An action is a predefined, reusable, and automated response to a health violation or an anomaly detection. You can create an HTTP Request action as a response to the health violation or when anomaly is detected. 

Actions are not tested automatically when you create them. You need to link them to a health rule or an anomaly detection configuration to test them. Cisco Cloud Observability does not track the responses received post the action execution. 

You can configure an action to execute any of the following triggers (health violation event) in a health rule and an anomaly detection configuration:

  • Violation Started: Warning
  • Violation Started: Critical
  • Violation Upgraded: Warning to Critical
  • Violation Downgraded: Critical to Warning
  • Violation Continues: Warning
  • Violation Updated: Warning
  • Violation Continues: Critical
  • Violation Updated: Critical
  • Violation Ended: Critical to Normal
  • Violation Ended: Warning to Normal
  • Violation Cancelled: Warning
  • Violation Cancelled: Critical
