Configuring Binding

After you have selected a workflow to remediate an alarm, you can configure binding by assigning the properties of the alarm that you remediate to the parameters of the workflow that runs when the alarm is fired.

For example, an alarm fires when a virtual machine is running out of memory. Using binding, you can transfer the virtual machine as a whole, one of its properties (for example, the memory size), the property of the alarm (for example, the time stamp), or a static value.

To configure binding:
1
Click the Binding field of the selected workflow on the Workflows pane of the Remediation Mapping view.
The Remediation Workflow Parameter Mapping dialog box opens, listing the workflow parameters that you can bind to the alarm properties and objects.
2
Click the Mapping field.
You are prompted to specify the binding type. Depending on the property type, different binding types are available:
•
Bind to a property of the rule’s alarm: allows you to assign a parameter of the fired alarm to the workflow property (for example, assign the alarm time stamp).
•
Bind to a property of the rule’s scope object: allows you to assign a parameter of the scope object to the workflow property (for example, assign the name of a VM).
•
Bind to the scope object: allows you to assign a scope object as a whole to the workflow property (for example, assign the virtual machine as a topology object).
•
Bind to a static value: allows you to assign a static value to the workflow property (for example, a string, boolean value, integer).
3
Optional—Select the Preview Parameters Before Remediation check box if you want to be prompted to confirm or update the remediation binding each time before the workflow runs.

Adding Workflows to Favorites

You can add the workflows that you use frequently for remediation to the favorites list.

To add a workflow to Favorites:

The added workflow appears in the Favorite Workflows list on the Rules and Categories pane.
