Closed Loop Server Audit module

An XML structure that holds the TrueSight Server Automation trap mappings. See Sample xml for Closed Loop Server Audit configuration itemsfor details.

An XML structure that holds the TrueSight Server Automation adapter name.

You may have more than one connection. If so, update the xml for the BL_Connection_Details_Instance_2 configuration item. For information about activating two instances of the TrueSight Orchestration application adapter for TrueSight Server Automation, see Troubleshooting the Continuous Compliance for Servers run book when the BladeLogic adapter is enabled in the BLCLI tunneling mode in the TrueSight Orchestration documentation.
Note: If the Audit Job takes more than 5 minutes to complete, the process times out. To increase the time-out period, adjust the <time-out> parameter.

A string value that holds the directory name that must exist on the TrueSight Server Automation adapter peer where the CSV file of Audit job results is stored. This path does not contain the file name. Change this value based on your environment. For example, C:\temp

An XML structure that holds the values needed to make a File adapter request to read exported job results on the peer running the TrueSight Server Automation adapter.

• Enter the name of the File adapter in the <adapter-name> field. This adapter is used for reading the exported Audit Job results.

• Ensure that the host name element matches the host name of the peer running the TrueSight Server Automation adapter.

A string value that holds the TrueSight Server Automation Depot folder structure which contains the BLPackages used to remediate Audit discrepancies. For example, /Closed Loop Remediation/Audit

These parameters are used to create the remediation job. Allowed values: true and false.
Note For information about enabling the TrueSight Server Automation adapter in BLCLI tunneling mode, see Troubleshooting the Continuous Compliance for Servers run book when the BladeLogic adapter is enabled in the BLCLI tunneling mode in the TrueSight Orchestration documentation.

A string value that holds the TrueSight Server Automation Job folder structure which contains the newly created remediation job to remediate Audit discrepancies. For example, /Remediation/Audit

IP address of the computer of the TrueSight Orchestration peer running an SNMP Monitor adapter on the grid. Jobs executed on TrueSight Server Automation that require SNMP Trap notification back to TrueSight Orchestration use this value for the Job Run Notification SNMP properties.

This field is used to convert the Scheduled start date (the date found in BMC Remedy ITSM Change) to TrueSight Server Automation specific date and time for the creation of the remediation job. Best practice is to keep TrueSight Orchestration, BMC Remedy AR System and the TrueSight Server Automation Application Server all on the same time zone setting.

Time zones are interpreted as text if they have names. For time zones representing a GMT offset value, the following syntax is used: GMTOffsetTimeZone: GMT Sign Hours : Minutes Sign: one of + - Hours: Digit Digit Digit Minutes: Digit Digit Digit: one of 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Note: Hours must be between 0 and 23, and minutes must be between 00 and 59. The format is locale independent and digits must be taken from the Basic Latin block of the Unicode standard.
For example, GMT-4:00
You must add or subtract one hour every six months to adjust the time for Daylight Savings Time.

An XML structure that contains a list of Audit Jobs that TrueSight Orchestration manages. Multiple job elements are allowed, and a job might contain multiple template elements. The elements job-group and group represent folder names within TrueSight Server Automation. Elements job-name and name represent job and component template names.

Note: Server-based Audit jobs are not supported.

A string value that holds the delimiter used to separate the data values that are concatenated to build Job names within TrueSight Server Automation. This delimiter should be a character or a group of characters that can be a part of a Server name, IP address, ITSM Change request ID, a timestamp, or epoch date. It must be unique enough so it does not appear in a host or job name.

For the Remediation_Job_Change_Ticket_Property entry, enter the name of the Property created for the Deploy and Batch Job types in TrueSight Server Automation. This is required for the remediation and verification stage in TrueSight Orchestration.

Enter the name of the Custom Property added to the Jobs in the TrueSight Server Automation Custom Dictionary dialogue window, as described in Creating new job properties for Closed Loop Server Audit and Closed Loop Server Compliance. For example, CHANGE TICKET ID.

A string value that holds the TrueSight Server Automation Job folder structure which contains the copy of the verification job that ensures that the Audit discrepancies have been remediated. For example, /Remediation/Verify/Audit

You can have multiple versions of the TrueSight Server Automation Console installed and as a result you might have multiple BL_Version configuration items. For example, you might have both versions 8.0 and 8.1 of the console installed on a particular computer. This configuration item specifies the version and location of the TrueSight Server Automation Console that is launched from the Task ticket in BMC Remedy ITSM. Update the following items:

• Version — Enter the version number for the console. For example, 8.2.
• Windows — If the console is installed on a Microsoft Windows system, enter the console executable path. For example, C:\Program Files\BMC Software\Bladelogic\CM\rcp
• UNIX — If the console is installed on a UNIX system, enter the console executable path. For example, /opt/bmc/BladeLogic/CM/rcp

Date format used to convert TrueSight Server Automation specific date format to the BMC Remedy ITSM epoch date.

Indicates if BMC Atrium CMDB access is enabled in the current BMC Remedy ITSM environment. Set this value to true only if CI information is present with BMC Remedy AR System and/or the BMC Atrium CMDB for servers being managed by TrueSight Server Automation. Allowed values: true and false.

Specifies how the configuration items are retrieved through TrueSight Server Automation Integration for Atrium. A value of true retrieves the configuration items using the CDMachineID. A value of false retrieves the configuration items using the CI name.
