Cherwell Workflow

The bidirectional Cherwell integration keeps critical information synchronized between Moogsoft Enterprise and Cherwell.

You can perform the following actions with this integration:

  • Create a Cherwell incident from a Situation in Moogsoft Enterprise.

  • Create a Cherwell incident from an alert in Moogsoft Enterprise.

  • Close a Situation in Moogsoft Enterprise to close the associated incident in Cherwell and vice versa.

  • Resolve a Situation in Moogsoft Enterprise to resolve the associated incident in Cherwell and vice versa.

  • Reopen a Cherwell incident to reopen the linked alert or Situation.

  • Comment on a Situation for the comment to appear on the associated incident in Cherwell and vice versa.

  • Automatically assign a Cherwell incident to the user that created the incident from Moogsoft Enterprise.

For information on configuring the integration see Cherwell Service Management.

Create a Cherwell Incident from a Situation

You can create a Cherwell incident from a Situation following these steps:

  1. Open the Situation view.

  2. Right-click on a Situation.

  3. Select Tools > Open Cherwell Incident.

The integration creates a new Cherwell incident and prefixes Cherwell it with 'Moogsoft AIOps Situation [number]'. Do not remove this prefix as it is needed to synchronize comments and change statuses and descriptions.

Comment on a Situation Room from Cherwell

You can add comments to the comment thread of a Situation Room in Moogsoft Enterprise from Cherwell.

To do so, open the associated incident in Cherwell and add a journal note. This then appears in Moogsoft Enterprise as follows:

"<your_Cherwell_username>: <journal_note>".

Similarly, any comments added to a Situation appear as journal notes on linked incidents in Cherwell.
