Adding external links and dynamic fields in TrueSight Network Automation


Entuity  Network Analytics UI and exports have been enhanced over a period of time. Entuity Network Analytics UI includes URLs that can be customized. You can then directly click these URLs from the device information window in TrueSight Network Automation. This topic includes the following prerequisite sections:

Add the following external links in TrueSight Network Automation to access various reports from the device information window: 

  • To access the Entuity Advanced Device Details report: http://<entuityserver>:<entuitywebport>/webUI/objectDetails.do?server=${device.<EntuityServerID>}&menuName=Explorer&view=My Network&id=${device.<EntuityID>}
  • To access the Entuity Device Events report: http://<entuityserver>:<entuitywebport>/webUI/viewEvents.do?view=My Network&objectId=${device.<EntuityID>}&fltId=eFilter0
  • Depending on the version of Entuity Network Analytics, use one of the following URLs to access the Entuity Device Summary report:
    • (Version 17.0 Patch P01 and earlier) http://<entuityserver>:<entuitywebport>/webUI/objectSummary.do?server=${device.<EntuityServerID>}&menuName=Explorer&view=My Network&id=${device.<EntuityID>}
    • (Version 17.0 Patch P02 and later) http://<entuityserver>:<entuitywebport>/webUI/objectSummary.do?server=${device.EntuityServerID}&menuName=Explorer&id=${device.EntuityID}

In the above URLs, you must specify the following IDs using which you can link TrueSight Network Automation to Entuity Network Analytics by using in-context launches:

  • EntuityServerID
  • EntuityID (Storm ID number, which uniquely identifies an object within Entuity)
