Application Monitor Triggers
Overview
The Application Monitor Trigger allows you to trigger one or more tasks based on the status of:
A specific application resource.
One or more application resources, based on selection criteria you supply.
You can launch any number of tasks when the conditions in the trigger are satisfied.
When creating a trigger, if you specify Application Monitor Condition = All, and select all Application types, the trigger monitors all Application resource records you have defined. Any time any one of them goes to any of the statuses you specified in the Status(es) field, the trigger launches the task(s) specified in the Task(s) field. For example, you might use this trigger to send an email notification to technical support if any of the monitored applications goes into the Start Failure status.
Built-In Variables
Application Monitor built-in variables are provided to pass information about the Application being monitored into the task(s) being launched by the trigger. You can pass the information into the launched tasks by including the variables in a text field in the task definition.
