Build a Custom Action
You can set up a custom action on the Controller instance to integrate notification of Splunk AppDynamics On-Premises health rule violations and events with an alerting or ticketing system. Use a push approach by creating custom notifications that pass the information to your alerting system.
Custom Notifications and Custom Actions
A custom notification lets you integrate alerts about health rule violations and events into your own alerting system. This integration extension requires:
- A custom.xml file that provides information about the custom notification.
- An executable script that accepts parameters from Splunk AppDynamics On-Premises about the events and health rule violations that trigger an alert.
- Configuring Splunk AppDynamics On-Premises events or policies to trigger the custom notification via a custom action.
Build Custom Actions for Virtual Appliance
For the Virtual Appliance, manage custom actions using CLI commands. These commands reference the contents of /home/appduser/ and automatically update the custom.xml file and actions folder at the following location:
/var/appd/data/custom-actions Note:
Do not manually update the /var/appd/data/custom-actions/actions folder.
