An incoming event from a discovered application
service or alert
group can bind to an alert based on an event rule and the corresponding event field mapping. The
event field mapping requires a URL or the port number and corresponding IP address for each
service or alert group.
Role required: evt_mgmt_admin
If the event is specific to a non-host CI, for example an
application
service or alert
group, use these steps to bind alerts to a non-host CI:
- Leave the Node field empty.
- Populate the CI Type with the CI type you want to bind.
- Make sure the additional_info field has enough information to
uniquely identify the CI. The algorithm matches all additional_info
attributes that have the same name as CI fields for that Event Type. If
the match is successful, the event will be bound to the CI.
Optional method:
- Leave the Node field empty.
- Populate the CI Identifier (ci_identifier) field with attributes, as
described above, that uniquely identify the CI.
