This PowerPack requires a subscription that includes CMDB/Inventory workflow automations.

What is the Infoblox: Workflow Configuration PowerPack?

The Infoblox: Workflow Configuration PowerPack includes one "Infoblox: Mismatched IP addresses" event policy. The "Infoblox: Mismatched IP addresses" event policy creates an event in SL1 when an SL1 and Infoblox device have the same name but different IP addresses.

For more information on enabling event policies, see the section on Editing an Event Policy.

Installing the Infoblox: Workflow ConfigurationPowerPack

Before completing the steps in this section, you must import and install the latest version of the Infoblox: Workflow Configuration PowerPack.

IMPORTANT: You must install and configure the Infoblox: Inventory Synchronization PowerPack version 1.0.0 before using the Infoblox: Workflow Configuration PowerPack.

The Infoblox: Workflow Configuration PowerPack requires SL1 version 10.2.0 or later. For details on upgrading SL1, see the appropriate SL1 Release Notes.

By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack overwrites all content from a previous version of that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent new PowerPacks from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields. (For more information, see the section on Global Settings.)
