+== Trigger Configuration
+Trigger configurations are managed using the <<solrcloud-autoscaling-api.adoc#write-api,Autoscaling Write API>> with the commands `<<solrcloud-autoscaling-api.adoc#create-update-trigger,set-trigger>>`, `<<solrcloud-autoscaling-api.adoc#remove-trigger,remove-trigger>>`,
+`suspend-trigger`, and `resume-trigger`.
+
+=== Trigger Properties
+
+Trigger configuration consists of the following properties:
+
+`name`:: (string, required) A unique trigger configuration name.
+
+`event`:: (string, required) One of the predefined event types (`nodeAdded` or `nodeLost`).
+
+`actions`:: (list of action configs, optional) An ordered list of actions to execute when event is fired.
+
+`waitFor`:: (string, optional) The time to wait between generating new events, as an integer number immediately
+followed by unit symbol, one of `s` (seconds), `m` (minutes), or `h` (hours). Default is `0s`. A condition must
+persist at least for the `waitFor` period to generate an event.
+
+`enabled`:: (boolean, optional) When `true` the trigger is enabled. Default is `true`.
+
+Additional implementation-specific properties may be provided, as described in the sections for individual triggers below.
+
+=== Action Properties
+
+Action configuration consists of the following properties:
+
+`name`:: (string, required) A unique name of the action configuration.
+
+`class`:: (string, required) The action implementation class.
+
+Additional implementation-specific properties may be provided, as described in the sections for individual triggers below.
+
+If the `actions` configuration is omitted, then by default, the `ComputePlanAction` and the `ExecutePlanAction` are automatically added to the trigger configuration.
+
+=== Example Trigger Configuration
+
+This simple example shows the configuration for adding (or updating) a trigger for `nodeAdded` events.
