Define a Namespace

A namespace defines the scope of a definition. In the Cisco Observability Platform, namespace and domain are synonymous because every domain exists within a unique namespace. To define a new namespace:

  1. In a new file, <your-solution-name>/fmm/objects/namespace.json, define a knowledge object of type fmm:namespace.

  2. Add the new fmm:namespace object to your solution:

    1. Make the following changes to your solution manifest file (<your-solution-name>/manifest.json):

      1. In dependencies, add fmm.
      2. In objects, add this snippet:
      {
  "type": "fmm:namespace",
  "objectsFile": "fmm/objects/namespace.json"
}

    2. Validate manifest.json with the command fsoc solution validate.
