Example of mapping a property to the CI UserAttribute#

[Daniel Blanco]

I just searched for this but nothing came up which I found surprising.

Does anyone give an example of how you map a property to one of the CI User Attribute #'s for a CI.

I did this for the "Alert" section in each connector property but I never mapped to a CI UserAttribute #.

 

Would it be:

<Field conditional="USER_AssetOrganization" output="CIuserAttribute1" format="{0}" input="USER_AssetOrganization"/>

Thank you,

Dan

Hello Dan,

 

Yes, that's correct. But this has to be added to <Format> section of a CI Event Class.

 

Ex:

<EventClass name="ComputerSystem" extends="GenericIPDevice">

   <Format>

      <Field conditional="PrincipalName" output="CIuserAttribute1" format="{0}" input="PrincipalName" />

   </Format>

</EventClass>

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks

Brahma

This still didn't work and drove me crazy trying to figure it out then saw it.

You have " " quotes around ="var". You must specify ' ' single quotes. 

 

      <!-- Computer System CI -->

      <EventClass name="ComputerSystem" extends="Item">

            <Normalize>     

                  <Field input='os_type,os_name' type='map' output='PrimaryOSType' >

                         ...

                  </Field>

            </Normalize>

            <Format>

                    ...

               <Field conditional='origin' output='TenantID' format='{0}' input='origin' />

               <Field conditional='origin' output='CIuserAttribute1' format='{0}' input='origin' />

            </Format>

Hi Daniel,

 

I just did several tests on my machine, using Double-Quotes ".

Everything works fine using them.

Do you have a copy of the policy that did not work previously?

Possibly there are other problems in it.

 

To come back to your original post:

The attributes  "CIuserAttributeX" are only valid in the context of a CI.  They cannot be set when processing an Alert.

Alerts have similar attributes, named "userAttributeX".
