Custom flags can be posted to Observer to mark an integration event such as success or failure. These flags can be used to alert as well.
Procedure
The following steps describe how to create a method that will post your custom flag to Observer using Python and the AMQP Python client:
1. Create a method that will post the flag to Observer.

def postFlag():
credentials = pika.PlainCredentials('username','password')
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters('instance-amqp.perspectium.net',5672,'/',credentials))
channel = connection.channel()
channel.queue_declare()
channel.basic_publish(exchange='',routing_key='psp.in.servicenow',body='{ topic:"monitor", type:"label", key:"perspectiumdemo1", name:"integration.failed", value: "1"}')
connection.close() |
2. Call the postFlag() method in a try/catch block.
