Introduction

Of course, more advanced tasks can be carried out, such as alerts on events, correlation, etc. The first alert to create is sending an email when one of the monitored machines goes offline (with the Host alive module).

Pandora FMS alerts are made up by three elements:

Command.
Action.
Template.

In this particular case, a predefined command will be used (email forwardingt), an existing action will be modified (Mail to XXX) and an existing template will also be used, template Critical condition, that will execute the task when the module itself goes into critical state.
