Moolet Informs

Create the Moolet Inform using the create method as follows, passing the target Moolets that receive messages from this source:

var inform = mooletInforms.create("AlertRulesEngine", "Cookbook");

Or, you can choose not to specify the target Moolets in this step:

var inform = mooletInforms.create();

Add values to the inform using one or more of the following:

If you did not specify the target Moolets previously, specify them now:

You can configure message sending in two ways. If you have already set your targets:

inform.send();

If you have not set your targets, include them in the method call:

inform.send("AlertRulesEngine", "Cookbook");

Edit the configuration file for each target Moolet and add an event handler to listen for the Inform messages:

events.onEvent("informReceive", constants.eventType("mooletInforms.ExampleMoolet")).listen();

The listening target Moolet can access the data in two ways. You can use the getSubject, getPayload and getDetails methods:

function informReceive(inform) 
{
    var subject = inform.getSubject();
    var payload = inform.getPayload();
    var details = inform.getDetails();
    logger.warning("Received Moolet Inform. Subject [" + subject + "] Payload [" + payload + "] Details [" + details + "]");
}

Alternatively, you can use the value method:

function informReceive(inform) 
{
    var subject = inform.value("subject");
    var payload = inform.value("payload");
    var details = inform.value("details");
    logger.warning("Received Moolet Inform. Subject [" + subject + "] Payload [" + payload + "] Details [" + details + "]");
}

You can configure the Moolet to call a specific method for different subjects in the inform messages. For example you can configure a Remedy Moolet to listen for a specific subject (ticketCreate) in the inform message and route the event to a function (createNewTicket):

events.onEvent("createNewTicket", constants.eventType("mooletInforms.RemedyMoolet.ticketCreate")).listen();
