If you have ServiceDesk Plus installed in your network, you can automatically log trouble tickets from OpManager DE for specific network faults. So, besides the provision to email, sms, or notify fault in other forms, you can also track the faults by logging trouble tickets to ServiceDesk Plus. This helps in issue tracking. This integration can be done only from the Central web client.

For logging the trouble ticket to ServiceDesk Plus correctly, you need to ensure the following:
  1. Incoming Mail Settings must be configured properly in ServiceDesk Plus.
  2. ServiceDesk Plus Settings must be configured in OpManager DE.
  3. A notificaton profile to log a trouble ticket to ServiceDesk Plus must be configured and associated.
