How do I call an external command in zenoss, and pass it certain values from the Event? For example, I've got a script that passes an event and certain details of that event into another system. The script is on the zenoss system, and I want to execute it. How do I set that up?

I saw in a previous post that this was an enhancement that was added some time back, I've skimmed over the 3 manuals, but a specific link would help tremendously.

Thanks,
Sean

Search the manuals for "event command" if you want to execute the command in response to an event.

Thanks for that MW. I did find that in the manual eventually. Before I ask any more questions, I'll read through that section.
