Automates the update of SNMP community strings in SevOne 

Fri August 11, 2023 12:10 PM

Purpose of Workflow: Compare SNMP community string in SevOne to the string input by the user.  If the SevOne string does not match, update the SevOne string

 

Description: This workflow automates the update of SNMP community string in SevOne. The User inputs System Mgmt IP address and the community string that has been configured on the system.  The workflow gets the community string configured on SevOne for the system and compares with the string input by the user.  If there is a mismatch in the string, the community string in SevOne is updated with the string input by the user.  If the string in SevOne matches with user input, the workflow exits without making any changes. 

List of requirements:

Automated Observability Version: 2022.8 or later

SevOne Version: 6.3.0 or newer

Environment Required:

SevOne NMS:  needed for SevOne API access

SevOne Username / Password

Mgmt IP of SevOne collector

Mgmt IP of Network Device

 

Inputs:

  • IP address of Network device
  • SNMP community string
  • ServiceNow credentials

Setup:

Workflow (Sub-Flow): Gets device information from SevOne based on the System IP address of the network device input by the user.  Parses the information and gets the SNMP string assigned to a variable.

Workflow: Compares the SNMP string input by user to the SNMP string read from SevOne in earlier step.  If the string matches the workflow exits.  In case of string mismatch the workflow moves to next step.

Workflow: In case of a string mismatch the workflow executes a configuration change to update the SNMP community string in SevOne to match the string input by the user.

Instructions:

To Run the Workflow: 

Execute the workflow with the required inputs.

Expected results:

The SNMP community string in SevOne is updated to match the string input by the User for the network device.
