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:

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 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 click its name (or click the View icon).
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Edit Action Profiles button.
  4. Add the appropriate Action Profile to the right list and click the Save button.
