Note Node Settings override any other Actions settings for this incident, except those configured on the Interface Settings tab.
NNMi enables you to configure incident actions based on a Source Node's participation in a Node Group.
You can also configure incident actions based on either of the following:
- The Source Object's participation in an Interface Group. See Configure Incident Actions for an Interface Group (SNMP Trap Incident) for more information.
- Incident configuration default settings without specifying a Node or Interface Group. See Configure Actions for an SNMP Trap Incident for more information.
You can configure actions to automatically run at any point in the incident lifecycle. For example, you might want to configure an action to occur when an incident of the type you are configuring is generated (Registered). When an incident is generated, you might want to automatically open a trouble ticket or send email or page your network operator. After the incident is Closed, you might want to automatically close the trouble ticket.
Note Your actions will not be executed until you enable the Actions configuration by either clicking Enable 
on the Actions tab or using the Actions → Enable Configuration option.
You can configure actions for incidents generated from SNMP traps and NNMi management events. Any time an incident configuration changes, the action directory is rescanned and any executable or script files (for example, Jython) are reloaded to the NNMi database. See Lifecycle Transition Action Form (SNMP Trap Incidents) for more information about the actions directory.
Tip Copy any required executable or script files to the NNMi actions directory before you configure an incident action. New or updated actions are loaded into NNMi only when an incident configuration is updated or created. See Lifecycle Transition Action Form (SNMP Trap Incidents) for the location of the NNMi action directory.
When the defined Incident Action runs, output is logged to the incidentActions.*.*.log file. See Verify that NNMi Services are Running for more information about log files and where they are located.
