While Alert Center displays alerts on the Alerts Home page and in email notifications, there
are many different types of tasks you can perform using actions. Actions allow you to restart
services, reboot systems, send text messages, and perform many other tasks. Used together,
Alert Center and actions help you more thoroughly support and manage your network.
For more information on alerting through actions, see Using Actions (on page 271).
For more information on alerting through Alert Center, see Using Notification Policies.
