Q. How do I configure a Windows RMA (3.14) to perform an 'Action.'
RMA & Actions
First you should enable action execution. Use RMA Manager or rma_cfg utility for this purpose.
Then you should configure action (HostMonitor -> Profiles -> Action Profiles).

RegardsExecute by
Actions can be performed by HostMonitor or by Remote Monitoring Agent (RMA). "Execute by" option allows you to specify how and where action should be performed. You may select from the list one of the items:
- Test Performer
action will be executed by the same application that had performed the test (test that triggered alert reaction).
What this means? As you know test can be performed by HostMonitor or RMA. It is a usual situation when some tests performed by HostMonitor, while other tests performed by various agents. Single action profile is assigned to many different tests is usual as well. If some test fails and triggers alert reaction, action with "Test Performer" option specified will be executed by the same module (HostMonitor or RMA) that was specified for test execution. So, if HostMonitor performed the test, alert action will be executed by HostMonitor as well. If agent performed the test, action will be executed by the same agent.
- HostMonitor
action will be executed by HostMonitor
- Specific RMA
action will be executed by specific agent. You may select an agent from drop down list or click on a button (to the right of the field) to manage agent list.
Please note: not every action can be performed by agent. E.g. RMA does not support "Send e-mail", "Send message to pager" and some other actions. To read about agent's configuration and functionality, please, refer to RMA section of the manual.
