Action Start Condition
Skip an Action - or force it to run - based on the xRunBook Status
Start conditions allow flexibility in the way RunBooks are executed.
There may be times during a RunBook execution that a step can be skipped - based on different inputs, or values obtained during execution.
Let's look at the
Delete Old EBS Snapshots RunBook (this is a built in RunBook that is part of every unSkript install). There are 3 input parameters for this RunBook:
- AWS Region (optional)
- SnapshotID (optional)
- "days until old."
Here are the steps in the RunBook:
- 1.AWS List all Regions
- 2.
- 3.Delete the snapshots
If the RunBook has a Region supplied as input - there is no reason to run Step 1 - AWS List all Regions. So we can enable a start Condition:
This Action will run if there is no value in the region variable. If there is a value in region - we can skip this step.
Run 1: No region:
- Get all the regions
- Find all of the Snapshots in all regions
- Delete them
Run 2: region = "us-west-2":
- Skip "get all regions"
- Find the Snapshots in us-west-2
- Delete them.
