Dispatchers
Dispatchers are triggered by state transitions evaluated by the Automata Engine.
They are used to connect monitoring alerts with operational workflows such as notifications, ticket creation, or automated responses.
Purpose
When specific monitoring conditions occur, dispatchers can automatically trigger predefined actions.
This allows the platform to react quickly to operational events without manual intervention.
Dispatcher Management
Dispatchers can be accessed through the Dispatcher button available in the Tree Hierarchy View.
Selecting this button opens the Active Dispatchers modal.
From this interface users can:
- view active dispatchers
- configure new dispatchers
- modify existing dispatcher rules
- disable or remove dispatchers
Typical Use Cases
Dispatchers are commonly used to:
- send notifications when alerts occur
- trigger incident management workflows
- forward alerts to external systems
- automate operational responses
Relationship with Monitoring
Dispatchers operate on top of the monitoring system and respond to events generated by metrics and alert conditions.
They represent the automation layer that connects monitoring data with operational actions.
