To use this spoke, an Integration Hub subscription is required. The spoke is designed primarily for Azure Traffic Manager version 2022-04-01 but may support later versions.
Key Features
- Traffic Manager Endpoint Management: Create, delete, retrieve, and update Traffic Manager endpoints.
- Profile Management: Create, delete, look up, and update Traffic Manager profiles; check DNS name availability; search profiles by resource group or subscription ID.
- Connection Management: Utilizes Integration Hub aliases to manage connection and credential information efficiently, simplifying credential updates across environments without modifying individual actions.
Requirements and Dependencies
- Client ID and Client Secret from the Azure Traffic Manager registered in the Azure portal.
- Installation of dependent plugins such as IntegrationHub Runtime, REST Action Step, Complex Object, Dynamic Inputs, Data Stream Action Template, and the Microsoft Azure Resource Management Spoke (v2.0.0).
- Licenses may be required for some plugins if used beyond this spoke's implementation; customers should consult their ServiceNow account manager for licensing details.
Setup and Configuration
No separate configuration is required for the Microsoft Azure Traffic Manager Spoke itself. However, the Microsoft Azure Resource Management Spoke must be installed and configured first, including setting up connection aliases. This prerequisite ensures that the Traffic Manager Spoke actions can be executed properly.
For detailed setup instructions, customers should refer to the Microsoft Azure Resource Management Spoke setup documentation.

| Category | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint Management | Create Endpoint | Creates a Traffic Manager Endpoint. |
| Delete Endpoint | Deletes a Traffic Manager Endpoint. | |
| Look up Endpoint | Retrieves the details of a Traffic Manager Endpoint. | |
| Update Endpoint | Updates a Traffic Manager Endpoint. | |

Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection. For more information, see .
