xoa automated tasks [workflow feature request]
-
Hi
quick question:
can Xoa do actions like this (oob)- ping vm A and in case of failure, shutdown vm A, and start vm B?
Do You plan to implement some kind of WORKFLOWs in xoa?
-
The specification is a bit thin. Also, which component will ping VM A?
BTW, you can already do that with a custom program and
xo-clicalls (or direct XO API calls) -
Hi
I didn't write up much becouse wanted to check if this's possible.
ping - icmp or other component
custom program is what I want to avoid, if I woud have it in xoa, then I simpy export xoa config file which as I presume contains all neccesery information to restore full config after xoa reinstallation -
What I mean by specification, I'm not talking about anything technical. Just the way you imagine it from the user perspective.
-
RIght now I had this simple scenario in my mind - ping vm a if no respond x time kill vm a, start vm b, but the workflow could do much more in much sofisticated way, for example in opmanager from manage engine i can build almost endless scenariors for what to do if there is alarm trigered
-
Ping @pdonias about the idea

Hi @akurzawa, this would be quite a big feature, please open an issue if you have something precise in mind (a list of possible actions, what could trigger a workflow, ideally some use cases that couldn't be done without it, etc.). Also, a lot can probably already be done with XO's Web Hooks,
xo-cliand a third party workflow tool in between.
