Using Foglight for Integrations Reference

Configuring ServiceNow Integration

Foglight ServiceNow Integration allows using ServiceNow API to create ServiceNow incidents for Foglight alarms.

Requirements

Using Foglight ServiceNow Integration requires a ServiceNow account with ServiceNow roles:

•
incident_manager
•
personalize_choices

Configuring ServiceNow integration

To connect to ServiceNow instance:
1
Select Dashboard Administration > Integration > ServiceNow Integration to open ServiceNow configuration dashboard.
2
Click Get Started to start the configuration wizard.
3
In the first wizard screen, ServiceNow Instance Account, connect to the ServiceNow instance by providing the ServiceNow URL and credential.
4
Click Next and Foglight will verify the provided ServiceNow instance URL and credential. If the verification passes, the Summary page will be displayed.
5
Then click Finish and the ServiceNow Integration main Dashboard will be displayed, which includes General Setting tab and Service Synchronization tab.
a
General Setting tab displays current ServiceNow Integration settings and status.
b
Service Synchronization tab lists all Foglight services and allows user to configure service based alarm to incident synchronization.
Configuring service based synchronization

Foglight ServiceNow supports service based alarm synchronization, users can configure service based alarm synchronization in Service Synchronization dashboard:

To configure service synchronization:
1
Find the Foglight service or child service you want to operate in service table.
2
Click the Category column for the selected service, and select the ServiceNow Category of the alarms you want to synchronize to.
3
Click Assigned Person OR Assigned Group to select the default assignee for all synchronized ServiceNow incidents.
4
Click Enable/Disable Synchronization to enable synchronization for the selected service.
5
Click the Save button to save all changes, this step is required because the configuration only works after it is saved.

If you want to keep some irrelevant alarms from falsely causing a service outage, define an alarm filter in the Service Builder.

To define an alarm filter:
1
Select Dashboard Services > Service Builder.
2
Click the Alarm Filters to open the Alarm Filters dialog box.

3
Click Add in the Alarm Filters dialog box. The Add Alarm Filter dialog box appears.

Then, select one or more filter options:

•
By Rule—select the By Rule check box and choose a rule for which its alarms are to be included or excluded. You can define more than one alarm filter for the same rule.
•
Alarms—select the types of alarms to include or exclude.
* 
NOTE: If both Include and Exclude filters are defined, Foglight includes alarms that are specified in the Include filters as long as they are not excluded by the Exclude filters. If only Include filters are defined, all alarms are excluded except those specified in the Include filters.If only Exclude filters are defined, all alarms are included except those specified in the Exclude filters.
•
Groovy Script—refine the filtering by running an optional groovy script. The current alarm is the only parameter passed to this script, meaning you can filter on anything that is referenced by the alarm. An example of a groovy script is:
@alarm.get('topologyObject').getType().getName() ==
'Windows_System_System_Table'
5
Click Create.
The filter is saved on the Alarm Filters list and the number is displayed to represent the number of filters created for the selected component.

After applying the Alarm Filters, irrelevant alarms will not be synchronized to ServiceNow.

Configuring backward synchronization strategy

Foglight ServiceNow Integration helps Foglight user to synchronize FMS alarms to ServiceNow incidents.

Figure 10. Backward Synchronization Strategy Configuration

The Backward Synchronization Strategy Configuration allows users to synchronize ServiceNow incidents status changes to Foglight. After applying the configuration, when Foglight detects the state changes in ServiceNow Incident, it will change the states of the corresponding alarms basing on the configuration.
