Available in opEvents-3.2.2 and opEvents-2.6.1
opEvents programmable buttons allow scripts to be run against events to give operators greater flexibility in the use of opEvents in troubleshooting and triaging of events.
It uses the same pipeline as scripts in EventActions but now operators have the ability to manually kick off a action for an event.
Example use Cases
Create a Jira ticket
Configuration
Create a file in conf/table_schemas/opEvents_action-button.json
This must be valid JSON schema or the buttons will fail to render. You should see an error in opEvents.log if this is the case.

| description | string | optional | Tool-tip help text to be displayed when you mouse over the button |
