Enrich Alerts Using the Enrichment API
You can use the Enrichment Workflow Engine with the Enrichment API Integration in Moogsoft Enterprise to add information to your alerts. The Enrichment API Integration provides the API endpoint for you to load and maintain your enrichment data. The Enrichment Workflow Engine lets you create actions to add your enrichment data to alerts.
This topic and its related topics use an example scenario to walk you through the process to add information like physical location to an alert’s custom_info object. For general information on enrichment, see Enrichment Overview.
