ControlUp Users Discuss Trigger Export and Future Potential for Aggregated Alerts Portal

ControlUp users requested a PowerShell command to export all enabled triggers with configuration, and a possible solution was shared. It was mentioned that a new "alerts" portal will be available to aggregate all triggers, events, and alerts from physical, virtual, and Scoutbees, with potential for a public API in the future. This could improve IT service intelligence, mapping services to business processes. A one-time trigger export can help in understanding ControlUp’s detailed alerting process, but interested users can speak to their CSM/TSN for early access to the beta version of the new alerts portal.

Hi @all, we want to export all (enabled) triggers. This is easy with PS command "Get-CUTriggers -IsEnabled $true". But is there a PS command to export all enabled triggers with config (not as json)

Mfg CMM

you’ll need to use get-cutriggerdetails per trigger and save that. json is still preferrable

Thank you, i know this. I have to build a script with get-cutriggers(enabled) & get-cutriggerdetails. But thought there is PS command avail to list all triggers with details

Here is a (long) 😄 oneliner that gets you there… it will export a JSON per trigger, if that’s what you need… 😛

$dir = ".\CU-Trigger-Exports"; New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $dir | Out-Null; Get-CUTriggers -IsEnabled $true | ForEach-Object { $d = Get-CUTriggerDetails -TriggerId $_.TriggerId; $n = $d.TriggerName; if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($n)){$n=’noname’}; $safe = (($n -replace ‘[^\w\- ]’,”).Trim() -replace ‘\s+’,’_’); $file = Join-Path $dir ("{0}-{1}.json" -f $d.TriggerId,$safe); $d | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 32 | Set-Content -Encoding UTF8 $file }

indeed no command to get all but that nice juicy oneliner does it 🙂

@member, thank you. But i wrote a script yesterday to export all enabled trigger including settings. We plan to create a KI Portal to have a forecast when some (more then one) trigger(s) creating alarm, what can be happen and which other services / systems are going down or are affected.

it has been announced, there will be a new "alerts" portal which will aggregate all triggers/events/alerts from physical, vdi and scoutbees.

If this thing will recieve a public API then one would have a single datasource for all things happening in the environment.

I am strongly advocating for an API for this central alerts, because this will exactly enable the stuff you are probably trying to achieve without complicated scripting/exporting.

A colleague of mine explained me that this "big picture" is called IT service intelligence where you map all your services to business processes… 🙂

Sounds good, and what`s about the timeline for this ? Maybe we can save resources when waiting. Exporting out triggers is a one time export that the inhouse developer are anderstanding and knowing how CU is working and how detailed the alerting is working

talk you your csm/tsm maybe they can help with getting access to the beta
