an MIB file
• On the server that Alerts FocalPoint is installed, run the following command, according to the server operating system, from the Precise root directory:
On a Windows NT server <i3 <i3_root>\products\pulse\pulsefocal\bin\ createalertsmib.bat
On a Linux or UNIX server <i3 <i3_root>/products/pulse/pulsefocal/bin/ createalertsmib.sh
Enabling the Get operation
...
To cause the SNMP trap to act as in version 7.5, add the following parameter to the Alerts FocalPoint registry, and then restart the Alerts FocalPoint:
....\products\i3fp\registry\products\alerts\pulsefocal.xml
Pulsefocal\snmp\trap
<oldTrapStyle>YES</oldTrapStyle>
...
Save the host script in the server machine where the sampled instance is running, in the directory:
<i3_root>\products\pulse\userprograms.
Although the root directory of the running script is <i3_root>, the program runs from the userprograms directory.
...
The examples for Windows scripts, whose file names end with _example, are listed in the following tables. These files can be found also in any server where InformPoint is installed, in the directory:
<i3_root>\products\pulse\userprograms
The table below shows an example of customized metrics with a single value.
...
The examples for UNIX/Linux shell scripts, which their file names end with _example, are listed in the following tables. These files can be found also in any server where InformPoint is installed, in the directory:
<i3_root>/products/pulse/userprograms.
The table below shows an example of customized metrics with a single value for UNIX or Linux scripts.
