OMi configuration

The Connected Servers Manager is used to configure the target servers. These server receive forwarded events and subsequent event changes.

Configuration involves:

1. Configuring the OpsRamp server.
2. Configuring external event processing.
3. Configuring event forwarding rules.

Step 1: Configure OpsRamp server

In this step, OpsRamp is configured as a target connected server in OMi Connected Servers Manager. OMi events and subsequent event changes are posted to OpsRamp.

To configure OpsRamp as a connected server:

1. Login to OMi.
2. Go to Administration > Setup and Maintenance.
3. From the Connected Servers pane, click the New Script icon to create new script and provide the following:
   • In General section:
     1. Display Name: Provide a name for the script. The script would be identified with this name. Example: OpsRamp Push Event Adapter.
     2. Description: Provide a summary describing the script. Example: Push OMi events to OpsRamp via groovy script.
     3. Click Next.
   • In the Script section: Provide the script and click Next.
     • Note: Use the Tenant ID and Token values from the OpsRamp comfiguration.
     • For example: /integrations/alertsWebhook/client_27/alerts?vtoken=wZjQ9V3CmGYXzmukLzPpQ6xzJVHEju5P
   • In the Advanced section: Provide the time out as 60000 ms and click Finish.

Step 2: Configure external event processing

To configure the external event processing:

1. Go to Administration > Setup and Maintenance.
2. On the Connected Servers pane, click the New Script icon and then click External Event Processing.

   

3. In the General section, provide the following:
   • Display Name: Provide a name for OpsRamp connected server.
   • Name: Provide a unique internal name. You can change the internal name if you want to change the automatically generated name.
   • Description: Provide a description of the connection.
   • Select Activate External Event Processing Server after creation and click Next.

     

4. In Server Properties section, configure the following:
   • Fully Qualified DNS Name: Provide OpsRamp DNS name api.vistanet.jp
   • CI Type: Select Management System from the drop-down.
   • Customize the way events and change notifications are delivered to OpsRamp server using Advanced Delivery Options, and then click Next.

     

5. In Integration Type section, configure the below details:
   • Select Call Script Adapter, select the previously configured Script name from the drop-down.
   • Provide the time limit for execution of the script and click Next. Note: Default time limit is 60 seconds.

     

6. In Outgoing Connection section, configure the following:

8. In Incoming Connection section, the username is auto-generated. Leave this section blank and click Finish.

Step 3: Configure event forwarding rules

Configure an event forwarding rule to determine which events are forwarded to OpsRamp connected server. Events matching with the rules are pushed to OpsRamp connected server along with the subsequent changes in the events. You can configure which events to forward based upon a filter, and to which connected server the events should be forwarded. You can configure filters in the Event Forwarding manager.
