Automate tasks

On the Automation page, review pipelines, monitor jobs, and manage hooks to run routine tasks automatically.

note

Automation features require the Operator or Admin role.

Open the Automation page

In the sidebar, select Automation.

Create a pipeline

note

Create Pipeline is a planned feature currently in progress.

The Create Pipeline button is in the upper-right corner of the Automation page. Pipelines are defined in YAML and run automatically when triggered.

A pipeline has three main sections: trigger, steps, and conditions. The Pipeline Configuration (YAML) panel on the page shows an example.

name: Weekly fleet health check
trigger:
  schedule: "0 9 * * 1"   # Every Monday at 09:00
steps:
  - action: scan
    target: all_systems
  - action: notify
    channel: slack
    message: "Weekly fleet scan complete. Review results in NimbusWiz."
conditions:
  on_failure: notify_admin

CI/CD Pipelines

The CI/CD Pipelines section lists every pipeline configured in NimbusWiz. Each card shows:

Field	Description
Name	The pipeline name
Status	Active or paused
Trigger type	Manual, Scheduled, or Event
Last run	How long ago the pipeline last ran
Success rate	The percentage of runs that completed without errors
Total runs	The total number of times the pipeline has run

Each card has three icon buttons: Run, Pause, and Configure.

Pipeline Visualization

The Pipeline Visualization section shows the standard pipeline execution sequence as a flow diagram. The stages are: Trigger, Prepare, Execute, Test, and Deploy. The diagram illustrates the architecture every pipeline follows.

Scheduled Jobs

note

Creating scheduled jobs is planned.

The Scheduled Jobs section lists every job configured to run on a recurring schedule. Each row shows:

Field	Description
Name	The job name.
Schedule	The cron expression that defines the recurrence
Next run	The date and time of the next scheduled execution
Status	Enabled or disabled

Event Hooks

note

Event hook creation is a planned feature currently in progress.

Event hooks trigger an action when a specific event occurs—for example, alerting the on-call team when stability drops below a threshold.

Event hooks are similar to webhooks, but they run inside NimbusWiz instead of sending payloads to an external URL.

The Event Hooks section lists every configured hook. Each card shows the event name, the action it triggers, and a toggle to enable or disable the hook.

Available events

The following events are available.

Event	Triggered when
System Health Critical	A system's health metrics fall into the critical range
Deployment Completed	A deployment finishes successfully
New Security Patch Available	NimbusWiz detects a new security patch for a registered system
Stability Below Threshold	A system's stability score drops below the configured threshold

Pipeline Configuration (YAML)

The Pipeline Configuration (YAML) section shows the raw YAML for the selected pipeline in a read-only code panel. The YAML defines the pipeline's trigger conditions, steps, and notification rules. Use it to review the configuration of an existing pipeline.

Recent Pipeline Runs

The Recent Pipeline Runs section lists the most recent pipeline executions. Each row shows:

Field	Description
Pipeline	The name of the pipeline that ran
Status	Success or failed
Duration	How long the run took
Time	How long ago the run occurred
