How does Digital Assistant work?
Pull-Message (blue)
The user sends an instant message to the platform to ask for the HTTP status of a server. The request is processed by the chatbot who queries the Icinga system and returns the result to the user via instant message.
Push-Message (red)
An alert (e.g., system or service is unavailable) is pushed to the Business Bot Platform by the Icinga plugin (called Icinga Notifier), and the platform takes care of delivering the alarm information as an instant message to various users, distribution lists, or groups.
