Moogsoft Docs

This doc covers the integration steps to provide an alarm integration from UIM to Moogsoft AIOps. The integration has following steps:

Add the UIM SDK to Moogsoft AIOps
Create/Identify the queue on the hub which is active and attached the alarm messages
Queue name and Hub IP/hostname/FQDN have to be entered in the Monito r section of uim_lam.conf file

Note

Knowledge of the SNAP and UIM system is required

Note

The SSL is currently not supported in the UIM LAM

Adding UIM SDK to Moogsoft AIOps

SNAP/UIM installation has proprietary JAVA SDK included with it. It is used by multiple components in the SNAP or UIM. The SDK jar has to be added to Moogsoft AIOps.

Adding UIM SDK jar includes the following steps:

Copy the nimsoft-SDK.jar to the following location in Moogsoft AIOps: $MOOGSOFT_HOME/lib/cots/nonDist .

Note

The nimsoft-SDK.jar for Linux can be found in the directory system/opt/nimsoft

Note

The nimsoft-SDK.jar for windows can be found in the SNAP or UIM installation home directory. For example, if UIM SNAP is installed in the path C:\Program Files\CA\UIM Snap then the SDK jar can be found at the Path: C:\Program Files\CA\UIM Snap\probes\service\wasp\webapps\nisapi\WEB-INF\lib

Note

The name of the UIM SDK jar can be different for different versions

Note

Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and hostname entry should be made in the host file

Note

The nimsoft-SDK.jar can only be used if the user has the UIM license

UIM Queue creation/selection

The subscribe mechanism enables the client to select alarms based on the alarms subject. A client that is configured to receive UIM alarms sends a subscribe request to the hub. The client then receives alarms matching the subscribed subjects from the hub.

The subscribed alarms are received by the UIM LAM from an attached queue in UIM. If an attached queue is present in UIM then it can be used, otherwise, a new attached queue can be created. The queue is created in the hub view part of the Infrastructure Manager application of UIM.

Note

For UIM SNAP, the Infrastructure Manager application is not available, therefore the steps mentioned below will not be applicable. To get the queue details of UIM SNAP navigate to C:\Program Files\CA\UIM Snap\hub\q . Check if event_management is present; this will be the default queue name

Note

The below-mentioned steps are only applicable for UIM

Note

The Infrastructure Manager can only be installed on a windows machine. For UIM installed on Linux, the Infrastructure Manager application installed on windows OS and connected to it is used for queue creation.The Infrastructure Manager is accessed by taking a remote connection of the windows machine on which it is installed

The steps to create a queue are as follows:

Click on the Windows Start button and navigate to All Programs > Nimsoft Monitoring , then click on Infrastructure Manager. The Infrastructure Manager application opens.
Click on Security and then select Login. The Login dialog opens.
Enter the user Credentials in the Login dialog and click on OK .
Navigate to the Robot in the left panel where hub is deployed.
Select the Robot . It displays the probes in the right panel.
Double-click the hub probe to open the hub dialog, then select the Queue s tab.
Click on the New button in the Queues tab of the hub configuration dialog. The New Queue dialog opens.
Enter the following details in the New Queue dialog and then click on OK .
- Active : Select the check box. If the check box is not selected, then the queue will not send the alarms from UIM
- Name : Enter the desired name of the queue
- Type : Select attach. Selecting attach disables the Address and Bulk Size field
- Address : The field remains disabled
- Subject : Select alarm
- Bulk size : It is automatically set to <default> and disabled
The queue is added to the Queues tab of hub configuration window.
Click on Apply in the hub configuration window.
When prompted to restart the hub, click Yes.
