Running a script after an alert triggers

I have a web server than i'm monitoring with a Web Get alert. I want to be able to issue an IIS command when the alert triggers. How can I do this?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Eliud

Are you monitoring this in SAM (APM) or NPM? Either way, you should be able to set a trigger action of "Execute an external program" or "Execute an external VB Script" from Advanced Alert Manager and run any commands you need to.

Monitoring in APM. Where would the script/external file need to be placed? On the Orion server or the Node?

Usually these scripts are executed on the Orion server, but the script could be a call to run something else on another server. Also, if you are using a Linux Custom Script component monitor, you can take additional actions within your monitoring script based on the results (other than just reporting the problem).
