“Implementing CLIP within Sprint’s IT environment is enabling data integration in support of superior processes and organizational efficiencies.

Sprint IT will support our Business partners by minimizing the need to depend on tribal knowledge and personal insight.

Immediate access to multiple sources of data from a single integrated system allows accelerated decision making.”

Neither process can stand alone in today’s IT environments

Event Management• Event – A change of state or alert that has significance for the management of a CI or IT Service

• Responsible for managing events throughout their lifecycle

• Tool: Operations Bridge (aka NOC)

ITILv3 Linkage of Event & Incident Management

Incident Management• Incident – Unplanned interruption, or reduction of quality, of an IT Service

• Includes any event which, or could, disrupts a service

• Tool: Service Desk

IT Service – People, processes & technology supporting a business processes

Recovery & Closure

Operations bridge console collects events from servers, networks, apps & 3rd party

Issue

Event overload, too much information to process

No linkage between events and the service model

Solution

All events appear in one console, correlated and enriched via a real time service model

User Example – Events to single console

End user experience slow SQL slow query performance alert J2EE DB collection pool issue

Event Correlation & Business Impact

Business services, business impact relationship, and SLAs determined

Issue

Struggle to link causal events to top down end-user experience and business impact

Solution

Service model based event correlation engine

Proactive end-user experience linked to business process and business transaction flow to identify impact on high revenue generating services

User Example - Cause from symptoms and impact

Oracle database is the cause Critical funds transfer business service

impacted

Incident Submission

Automatic/Manual incident submission to the service desk

Issue

Quality and enrichment of data Siloed and broken service lifecycle Duplication of effort wasting time

Solution

Better collaboration Automation and integrated of event to

incident process lifecycle

User Example - Automatic incident ticket creation

Ticket visible to ops bridge Assignment to correct subject matter

Recovery & Closure



Deeper diagnostics, subject matter expert tools, and knowledge management used to determine root cause

Issue

Significant resolution time spent on pinpointing problem in a dynamic heterogeneous IT universe

Incident assigned and reassigned to multiple silos

Solution

Cross domain data visualization and analysis

User Example - Diving deeper to find root cause

Expert sees corrupt DB tables Finds runbook automation fix in

knowledgebase

Recovery & Closure


Resolution

Change request for repairing the issue

Issue

Little or lack of automation leads to increased manual efforts impacting quality and efficiency

Solution

Expert created/authorized run book automation to empower lower level teams

Manage change, configuration, and release process

User Example - Processing the change

Get change request approval Use runbook to re-index database tables

Recovery & Closure

Automatically close events & related incidents

Issue

Struggle to improve speed of restoration, recovery and closure of incident and verify post compliance of SLA/OLA

Solution

Automate all notifications & updates, continuously monitor SLA/OLA compliance

User Example – Verify the change worked

User, DB and connection pool OK Incident ticket and events closed

BSM Data Sources

2 ServiceManager

1.BSM data sources send CI data as well as events and measurements.

2.DDM can be used to discover CIs & relations & populate them into the RTSM (BSM’s UCMDB).

3.CIs and relationships are pushed to SM.

4.BSM events become SM incidents and a bidirectional sync exists throughout the lifecycle.

5.SM users can asses business impact by launching the Business service Impact Report.

• This is the simplest/minimal CLIP use case that allows IT Efficiency and Automation Improvements.

• Products: BSM (RTSM, APM, OMi), At least one BSM data collector / data source, SM (Incident, configuration).

• CIs and relations are provided by the monitoring data collectors / data sources.

• DDM is optional.

1. BSM data sources send CI data as well as events and measurements.

2.DDM is used to discover CIs & relations & populate them into the UCMDB.

3.CIs and relationships are synched between the UCMDB & RTSM and are pushed to SM.

4. BSM events become SM incidents and a bidirectional sync exists throughout the lifecycle.

5. SM users can asses business impact by launching the Business service Impact Report.

• Use case motivation: This is our recommended strategy as it allows a better configuration management process and better alignment & focus on Business Priorities.

• Products: BSM (RTSM, APM, OMi), At least one BSM data collector / data source, SM (Incident, configuration), UCMDB.

• Discovery: DDM feeds the UCMDB server.

6.BSM user can use OO Run-Book invocation from the Service Health or OMi for helping with event diagnosis and very simple remediation.

• Use case motivation: Event automation with OO requires a considerable amount of investment for establishing a good automated triage process.

• Products: BSM (RTSM, APM, OMi), At least one BSM data collector / data source, SM (Incident, configuration), CMS (Discovery – one of the former options), OO.

6. BSM user can use OO Run-Book invocation from the Service Health or OMi for helping with event diagnosis and very simple remediation.

7.SM user uses the SM KM module in order to be more efficient in his incident triage process and then can invoke the OO Run-Books for remediation purpose directly from the KM articles.

• Use case motivation: Implementing a good KM module for the sake of the help desk is again a considerable project/effort.

• Building a Automation run-book remediation library in OO will be based on the KM module implementation as its enabler.

• Products: BSM (RTSM, APM, OMi), At least one BSM data collector / data source, SM (Incident, configuration, Knowledge, Change), CMS (Discovery – one of the former options), OO.
