Custom Integrations

CA SOI also provides the following tools for defining custom integrations:

Universal connector

Provides a web services interface that products can use to publish new services, CIs, and events, which are normalized to a common format and made available to the SA Manager. The Universal connector can retrieve services, CIs, and status events from various CA Technologies and third-party products.

Connector SDK

Provides the ability to develop custom connectors. The SDK includes a Sample connector, which provides the framework for writing a connector to integrate with important applications in your enterprise.

Event connector

Collects events from low-level event sources, transforms them into the CA SOI alert format, and displays them as infrastructure alerts in CA SOI associated with existing or created CIs.
