Actions are the method you use to configuration changes on managed objects that you initiate from VMware Aria Operations. These actions are available to add to alert recommendations.
Actions are defined to run on the target object from different object levels, allowing you to add actions as recommendations for alert definitions that are configured for different base objects. The Actions page is a list of actions available in your environment.
