Integrate SevOne NMS With Other Applications

SevOne NMS provides the ability to create URLs that enable you to integrate SevOne NMS with third party applications. You can customize the URL to automatically authenticate a user, navigate directly to a specific page, and include the interface parameters to perform various actions.

SevOne NMS provides a full featured, comprehensive RESTful API in addition to our existing SOAP API. This makes it easy to integrate SevOne MS with other products as well as to create portals, extract or even import information in SevOne NMS. The REST API and SOAP API are Web services compliant and are available for use from virtually any development environment including PHP, Java, ASP, and C++.

SevOne NMS seamlessly integrates with other network management solutions including EMC SMARTS, HP OpenView, and Spectrum. SevOne NMS event management simplifies enterprise integration and enables network managers to configure and create customized alert policies and thresholds that can be sent as traps to an enterprise fault management system or viewed natively through the SevOne NMS Web-based GUI.

SevOne integration ensures that your network management components work in sync to achieve automation, leverage existing tools, and provide a single pane of glass. Integration points include (but are not limited to) topology synchronization, performance alert forwarding, map click, and forwarding.

forcelogin Script

You can use a script called forcelogin to create the URLs that redirect a user to a particular SevOne NMS page. This URL authenticates a user and handles the internal navigation logic to redirect you to the page you specify.

The forcelogin script is located at: http://<ip_of_appliance>/forcelogin.php

The forcelogin script uses a URL you construct with a combination of the following parameters.

  • username - A valid SevOne NMS user name (required).

  • password - The password for the valid user (required).

  • domino - The page to which to navigate the user (required).

  • params - The page specific parameters to define interface interactions and information display (optional).

Example

The following is the URL that logs jsmith with password sm!tty onto SevOne NMS to the Alerts page.

http://[IP_OF_APPLIANCE]/forcelogin.php?username=jsmith&password=sm!tty&domino=Alerts

You can add additional parameters to the URL to display reports, display the Device Summary for a specific device, or to filter the list of results on the page.

Example

The following URL expands on the previous example to change the default grouping setting from Alerts to Device Group.

http://[IP_OF_APPLIANCE]/forcelogin.php?username=jsmith&password=sm!tty&domino=Alerts&params[groupingType]=2
