Example: Enrich topology information by using event policy

To enrich the topology information, Sarah performs the following steps:

1. Define the event selection criteria.
2. Build the policy workflow.

Actions used in the example

• Variable
• Function

For more information about actions, see Actions-for-advanced-and-time-based-enrichment.

To define the event selection criteria

1. Select Configuration > Event Policies and click Create.
2. In Event Selection Criteria, define a condition to select events that contain the message NodeAssociateHas.

The following image illustrates how the event selection criteria will look:

To learn how to construct the event selection criteria, see Creating-and-enabling-event-policies.

To build the policy workflow

On the Refinement page, perform the following steps:

Success

TipYou can hover over an action to view the complete label for the action as shown:

1. Add the Variable action by using the Concat function to concatenate the host value and store the function output in the $node.name variable.
2. To add the Function action, use the AssociateEventToNode function to fetch the topology information by using custom event slots instead of the default topology slots and then Apply and Save the policy.
   

Results

The preceding policy workflow enriches the value of the event location and tags on the Event Details page.
