The alert and respond features work across Splunk AppDynamics products, including Infrastructure Visibility, Analytics, EUM, and Application Monitoring. Unless otherwise noted, this section describes the features in the context of Application Monitoring, which, by its nature, offers the broadest range of configuration and use case options. Specific features as described may not apply to other Splunk AppDynamics products.

Additional usage notes include:

• Policy triggers for applications can be health rule violation events or other types of events. Policy triggers for databases and analytics must be health rule violation events.
• The types of actions that you can create for an application include notifications, diagnostics, remediation, HTTP requests, custom actions, and cloud auto-scaling. The types of actions that you can create for a database or analytics are limited to notifications, HTTP requests, and custom actions.
• The types of entities affected by a health rule are more limited for databases and analytics than for applications.
• For information on using policies triggered by browser synthetic events, see 'Alerting and Synthetics' in Browser Synthetic Monitoring.
