How do I create an event-driven Ansible rulebook to automate incident response?▼

Event-driven Ansible rulebooks automate incident response by defining rules with conditions and actions triggered by external events. You configure supported event sources like webhooks or Alertmanager to execute remediation actions such as run_playbook or run_module.

What event sources can I use to trigger an Ansible rulebook?▼

Ansible rulebooks support triggering from multiple event sources including webhook, Prometheus Alertmanager, Kafka, AWS SQS, Azure Service Bus, and file watchers. These sources enable automated responses for infrastructure, security, and CI/CD events.

Can I use an EDA Controller to manage and debug Ansible rulebooks?▼
