• How to use ThousandEyes Webhook Notifications and vManage APIs to automate central policy activation based on Webhook Notifications for alerts from ThousandEyes.

To use this code you will need:

• Python 3.7+
• vManage user login details. (User should have privilege level to activate central policies)
• Set up Webhook Notification Rules for Alerts on ThousandEyes dashboard (Reference: https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/alerts/using-webhooks-server-sample-code-included)

• Clone the code to local machine.

git clone https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/SDWAN-TE-Integration.git
cd SDWAN-TE-Integration

• Setup Python Virtual Environment (requires Python 3.7+)

python3.7 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

• Create config_details.yaml using below sample format to provide the login details of vManage.

# vManage Connectivity Info

vmanage_host: 
vmanage_port: 
vmanage_username:
vmanage_password:

# Central Policy name

central_policy_name:

• Run the script using the command python3 sdwan-te-integration.py and once Webhook Server receives alert from the ThousandEyes it triggers API call to vManage to activate the Central Policy with name as provided for the variable central_policy_name in config_details.yaml

$ python3 sdwan-te-integration.py
