Summit User / Analyst License

SymphonyAI Service Automation may require an Analyst License of SummitAI TISM. This depends on the requirement. Refer the below details.

  • Usually, SymphonyAI Service Automation owns the ticket logged for Service Automation, updates the tickets with output and resolves the ticket. In this scenario, an analyst license is needed and can be handled with two options.

    • Option 1: Dedicated analyst license for Service Automation.

    • Option 2: Share analyst license of one Resolver/Engineer. Drawback of this option is: All the updates the ticket carry the Resolver/Engineer’s name even though it’s updated by Service Automation.

Note

The analyst should be part of all the Workgroups where Service Automation involvement is required.

  • One API User is required for Service Automation to consume web services of SymphonyAI.

Other Requirements

  • Internet access is required to install the required PowerShell modules.

  • Connectivity should be available from the Proxy server to the Local Active Directory, Microsoft O365, and Azure AD.

  • VPN access is required to Application server, Database server and proxy server perform the installation/configuration of the Service Automation Application, Event Listener, and Execution Service.

  • Monitoring Account/Service Account is used for executing Service Automation script.

  • All the required CIs to be added into Summit CMDB.

  • SMTP or Mail Service to send notifications.
