Funny, while I was reading the site, I was wondering if you could build crons on it - and that was the last example :-)
Some cool things I'd like to try would be:
"Create an alert whenever [EVENT] happens and contact [whomever]"
"Give me a system summary every morning at 9:15 AM called "Stand-up Status"
"Summarize all events for [OBJECT] each [TIME PERIOD] and send a report daily at X"
"Give the CFO a daily spend report each morning"
-
Can it do things like this?
With the exception of the first example (I'm not sure how good it would be at event monitoring like that, though we're absolutely going to try it out!), I think all of these should work. We've tested the daily spend report already.
Give it a shot and let us know how it works for you!
"Alert me anytime someon attempts to login to [SENSITIVE SYSTEM]
-
Can this do SPLUNK like log analytics?
"Give me a table of all activity of [TYPE] in [THESE LOGS/SYSTEMS]" (for whatever metric youre tracking)
"Give me a cron of uptime every hour for [system, site, cluster, whatever]"
"create a status page for critical systems A B C X Y Z"

I dont have any AWS infra to throw this at right now - but I do love this
As a Dir. Of DevOps in my career - these were very common questions thrown at me on the regular from PMs, C-suite, engineering etc...
So if this were a self-service query portal for teams with permissions/roles on what sort of questions could be asked from other teams that would be cool.
this is read only? It cant deploy/launch/buy services can it?
Similar to the logs/systems access. If AWS or k8s can read the logs, there is a chance we can crunch them, if they are in a separate logging platform, we would currently be unable to fetch that information. Great ideas for future features though!
It is currently read only yes.
