Troubleshooting policy issues

This topic lists troubleshooting information for policies.


Unable to delete a dynamic enrichment policy

Symptom

On the Event Policies page, you are unable to delete a dynamic enrichment policy (DEP) that you created by using the Copy option.

Scope

This issue occurs under the following situations:

  • You create more than two copies of a DEP policy by using the Copy option.
  • You attempt to delete any policy instance beyond two, for example a third policy instance.

Workaround

As a workaround for this issue, perform the following steps:

  1. On the Event Policies page, edit the policy that you want to delete.

  2. In Policy Configuration, delete the dynamic enrichment configuration from the policy.

    Important

    If the policy has only one configuration and that is the dynamic enrichment configuration, add another policy configuration before you delete the dynamic enrichment configuration.

  3. Click Save.
  4. Select the policy that you updated and click Delete.


Unable to import event policies

Symptom

On the Event Policies page, you are unable to import an event policy.

Scope

This issue occurs under the following situations:

  • You import a policy json file into a tenant that is exported from a BMC Helix Operations Management version earlier than 23.2.02.
  • The structure of the policy json file that you import does not match the json file structure of  BMC Helix Operations Management version 23.2.02.

Workaround

Make sure that the json file you import matches, for example, the following file structure:

Policy file structure
{
 "policyList": [
   {
     "name": "Dynamic enrichment policy",
     "types": [
       "ADVANCED_ENRICHMENT"
      ],
     "description": "",
     "executionOrder": 9999,
     "selectorCriteriaList": [
       "( class equals 'ALARM' )"
      ],
     "enabled": false,
     "configurations": [
       {
         "type": "ADVANCED_ENRICHMENT",
         "configOrder": 1,
         "definition": {
           "children": [
             {
               "skipDDEEnrichEvaluation": false,
               "fieldSeparator": ",",
               "matchFields": [
                 "severity",
                 "priority"
                ],
               "matchTableID": "39aedd54-fb18-11eb-ad35-f730820138e4",
               "enrichFields": [
                 "msg"
                ],
               "type": "dynamicDataEnrichment",
               "matchPreference": "First",
               "matchTableCount": "6",
               "labels": {
                 "matchFields": "Match Field",
                 "enrichFields": "Enrich Field",
                 "importData": "Import setting label"
               }
             }
            ],
           "label": "null",
           "type": "root"
         },
         "timeframeStatus": "",
         "subType": "DYNAMIC_ENRICHMENT"
       }
      ],
     "timeframes": [
       "-1"
      ]
   }
  ],
 "dataTablesMap": [
   {
     "Dynamic enrichment policy.1": {
       "presentMatchTableId": "39aedd54-fb18-11eb-ad35-f730820138e4",
       "tag": "1",
       "matchTableContent": "*ITICAL,PRIORITY_3,NotEnrichedWhenBestMatch\nCRITICAL,PRIORITY_2,CRITICAL_HIGH_Event_Enriched\nMAJ*,PRIORITY_*,NotEnrichedWhenBestMatchWhenNextRowHasMAJOR_INFO\n*OR,PRIORITY_5,MinorEventEnrichedAsNoOtherMF_For_Minor\n*INFO,PRIORITY_5,InfoEnrichedForOpenInfoEvents\nMAJOR,PRIORITY_5,majorInfoEventEnrichedBestMatch"
     }
   }
  ]
}

The imported policy json file structure must have the policyList and dataTablesMap attributes. For event policies other than dynamic enrichment policies, the dataTablesMap attribute is an empty array.
