Using Workflows for Alert Actions
If a workflow requires a version of software that is newer than the version loaded on the
appliance, the attempt to upload the workflow will fail with a message explaining the mismatch.
Workflow Versioning - In addition to specifying the required version of the appliance
software, workflows themselves may be versioned with the version field. This string denotes
the major, minor and micro numbers of the workflow version, and allows multiple versions of
the same workflow to exist on the machine. When uploading a workflow, any compatible, older
versions of the same workflow are deleted. A workflow is deemed to be compatible if it has the
same major number, and a workflow is considered to be older if it has a lower version number.
Therefore, uploading a workflow with a version of "2.1" will remove the same workflow with
version "2.0" (or version "2.0.1") but not "1.2" or "0.1".
Using Workflows for Alert Actions
Workflows may be optionally executed as an alert. To allow a workflow to be eligible as an
alert action, its alert action must be set to true.
When executed as alert actions, workflows assume the identity of the user that created them.
For this reason, any workflow that is to be eligible as an alert action must set setid to true.
