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.

Before you begin

Before you start the tutorial on enrichment, read through the topic Prepare to Enrich. It covers how you define your goals for the enrichment. In this example, you want to use your the Enrichment API to add hardware physical location and support group information to alerts to meet your operators' requirements.

Verify you have completed the steps to create the Enrichment API data store. See Create the Enrichment API Data Store for more information.
