Events

Itential Automation Platform (IAP) publishes events using an internal Event System. To subscribe to an event topic, a source and event handler need to be provided. The format is source, topic, handler as illustrated in this example:

eventSystem.subscribe("@itential/app-workflow_engine", “jobStart”, jobStartHandler);

Job Events

Event topics published to the IAP environment are referenced in the table below.

Job SLA Events

There are two main avenues for the events defined above to be used within the platform: Operations Manager Triggers and the EventListenerJob Task within a workflow. Users can therefore build automations in Operations Manager that are triggered to fire an event when a job breaches its service level agreement (SLA). The event payload will contain the following:

{ job, runTime, slaDelta: runTime - job.sla, }

Configuration for the EventListenerJob task to receive the jobSlaBreach event is depicted in Figure 1.
