Demo! Application metrics and Event-Driven Ansible

Your data is everything! Integrations with observability platforms allow Event-Driven Ansible to take advantage this data to execute automation in response to thresholds you define.
In this demo, Colin walks through a custom integration he created for Datadog to demonstrate how application metrics can be used to trigger automation, how the initial event can be enriched and how this intelligence can be combined to create more precise automation in dynamic environments. Custom collection for datadog: github.com/cloin/cloin.datadog/tree/main (available on galaxy: cloin.datadog) Project repository to try it yourself with Datadog or Prometheus: github.com/cloin/swingsight_metrics/tree/main

Does the AWX version 23 have this event driven functionality?

Hey, thanks for the question, it does not.
