I'm running Cumulus MX 3.25.1 b3244 under Ubuntu 22.04 and I'm trying to configure an action to run on detection of a data spike.
I've created a shell script which performs the actions I want and that works from the terminal. Am I able to run it from the "Action" field on the alarms page in CumulusMX? I have tried different ways of configuring it but it does not seem to run the script? At the moment, I just have ~/myScript.sh typed into the Action box. What am I missing?
I can't find much help on this feature so, I'd be grateful for any guidance on how it works.

Re: Configuring shell scripts to run from Cumulus MX alarms
Have you tried putting the full path to the script in? Have you checked that the user Cumulus is running as has execute permission on the script?
