How do I configure an alarm actions initiate a task (a saved script)

[Christopher_Tay]

I would like to know how to have an XMC alarm initiate a task once it is triggered.

I am running XMC version 8.3.2.11.

I have written a script that disables one WLAN and then enables another WLAN.

I have saved the script as a task and when run manually or scheduled works perfectly.

What I would like to do is have the task run when an XMC alarm is triggered.  I have created an alarm that sends an email when the WAN interface of one of my routers becomes unavailable.  The alarm also works fine.
In the alarm creation dialog box under “actions” there is a spot for “add task action” and has a “task” drop down list, however there are only certain system created workflows available in the drop down list.

How do I get the task I have created to appear in that drop down list?  

Do I need to save it somewhere different or give it a certain variable when saving?

Does the “task” need to be a workflow and if it does is there a special way to save it?

Or am I looking at this wrong and there is another way to accomplish what I want to do?

Thank you

Chris

Hi,

I am sure this option was in the product. I can not find it in 8.3.

What version are you running?

Thank you for the reply

Do you know if there is a way to add just a task not a workflow to the Alarm menu?

Open your workflow. Do not select any activity. On the right hand side there is “Menus”. You need to select “alarm” in the menu and save the workflow.

the workflow will appear in alarm actions then.
