Actions management
After creating a trigger, you are prompted
to create or select an existing action; or you can click I’ll do this later.
Initially, the Actions page is blank when there aren’t any actions defined yet.
Clicking the Actions tab shows a summary of all configured actions:
Use the Actions page to:
- Create an action using the + New action button.
- View and sort a summary of actions, their maximum frequency,
number of associated triggers, and status.
- Search for an action.
- Pause and resume all enabled actions.
The Status column indicates whether a
particular action is individually enabled, disabled, or paused.
The Pause all actions toggle indicates
whether all enabled actions are currently paused.
- Edit or delete an
existing action.
Pause and resume all alerts actions
Pause all enabled alerts when necessary for maintenance or
troubleshooting reasons. The existing settings of individual
actions that are enabled or disabled is respected during pause and resume. Any
trigger conditions that are met and fired are ignored while paused, and all
enabled actions associated with a trigger are suppressed.
When ready, resume alerts again. The next time a trigger condition fires, its
enabled actions send their corresponding alerts.
Warning
If you stop and restart Confluent Platform or Control Center, the paused
actions resume and
become active again. Click the Pause all actions toggle
to pause the actions again.
To temporarily pause all alerts actions:
Click the Alerts bell icon in the top banner. The Alerts page
opens to the History tab by default.
Click the Actions tab.
Click the Pause all actions toggle. You are prompted to
confirm pausing all currently enabled actions.
Click Confirm. A check mark in the toggle indicates all enabled
actions are currently paused.
To resume paused alerts actions:

- Click Confirm. The Pause all alerts toggle is deactivated.
Disable or enable an individual alert action
When you create an action, it is enabled by default. Disable an
action if you do not
want it to be active. Pause and resume actions respect the disabled
setting for an action.
Resuming paused alerts does not activate disabled alert actions.
To disable an action:

opens to the History tab by default.
Click the Actions tab.
In the Name column, click the action you want to disable.

The toggle switches off and the action displays as
Disabled in the Status column.
Click Save.
To enable an action again, repeat the procedure and
click the Enabled/Disabled toggle again.
