Customizing Data Feed fields

Customizing Fields will enable you to use Impact Services as a Data feed.

When you select an Impact Service as a Data Feed for a rule, the Customize Field button appears. Clicking this button enables you to configure the Data Feed fields to match the Impact policy fields. The field names and types are default for Impact Services. You can add fields in the policy, and add the same field names in the rule. The names and types must match and are case sensitive. If they do not match, the rule will not work properly.

Note: You must configure the Impact policy and service before you customize fields in TBSM.

The table below describes the Customized Fields elements:
