## 6.7 Setting an action at a server in the event of an alert

You can set that a specific action is to be taken at a server (such as powering down or rebooting) when an alert occurs. If this action is saved in the alert attribute file, the file can be read by other servers.

To set an action to be performed at a server in the event of an alert:

1. From the Host Management window, select a server for which notification of alerts has been set.
   Select only one server. You cannot select multiple servers.
2. From the Setting menu, choose Agent Service Settings.
3. Click the Each Alert Attribute tab.

4. Read the settings from the alert attribute file.
   To read the settings from the alert attribute file before setting the server action, click the Read button. For details, see 6.9 Reading and saving alert attribute settings.
5. From List of alerts, select the alert for which an action at the server is to be set.
   The List of alerts displays only those alerts that can be sent by the selected server.
6. Set Server operation when event occurs.
   Select the power control option at the server and whether the active process is to be forcibly terminated when the event occurs.
   Forced termination of process is enabled only when Power off, Reboot, or Shutdown is selected.
   Forced process termination means that a forced termination instruction is to be sent to each process that is running at the server during shutdown processing that is performed as part of the server action (such as Power off, Reboot, or Shutdown).
7. Save the settings in the alert attribute file.
   To save the settings that you have specified so far, click the Save button to save them in the alert attribute file. For details, see 6.9 Reading and saving alert attribute settings.
8. Click the OK button.
   The settings take effect immediately after the OK button is clicked.

Notes
  Once the server action defined for the event is executed, the settings are reset (the action will not occur again). Therefore, if you want the action to be executed the next time the same alert occurs, you must specify the settings again after the server action has executed.
