  1. Go back to your Moogsoft tab.

    If you closed your tab, navigate to the Map your Data section of your integration:

    1. Click Data Config > Integrations.

    2. Click Create your own integration.

    3. Click the custom integration that you created in the first part of this tutorial.

  2. Click the received payload in Moogsoft to view the fields.

  3. Scroll down to Map Your Data and map the source fields from New Relic to target fields relevant in Moogsoft.

    The mappings for Source, Description, Service, Check and Severity in the following image should work for most cases, but you may prefer to map the fields according to your own business needs.

    New Relic Source Fields

    Moogsoft Target Fields

    targets[0].name

    Source

    details

    Description

    targets[0].labels

    Service

    condition_name

    Check

    current_state

    Severity

  4. After mapping the fields listed above, click Map Values.

  5. Map the following severity values:

    1. Map Closed to Clear.

    2. Map Open to Critical.

    3. Click Add Mapping and then map Acknowledged to Critical.

  6. Click Save.

  7. Complete the mappings between New Relic and Moogsoft.

    Click ADD A MAPPING to create each field mapping. Use ADD TAG to create the target when the corresponding field does not already exist in Moogsoft.

    1. Map severity to a new tag called NewRelicSeverity.

    2. Map targets[0].product to Class.

    3. Map incident_url to a new tag called NewRelicURL.

    4. Map incident_id to a new tag called NewRelicIncidentID.

    5. Map placeholder text New Relic to Manager.

  8. Create backup mappings for the Moogsoft Source and Service fields, in case the fields are blank:

    1. Map placeholder text NewRelic to Source.

    2. Map placeholder text NewRelic to Service.

    This step completes your mappings, summarized in the following table:
