An action is a script, binary, or executable that makes changes to a host. You can categorize your actions as Pre, Post, Macro, or Probes.
Pre- Actions
Pre-Actions are scripts that are run on managed hosts before the job tasks are carried out.
Post Actions
Post Actions are scripts that are run on managed hosts after the job tasks are carried out.
Probes
You can run test on hosts to ensure that they can do a job before the tasks begin. If the test returns success, the job tasks can be carried out.
Macros
A macro is a short script that outputs a single line. This output replaces a macro sign in a local Configuration file. The macro value is used to customize a Configuration file for its host machine. You create a job that installs a Configuration file on multiple hosts.
