About the connector
The Gigamon Platform includes hardware and software applications that provide intelligent network traffic visibility across on-premises, virtual and cloud environments.
This document provides information about the Gigamon connector, which facilitates automated interactions with Gigamon using FortiSOAR™ playbooks. Add the Gigamon connector as a step in FortiSOAR™ playbooks and perform automated operations, such as adding and removing a rule from an existing map and retrieving a list of rules from a specified map from Gigamon.

Included playbooks
The Sample - Gigamon - 1.0.0 playbook collection comes bundled with the Gigamon connector. This playbook contains steps using which you can perform all supported actions. You can see the bundled playbooks in the Automation > Playbooks section in FortiSOAR™ after importing the Gigamon connector.
Note: If you are planning to use any of the sample playbooks in your environment, ensure that you clone those playbooks and move them to a different collection, since the sample playbook collection gets deleted during connector upgrade and delete.
