Fetch Event Field Mapping

Fetch Event commands require event field mapping. Field mapping plays a key role for data normalization within the event pipeline. Field mapping converts the original data fields from the different providers to standardized D3 fields as defined by the D3 Model. Refer to Event and Incident Intake Field Mapping for details.

To add a custom field, click on the + Add Field button. Users can also remove built-in field mappings by clicking x. Note that two underscore characters will automatically prefix the defined Field Name as the System Name for a custom field mapping. Additionally, if an input Field Name contains any spaces, they will automatically be replaced with underscores for the corresponding System Name.

As a system integration, the ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus integration has some pre-configured field mappings for default field mapping.

  • Default Event Source

    The Default Event Source is the default set of field mappings that are applied when this fetch event command is executed. For out-of-the-box integrations, users will find a set of field mappings provided by the system. Default event source provides field mappings for common fields from the fetched data. The default event source has a "Main Event JSON Path" (i.e. $.requests) that is used to extract a batch of events from the response raw data. View the "Main Event JSON Path" by clicking on the Edit Event Source button.

    • Main Event JSON Path: $.requests

      The Main Event JSON Path determines the root path where the system starts parsing raw response data into D3 event data. The JSON path begins with $, representing the root element. The path is formed by appending a sequence of child elements to $, each separated by a dot (.). Square brackets with nested quotation marks ([‘...’]) should be used to separate child elements in JSON arrays.

      For example, the root node of a JSON Path is $.requests. The child node denoting the Event Type field is .request_type.name. Putting it together, the JSON Path expression to extract the Event Type is $.requests.request_type.name.

The pre-configured field mappings are detailed below:
