Automation Projects

Use this app to to create automation cards. Focus on creating reusable projects and configurations session for your organization's day to day activities.

note: for legacy projects refer to "taskmanager readme" document.

Introduction

A diverse set of automation types are supported. You can either use single action automation or use third applications that proffer automation functionality. Generally speaking you should use the automation framework when you have a process that:

• generates output that needs to be persisteed
• runs need to be tracable for further review
• you need to specifcy a heterogenous target environment

Example Integrations

Interactive Dashboard for the Izy-Proxy CLI

Generally speacking these items will generate the following tasks

• runtimeid: would be in the "default" or "current browser" environment.
• execution model: service call
• scheduling: manual (initiated by the user)
• stateful: no
• execution tracking: no

The dashboard input will be provided as the $cmd variable. The Action field will specify either a static module:

module?fn

Or a third party package

node_modules/izyware-dataconsole-elasticsearch/delete?byId

Data Scraping and Change Detection

A typical flow in the entry point module would be:

['net.httprequest', {

method: 'POST',

url: 'end_point',

body: JSON.stringify({ })

}],

['assert.value', {

contextName: 'my context',

headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8' },

status: 200,

responseText: JSON.stringify({"success":true})

}],

['task.progress', 10],

You can use the state variable to detect changes. Note that it is recommanded that:

• includes the IDs of the objects, processing state, and result pointers
• hash of the payload should be stored for detecting dups
• dups should be allowed. This will ensure that the reruns and the end to end process is repeatable.

For full white papers on these implementation refer to apps/smtprelay/V documentation.

Device Manager

You can utilize the the ping data from the device manager to automate tasks. Refer to the related documentation for this. The current implementation implements the following states:

• queued: the user marked the task for running, waiting for next ping from the client tab
• waiting for runner: ping api instructed the client tab to run the apploder.js script.
• capturing state: apploder.js is running is about to query the state

Data Model

• Task Object

* name

* description

* scheduling and automatic running (rerun feature)

* manual/automatic, period (how often to run)

* currentClusterGroupId: the current taskrun group id.

It is used to determine the current running state, etc.

* enable/disable: needed for pausing running tasks specially the ones with rerun features

* execution tracking: progress, durtaion, outcome tracking and historical storage

* runningstate: dormant, queued for pickup, running -> dormant

* parametersJSON:

* This will get injected into the entrypointmodule by the framework.

* This value cannot be modified by the task and is set from the admin dashboard or the API.

* Examples of this value:

* Static configuration

* Credentials

* API keys

* stateJSON(optionl): Can be used to store states that might be useful for periodic task.

* Examples of this value:

* last ID retrieved

* time span synced

* etc.

* This value can and should be modified by the task.

* runtimeid: Determines the hosting environment for the task.

* Examples

* url address for the service

* arn for the node inside the izycloud

• Taskrun Object:

* runningstate: created|queued|running|complete

* exitcode: success:0,1,2,

* reason string

* starttime

* endtime

* logid: pointer to the logfile on S3

* taskId

* clusterGroupId

* parametersJSON

* stateJSON

Implementing a task runner

The reference implementation for the taskrunner can be found at: izy-proxy/taskrunner/process.js. In case you need to implement your own customer task runner, you can use the task management APIs. The following end-points are available:

Taskrunner API Interface

• apiPakcageName:readList: Gets the list of "queued" tasks for your runtimeid and returns a taskToRun instance object
• apiPakcageName:crud?progress: Set progress and reason for the task.
• apiPakcageName:crud?taskOutcome: Record the execution outcome of the task.
• apiPakcageName:run?queueForReRunIfEnabled

As it relates to using the legacy taskrunner, the current latest apiPakcageName is apps/tasks/5/api.

Scripting your own task runner

The latest version is apps/tasks/7:api. You can use this inside a CLI script:

await modtask.newChainAsync([

['runpkg.setSession', { authorizationToken }],

['//izyware/apps/tasks/7:api?queueForRunning', { taskIds }]

]);

Known Bugs and Issues

• Add execution model type to task object

* async worker: the task gets added and the "worker" will pick it up

* service call: lunched directly and hitting a service end-point

• the error "parseProjectCard cannot get queryObject from action parameters. Please check the parameters. The error was: queryObject is not defined" should be handled gracefully in the terminal window with actionable link to correction.
• add options to cards for call signature prefix

* Named JSON IO (//service/...) signature.

* Direct JSON I/O (adds /apigateway/) -- this is the default

* RAW HTTP

* will have options

• migration for "Filter Proxy" to unified

* replace route with "individualroutingrule"

* After this is done we can remove individualproxy and individualroutingrule item type

• add (transport agent) configuration option.
• The card click should expose additional "placeholder" tabs for backwards compat with task manager

* new tab for statemanagement

* new tab for history

* new tab for events (to cover rerun, etc.)

• AV monitor migration

* device manager / triggers / cptools pipeline should be automated on a rerun loop

* pulls visual data from two chrome device services

* be able to define data "destination" for each device

* share with a single account.

• (legacy taskmanager) Rename parameters to runtime config

* UX should allow the user to pick a module from a module picker

* also check boxes for things like forcepackagereload, etc.

• Tool for tracking live taskrunners

* get rid of the ability to do this from the task level

• fix bug: isolated registered chain handlers on each task run iteration
• create sample node module projects for task that increments the state and publish it.
• add logs button to the info tab for the task
• logs view shows logs for all instances
• dropdown should allow filtering for each instance
