Create actions for policies in a diagnostic system module

Before you begin

Create diagnostic system modules


To create an action:

  1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
  2. In the left pane, expand Diagnostics and select Diagnostic Modules.
  3. On the Summary of Diagnostic Modules page, click the name of the module containing the policy or policies for which you want to create an action.
  4. On the Settings for [Module Name] page, select Configuration > Policies and Actions > Actions.
  5. Click New.
  6. On the Create Action page, select an action type from the Type list:
    • Select SMTP (E-Mail) to create an action that will deliver a notification through e-mail.
    • Select JMS Message to create an action that will deliver a notification through JMS.
    • Select Diagnostic Image to capture a diagnostic image.
    • Select JMX Action to create an action that will deliver a notification through JMX.
    • Select SNMP Trap to create an SNMP trap.
    • Select Thread Dump to create an action that generates a specified number of thread dumps when specific runtime conditions occur.
    • Select Heap Dump to create an action that generates a heap dump when specific runtime conditions occur.
    • Select Scale Up to create an action that will expand a dynamic cluster by a specified number of dynamic server instances.
    • Select Scale Down to create an action that will reduce a dynamic cluster by a specified number of dynamic server instances.
    • Select Script to create a script execution action.
    • Select REST to create an action that will deliver a notification through REST.

    Note: Only one scaling action can be assigned to a given policy.

  7. Click Next.
  8. Enter a name for the action in the Action Name field.
  9. Enter the timeout period in the Timeout (in seconds) field. The timeout period is the length of time, in seconds, that an action has to complete execution before WebLogic Server attempts to cancel it. By default, the timeout period is 0, which disables the action timeout.
  10. To enable or disable the action, select or deselect the Enable Action box, as appropriate.
  11. Click Next. The page that is displayed next is different for each of the different action types, listed above.
    For more information, see:
  12. Click Finish when you are done creating your new action.
  13. In the Change Center, click Activate Changes.
