Preparing the Data

XML data is used to receive alarms from third-party systems into Foglight. Transformers are provided with the Foglight for Integrations to handle the data appropriately.
XML Elements
Table 1. XML elements and descriptions
XML Element
Description
<configurationItem>
 
This element identifies that a Configuration Item is being passed in the XML. Attributes can also be attached with the element. They are:
 
updateMode:
“none/merge/replace”
•
None — no CI changes
•
Merge — non-existing properties added, single properties are replaced, and list properties have content merged
•
Replace — CI contents replaced by data in the XML. This is the default if updateMode is not specified.
 
updateRelationships:
Normally when a Configuration Item is written, it removes all properties and relationships (like the Parent and Child). However, an alarm may come in with Configuration Item updates but without all the relationship information. This setting allows you to update the Configuration Item without affecting any previously defined relationships.
