# Send Actions to IDOL Server

You query HPE IDOL Server by sending actions from your Web browser. The general syntax of these actions is:

    http://IDOLhost:port/action=action&requiredParams&optionalParams

where:

`IDOLhost` | is the IP address or name of the machine on which HPE IDOL Server is installed.
`port` | is the ACI port by which you send actions to HPE IDOL Server (set by the `Port` parameter in the `[Server]` section of the HPE IDOL Server configuration file).
`action` | is the name of the action you want HPE IDOL Server to perform (for example, `Query`).
`requiredParams` | are the parameters that you must supply for the action you request. (Not all actions have required parameters.)
`optionalParams` | are parameters that you can supply for the action you request. (Not all actions have optional parameters.)

Note: Separate parameters with an ampersand (&).

Tip: As an alternative to sending ACI actions directly, you can run any IDOL action from the IDOL Admin interface. For more information, refer to the IDOL Admin User Guide.
