Open integration

The single, consistent resource model, REST APIs, and SCMB (State-Change Message Bus) enable you to use scripting to integrate HPE OneView with other enterprise applications to address user needs and perform tasks such as:

• Automating standard workflows and troubleshooting steps

• Automating integrations with other software, such as a CMDB (configuration management database)

• Connecting to service desks

• Monitoring resources, collecting data, and mapping and modeling systems

• Exporting data to formats that suit your needs

• Attaching custom databases, data warehouses, or third-party business intelligence tools

• Integrating in-house user customizations

The SCMB is an interface that uses asynchronous messaging to notify subscribers of changes to managed resources—both logical and physical. For example, you can program applications to receive notifications when new server hardware is added to the managed environment or when the health status of physical resources changes—without having to continuously poll the appliance for status using the REST APIs.
