16.4.4 Using JavaScript Actions
After an Action instance is configured, it can be selected in one or more of the following locations:

Event Menu Configuration on the Admin tab (to create right-click menu actions)

Actions tab when deploying a Correlation Rule (to be executed when a correlation rule fires)

Execute Incident Action within an Incident (to be executed within an incident)
However, not all JavaScript Actions are available in all contexts. The developer who creates the
JavaScript Action plugin can define the required inputs for a JavaScript action, which determines
what type of input it requires and in what contexts it can be used. For more information, see the
Table 16-1 on page 371 . For more information on using these actions, see Chapter 3, “Correlation
Tab,” on page 65 , Chapter 4, “Incidents Tab,” on page 93 , and Chapter 11, “Administration,” on
page 227 .
16.4.5 Developing JavaScript Actions
The information below is very basic development information about developing JavaScript Actions.
For more information, see
Novell Developer Community web site (http://developer.novell.com/
wiki/index.php?title=Develop_to_Sentinel) .
Creating a JavaScript Action
JavaScript Actions take advantage of the functionality and flexibility of the JavaScript language and
can be used to execute actions using Sentinel system methods to do things such as:

Start/Stop the Collectors

Add/Remove from Dynamic Lists

Get Current Event

Get Correlated Event

Get Correlation Event Collection

Get Incident

Execute actions using Integrators
The code sample below starts or stops a Collector based on information in the correlated event.
