Events and notifications
The Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly known as Cisco DNA Center) provides the ability to publish event notifications that enable third party applications to listen to any issues detected by Cisco DNA Assurance, as well as System-level and task-based operational notifications from Catalyst Center, and more.
The platform provides an ability to receive custom notifications when events are triggered. This is valuable for third party systems that would like to take business actions based on the type of event. For instance, when some of the devices in the network are out of compliance, a custom application may want to receive notifications and execute a software upgrade action.
Imagine performing automation workflows on Cisco Catalyst Center which require a stipulated time. In a vanilla environment, an end application may poll Catalyst Center frequently to get a status update for the task. By subscribing to the task completion event and receiving notifications, polling can be totally avoided. This allows you to optimize the extra network and compute costs involved with polling resources.
In order to receive events and notifications, a user must provide a receiving URL (also called as Webhook call back URL). The Cisco Catalyst Center can then publish events to the call back URL via HTTP POST information.
