Alarm Category → Create
AI-generatedSummary
Creates a new alarm category in NetXMS by POSTing a name and optional description to the server's /v1/alarm-categories REST endpoint, and returns the server's response.
Inputs
- Name (required) — Display name of the new alarm category. Sent as
namein the request body. - Additional Fields — Collection of optional fields. Currently only Description (free-text description of the category). Any fields you add are merged into the request body alongside the name.
Output shape
One JSON item per input item, containing the response body returned by NetXMS for the created category.
The exact fields (such as the new category ID) depend on the NetXMS server response, which the node passes through unchanged. The node logs in to NetXMS with the credential's username and password to get a session token before the request. With Continue On Fail enabled, a failed item yields an item with an
errormessage instead of stopping the workflow.
Examples
Example 1: Create a category named 'Network Outages' with no description.
Resource: Alarm Category; Operation: Create; Name: Network Outages
Example 2: Create a described category for database alarms.
Name: Database; Additional Fields > Description: 'Alarms from database servers'
