Device Health Monitoring Automation with Claude

What you will be able to do

• Define a platform-neutral health model covering VIP status, uptime, HA state, sync state, version and last change for every device class
• Collect health signals from F5 iControl REST and tmsh, Citrix NetScaler NITRO, Radware Alteon via Cyber Controller, other load balancers (Anaya LB) and Cisco APIC REST
• Use Claude with tool use and structured JSON outputs to turn raw evidence into a cited, severity-ranked health verdict
• Create or update ServiceNow incidents through the Table API and Flow Designer with deduplication and correlation IDs
• Run the whole workflow on a schedule under approvals, guardrails and a complete audit trail
