Dynatrace Cloud Automation

Flow Designer has a Dynatrace Cloud Automation Event trigger and a built-in Dynatrace Cloud Automation step to help you integrate Dynatrace Cloud Automation into your alert management and incident response flows.

Dynatrace Cloud Automation Steps

The following step is available:

  • Finish Cloud Automation Event: sends a "finished" signal to Dynatrace Cloud Automation when preceding flow steps complete successfully. The "finished" signal allows the Cloud Automation sequence to continue.

The preceding graphic depicts an active Dynatrace Cloud Automation webhook. The flow is triggered by a Dynatrace Cloud Automation sequence notifying the Cloud Automation Event trigger. The flow then pulls commit information from GitHub, build information from Jenkins, and creates a work item in Azure DevOps Boards. The flow then connects to the Finish Cloud Automation Event step. If the commit, build, and work item steps are successfully completed, the Finish Cloud Automation step sends a signal (known as a finish event) back to Dynatrace Cloud Automation so the sequence can continue.

Finish Cloud Automation Event

When a Cloud Automation Event trigger is targeted by an active webhook in Dynatrace, the Finish Cloud Automation Event step sends the required finished event back to Cloud Automation so it can continue the sequence. Place this step in the flow at the point you consider it finished for the purposes of the Dynatrace Cloud Automation sequence. This step is only required when your Dynatrace Cloud Automation sequence requires a response from xMatters.

The built-in Dynatrace Cloud Automation Event trigger initiates a flow when it receives a signal from Dynatrace Cloud Automation.
