I am completely and totally baffled by what you are claiming here. There isn’t
two sections involved. Every one of the sentences I quoted fits on the same
screen even if you are viewing the page in 640x480 resolution. They are a
single section, with one sentence leading directly to the next.

Yes, AFTER it says "Monit provides several tests you can use in a 'check'
statement to test a service. You can test either for some expected value or
range and take actions if the value changed.” So in the context of this
section, an action is something taken when a test fails. There is no ambiguity
here.

I have no idea what you are babbling about. I have re-read all of my messages
tonight and the words “event type” are not within them.

No, you added “event type” to this discussion. I haven’t mentioned it tonight.
I’m staring at a small block of text which doesn’t contain those words.
Go to the link above and read the text. It says I can define a check, and I can
define an action to be taken when the check fails. The action very clearly says
it will send an alarm. I am not receiving any alarm.
There no ambiguity here, and your constant attempts to claim that this very
small page of text is being confused is… bizarre. Baffling. A third grader
could read that text. I have no idea where you are wandering off to.

Nobody is talking about event types. We are talking about the very clear
description of the actions to be taken when a check fails.

Nobody is disputing that. You are a very, very confused person.
