How to Create a Scheduled Job
Jobs allow you to define automations in Resoto and can be triggered on a regular schedule.
Prerequisites​
This guide assumes that you have already installed Resoto.
Directions​
-
Define the action you would like to automate. For example, let's say we want to send Discord alerts listing deprecated RDS instances:
> search is(aws_rds_instance) and db_type=aurora-postgresql and db_version~11 | discord title="Outdated Aurora databases found." message="This version is outdated and should be migrated!"tipSee Search How-To Guides for guidance on how to write search queries.
-
Determine the job schedule and define it using a cron expression. For example, if we want to run the job every Monday at 9am:
0 9 * * 1 -
Now that we've defined the action and decided on the schedule, create the job using the
job addcommand (replace the value of the--idparameter with a unique job identifier):> job add --id outdated_aurora --schedule "0 9 * * 1" 'search is(aws_rds_instance) and db_type=aurora-postgresql and db_version~11 | discord title="Outdated Aurora databases found." message="This version is outdated and should be migrated!"'
