Integrating Using the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol 
(AMQP)
Use AMQP to create Process Orchestrator triggers for events that occur out on the IT landscape for 
which Cisco does not have adapters. For example, to trigger a Process Orchestrator process in response 
to a syslog event:
Step 1
https://github.com/bkjones/bevis
Step 2
Set up the IT landscape elements (application) to post messages to the newly created queue.
Step 3
Set up a Process Orchestrator trigger from the queue/exchange.
