Properties list

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The following vRA Properties need to exist on the vRA Cloud Template to ensure the desired OneFuse Modules are called for the Deployment.

General use

Purpose: relate OneFuse Policy executions from different OneFuse Modules together with a Tracking ID

Property	Value format
`OneFuse_Tracking_Id`	A GUID (globally unique identifier) that links OneFuse Policy Executions and the resulting Managed Objects together for a given resource on a deployment. The first OneFuse Module Policy execution will populate this vRA property and it will be passed into other OneFuse Modules automatically. Learn more about OneFuse Tracking ID.

When a Tracking ID is not provided, a Tracking ID gets generated for the Policy execution.

OneFuse custom resources

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

To learn more, refer to VMware Docs: Custom Resources.

VMware Aria Automation version	OneFuse version
8.2+	1.2+

Introduction

Aria Automation 8.2+ allows you to create Custom Resources that can be treated as drag-and-drop elements directly onto a Cloud Template canvas.

For each of the OneFuse modules, you now have the capability to drag-and-drop any of the OneFuse modules directly onto the vRA Cloud Template canvas.

In addition, every OneFuse Custom Resource is capable of leveraging the Property Toolkit to consume integrations and drive dynamic outcomes in a standardized way.

Templating and Property Toolkit

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

To learn more, refer to the Templating guide and Property Toolkit features.

Introduction

The OneFuse Property Toolkit (PTK) is the Swiss army knife of the OneFuse Platform.

PTK can be used to simplify configurations, define business logic as configuration, build simple logic or tackle the most complex problems. At face value, the PTK is meta-data that can be called upon offering simple name value pairs that can be used as a reference for decision making. In its most powerful form, it can contain logic, decision trees, platform abstractions, and much more.
