Creating Applications

To create an application for Data Connector traffic flows, do the following:

1. Log in to the Infoblox Portal.

2. Click Configure > Integrations > Data Connector. Click Configure > Integrations > Data Connector.

3. On the Data Connector page, navigate to the Applications tab and click Create.

4. In the Create Automation Wizard, do the following:

   • Name: Enter a distinctive name for this application. This is a required field.

   • Description: Provide a description of up to 256 characters. For App Direct Marketplace scripts, this field will be auto-generated based on the subscription.

   • Variables: Click Add, and specify key-value pairs to associate with the application. System tags cannot be created by any end user since they are system created.

     • KEY: Enter a meaningful name for each variable, such as location or department. For application scripts subcribed to in the AppDirect Marketplace, use the key assigned to your Cloud Services Portal account to create a webhook.

     • VALUE: Assign values accordingly. Values of Keys will be available as Environment variables to the script, that can be accessed from the script code.

   • Script Options: Choose between using Script editor or importing scripts.

     • Script editor: Select this option to input or copy/paste your script into the designated field. Please note that scripts must be written in Python.

     • Import script: Select this option if you wish to import a AppDirect Marketplace script by clicking on "Select file." Please note that imported scripts will not be visible in the script editor in order to preserve customer intellectual property rights. However variables can be assigned at the time of subscribing in the Marketplace, or can be edited in the Data Connector Applications panel.

   • Tags: Click Add and specify a key-value pair to associate with the application:

     • KEY: Enter a meaningful name for the key, such as a location or department.

     • VALUE: Enter a value for that key. For more information, see Managing Tags.

5. To save the application configuration, click Save & Close.
