Automate High Frequency Polling from SevOne NPM

Purpose of Workflow: Increase polling frequency from SevOne NPM on those objects where higher granularity is required.

Description: This workflow increases the polling frequency to defined objects when we need to collect from granular data.

List of requirements:

• Automated Observability Version: 2022.8 or later
• SevOne Version: 6.3.0 or newer

Environment Required:

Object details

• Device Id: on policy variables use ‘deviceId’
• Object Id: on policy variables use ‘$objectId’
• Frequency: by default 20 seconds, but it can be overridden
• Plugin: ‘ICMP’, ‘SNMP’… on policy variables use ‘$pluginName’
• Action: ‘set’ or ‘reset’
• NMS Credentials

Setup:

• Recommended to create an API endpoint to be able to trigger this workflow from IBM SevOne NPM alerts.

Expected results:

• Create a new HFP object when this workflow is triggered, and also delete the object when the flag ‘action’ is set to ‘reset.
