> #### Defining actions for alerts

> Fathom allows you to associate actions with each alert. Possible actions include:

> - An e-mail notification. This action can be used to send e-mail to one or more operators, or to send a message that can display on electronic devices that support a text message display such as a computer display, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), pager, or cell phone.
> - The running of a defined job. This action can be used to perform a recovery procedure to remedy the alert condition.
> - An update to a log file.

> For example, you can configure an e-mail action to send a message to the operator responsible for the resource on which an error occurred. You can also configure an alert to send e-mail to the responsible operator and execute a particular command at the same time. For detailed steps on creating actions and associating alerts with them, see the appropriate sections in the Resource Monitoring Guide.
