What are the Datacenter Advanced Enrichment Policies PowerPacks?

The set of Datacenter Advanced Enrichment Policies PowerPacks contain device-specific automation policies (and additional event policies not included in other ScienceLogic PowerPacks) that you can configure to collect additional diagnostic information when events occur. You can use this additional data about the event to provide instructions on how to troubleshoot and resolve that event.

You must install the Datacenter Advanced Enrichment Actions PowerPack before you can install and use any of the related Policies PowerPacks. For more information, seeDatacenter Advanced Enrichment Actions PowerPack.

Installing Datacenter Advanced Enrichment Policies PowerPacks

Before completing the steps in this section, you must import and install the latest version of the Datacenter Advanced Enrichment Policies PowerPacks that contain the automation policies that you want to use.

The Datacenter Advanced Enrichment Policies PowerPacks require SL1 version 8.10.0 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.)

The minimum required MySQL version is 5.6.0.

To download and install the PowerPack:

  1. Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page (Product Downloads > PowerPacksSyncPacks) at the ScienceLogic Support Site.
  2. In SL1, go to the PowerPacks page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
  3. Click the Actions button and choose Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack dialog box appears.
  4. Click [Browse] and navigate to the PowerPack file from step 1.
  5. Select the PowerPack file and click Import. The PowerPack Installer modal displays a list of the PowerPack contents.
  6. Click Install. The PowerPack is added to the PowerPacks page.

If you exit the PowerPack Installer modal without installing the imported PowerPack, the imported PowerPack will not appear in the PowerPacks 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.
