Effectors, Sensors, and Policies
Effectors, sensors, and policies are adjuncts attached to resources,
defining workflow steps
for various purposes:
- a
sensor
block uses the result of the workflow to set a sensor value on the resource - an
effector
block runs the workflow when the effector is explicitly invoked, either in the UI, by the REST API, or by a workflow - a
policy
block runs the workflow automatically according to the conditions, typically to check enforcement or take corrective action
The following attributes are typically used:
- a
period
and/or atrigger
should be specified for asensor
and apolicy
(not supported oneffector
, but one can use theinvoke-effector
step in sensor and policy workflows) parameter
blocks can be specified for aneffector
More information can be found in the AMP documentation for Workflow.
