This section describes how to edit the action policies included in theAnsible Automation PowerPack so that the action policies can communicate with your SL1 PowerFlow system.

Editing the Ansible Action Policies

The Ansible Automation PowerPack includes two action policies that use the "Run Integration Service Application" action type to trigger the PowerFlow application that collects data from Ansible. You can specify the credential ID in a JSON structure that you enter in the Input Parameters field in the Action Policy Editor modal.

To edit the action policies included in the PowerPack:

  1. Go to the Action Policy Manager page (Registry > Run Book > Actions).
  2. Locate the action policy that you want to use, and then click its wrench icon (). The Editing Action page appears:

  • include_event. Leave the value as "true".
  • application_name. Leave the default application value.
  • params. Leave the default parameter value.
