What is the HTTP Action Type PowerPack?

The HTTP Action Type PowerPack contains an automation action template that can be used to create custom automation actions that perform HTTP requests. The PowerPack also includes action types that are used by the automation action.

Installing the HTTP Action Type PowerPack

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.)

To download and install a PowerPack:

1. Download the PowerPack from the ScienceLogic Support Site at https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/powerpacks.
2. Go to the PowerPack Manager page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
3. In the PowerPack Manager page, click the Actions button, then select Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack dialog box appears.
4. Click the [Browse] button and navigate to the PowerPack file.
5. When the PowerPack Installer modal appears, click the Install button to install the PowerPack.

If you exit the PowerPack Installer modal without installing the imported PowerPack, the imported PowerPack will not appear in the PowerPack Manager page. However, the imported PowerPack will appear in the Imported PowerPacks modal. This page appears when you click the Actions menu and select Install PowerPack.
