Foglight for Integrations 6.1.0 - User Guide

Using Foglight for Integrations Reference

Selecting a Configuration Item in a Service Builder

The third-party Configuration Items can be used in building services. This can be done by selecting All Models and then opening the CI Model. This shows all Configuration Items fed from third-parties. These can be selected and included in the service. For example, accounts payable may want to include Configuration Items in a service because it is possible Foglight is not monitoring them, but rather by a third-party system.

Forwarding Alarms to Third-Party Systems

You can forward any alarm into another third-party system. A new action, called IntegrationAction, has been introduced to allow the user to forward these alarms.

Creating an XMLDump Script

This script takes Foglight Alarm XML data and dumps it into the /tmp directory. This would be replaced with a script used to transform the XML data into the format that the receiving third-party system requires.

2

The XML data generated contains information about the alarms as they exist in Foglight.

For Foglight generated alarms, the ruleId, ruleName, and sourceName are added to the XML data.
For all alarms, the uniqueId, createdTime, clearedTime, and acknowledgedTime element data are provided in the XML data output.
The type element data on outgoing Configuration Items is set to the Foglight topology type for Foglight generated alarms.
For Third-party alarms, the type is from the type property that is passed in on the Configuration Item.
