An event action plan associates one or more event filters with one or more actions.
For example: an event action plan can be created to send a page to the network administrator's pager if an event with a severity level of critical or fatal is received by the %ProductServerName%. You can include as many event filter and action pairs as needed in a single event action plan.
An event action plan is activated only when you apply it to a system or group. If an event targets a system to which the plan is applied and that event meets the filtering criteria defined in the plan, the associated actions are performed. Multiple event filters can be associated with the same action, and a single event filter can be associated with multiple actions.
The list of action templates you can use to define actions are listed in the Actions pane of the Event Action Plan Builder window.
Creating an Event Action Plan describes how to create event actions, filters, and event action plans.
