Automate tasks in your IT landscape, remediate problems, and visualize processes
AppWorkflows is one of the built-in apps shipped with Dynatrace. A series of actions are assembled to build processes in a graphical representation. Those workflows can automatically be triggered by events in Dynatrace, either on a schedule or manually.
This is intended for users, who:
Workflows allows you to:
The Workflows app comes preinstalled with all Dynatrace SaaS environments. Launching the app will provide you with an overview of your existing workflows and options to create new ones from scratch or using templates.
Either way will land you in the workflow editor. Feel free to change the workflow title at the top (Untitled Workflow).
We suggest sticking with the on-demand trigger to start and add a JavaScript action for the first task. It already comes with sample code which retrieves your user information and logs it.
The first time pressing the Run button will prompt you to authorize the automation service to run functions on your behalf. Select allow and run if you're fine with that. Permissions can be limited in the settings.
The execution monitor opens, presenting you with a live view on the running workflow execution.
Congratulations, you successfully ran your very first workflow!
In our daily work we touch many applications. Connecting these systems enables you to automate your processes and break up silos. Orchestrate the old, the new, on-premises, and in the cloud.
Graphical workflows - Compile and configure your workflows in an intuitive graphical user interface, drag-and-drop tasks and draw dependencies. A list of out-of-the-box actions for common tasks like sending notifications or creating tickets get you going quickly, while custom scripts enable you to deal with any eventuality and individual requirements.
Event triggers - Run workflows whenever Davis™ identifies problems, notify on-call operators, and create tickets for the appropriate teams. Extend disks in your cloud environment when the storage of your services runs full or roll back a feature flag upon increased error rates. Event triggers allow you to run workflows in response to any kind of event in Dynatrace.
Schedules - Need to poll an API every few minutes or send a report on Monday morning, but only on working days? Timezone-aware schedules combined with dynamic recurrence rules are built to accommodate the complexities of globally acting enterprises.
Live monitoring and audit ready - Who, what, when, where, and why. See what’s happening, while it’s happening. Get a full audit trail of each task and every third-party system interaction. No magic, full transparency!
Connecting cloud and on-premises applications - Deploy the optional EdgeConnect in your data center or cloud infrastructure. This allows Workflows to span across your cloud and on-premises applications.
Implement custom AI analysis in Grail data lakehouse using Davis® for Workflows.
Create new EdgeConnect configurations and manage forwarding of HTTP requests.
Create, query, comment, transition, and resolve Jira tickets within workflows.
Create powerful, data-driven documents for custom analytics and collaboration.
Automate Slack messaging for security incidents, attacks, remediation, and more.
