AppViewX Integration Guide

The AppViewX Platform is a modular, low-code software application that enables the automation and orchestration of network infrastructure using an intuitive, context-aware, visual workflow. PagerDuty provides a way for AppViewX workflows to be able to notify NetOps and SecOps teams of incidents on the network.

Benefits

  • Bring down the turnaround time (SLA) to fix any outages happening in the Network and Security Layers of an Enterprise Network.
  • Notify NetOps and SecOps teams via PagerDuty incidents on any changes through AppViewX.
  • Notify Ops teams (NetOps and SecOps) teams based on alerts sent from AppViewX.
  • Notify respective teams about the status and outcome of the workflow stages.
  • Create incidents with different priority based on the severity of the event from AppViewX’s Workflow automation tool.
  • Create incidents based on the Alerts, events triggered in AppViewX.
  • Incidents will automatically resolve in PagerDuty when the Ops teams resolve incidents on ITSM with bidirectional synchronization.

How it Works

  • Events from AppViewX will trigger a new incident on the connected PagerDuty service.
  • PagerDuty task can be used in any stage of the Workflow automation in order to provide alerts on events triggered by AppViewX.

Requirements

  • PagerDuty integrations require an Admin base role for account authorization. If you do not have this role, please reach out to a PagerDuty Admin or Account Owner within your organization to configure the integration.
