#### Overview

If you want some operations taking place as a result of events (for
example, notifications sent), you need to configure actions.

Actions can be defined in response to events of all supported types:

-   Trigger actions - for events when trigger status changes from *OK*
    to *PROBLEM* and back
-   Discovery actions - for events when network discovery takes place
-   Autoregistration actions - for events when new active agents
    auto-register (or host metadata changes for registered ones)
-   Internal actions - for events when items become unsupported or
    triggers go into an unknown state
