5 Survey > What s your high level integration/automation scenario? What s the process you re integrating/automating? What are the system(s)? What, if any, integration standards best serve you? 5 September 9, 2009 Using ehealth and Spectrum published API s to obtain data from the solutions Copyright 2009 CA

11 CA ehealth CLI > Simplest Integration interface > Configuration manipulation nhmodifyelement, nhdeleteelement nhlistelements, nhelementstatus nhgroup, nhgrouplist nhdiscoverpolicy > Process Control nhdiscover nhreport nhschedule 11 October 13, 2009 Using ehealth and Spectrum APIs to automate your infrastructure management Copyright 2009 CA

12 DCI > CSV file based import/export mechanism > Allows specifying of complete configuration Elements and Groups Web Live nhconfig, nhexportconfig Supports individual changes and merge operations DCI Rules can pre-process files to modify behavior nhimportwebacct, nhexportwebacct Simple import/export, no merge semantics nhimportliveexcfg, nhexportliveexcfg Simple import/export, no merge semantics 12 October 13, 2009 Using ehealth and Spectrum APIs to automate your infrastructure management Copyright 2009 CA

14 Data > Several interfaces for accessing ehealth data nhreport - generate CSV output nhexportdata Similar query to Group Trend or TopN reports Produces DDI (CSV) formatted data 14 October 13, 2009 Using ehealth and Spectrum APIs to automate your infrastructure management Copyright 2009 CA

15 Database > New DB API Read-only access Automatically enabled in 6.1 Improved performance over old DB API > Access to Regularized data Configuration Elements & Associations > Interface used by Report Center to access data SELECT sample_time, delta_time, bytes, frames FROM NHV_ST_B_LANWAN WHERE element_id = ; 15 October 13, 2009 Using ehealth and Spectrum APIs to automate your infrastructure management Copyright 2009 CA

16 Notification > Feedback from the Live Exception Engine > Configured through LEB or Live DCI interface > Rules used to match alarms > Available actions include Running a command Generating an Sending an SNMP trap 16 October 13, 2009 Using ehealth and Spectrum APIs to automate your infrastructure management Copyright 2009 CA

17 Import > nhimportdata loads DDI data into database MTF's used to interpret data > All CA ehealth PM functions work on live data Live Health Data Analysis Reports 17 October 13, 2009 Using ehealth and Spectrum APIs to automate your infrastructure management Copyright 2009 CA

18 Example Integration Automating management of users in CA ehealth PM > Creating users Create a new DCI file specifying the correct configuration Export an existing user with nhexportwebacct Modify the user name Import DCI file with nhimportwebacct > Modifying users Export DCI file with nhexportwebacct Modify contents to reflect new settings Import DCI file with nhimportwebacct > Delete users You can t do this through the API! 18 October 13, 2009 Using ehealth and Spectrum APIs to automate your infrastructure management Copyright 2009 CA

19 Considerations > Not based on standards No XML, Web Services > Configuration operations are expensive 1 element change takes just as long as 1000 Batch operations when ever possible > DCI is powerful Used internally Allows changes that are not legal in the UI Can put system in inconsistent state 19 October 13, 2009 Using ehealth and Spectrum APIs to automate your infrastructure management Copyright 2009 CA
