description: Telemetry action definitions help admins to configure actions based on a specific telemetry definition version. These records capture actions taken on a telemetry signal from a connected asset. These definitions use a Target Component Path to specify which part of the asset to act on, such as turning off an asset's engine to prevent overheating. Actions are carried out through a series of defined steps, each with specific attributes that determine whether the step retrieves information or executes a remote command.

# Manage Telemetry Action Definitions

Telemetry action definitions help admins to configure actions based on a specific telemetry definition version. These records capture actions taken on a telemetry signal from a connected asset. These definitions use a Target Component Path to specify which part of the asset to act on, such as turning off an asset's engine to prevent overheating. Actions are carried out through a series of defined steps, each with specific attributes that determine whether the step retrieves information or executes a remote command.
