Ansible Integration
Gluware Network RPA provides native integration with Ansible providing a “Run Ansible playbook” task users can drag and drop into any workflow. This provides the ability to integrate one or more playbooks into any Gluware workflow. The task will run the user-defined playbook, providing programmatic interaction with the results and logging of the interaction. This expands use cases that include:
- Running pre and post-checks
- Using playbooks to automate additional components like servers, storage and more
- Expand coverage of compliance, security, verification and validation
Linux and Python Integrations
Gluware Network RPA provides the ability to automate Linux hosts and run Python scripts with the ‘Run OS shell commands’ task. This task automates the process of SSH to a Linux host and runs any user-defined commands to accomplish the automation requirement. Automating commands on Linux hosts can include network and security settings, troubleshooting with ping and traceroute, monitoring, automating backups and more. A powerful capability of this task is to run scripts including Shell, Perl, Ruby, Python and any other supported scripting language.
Benefits of automating Linux commands and scripts with Gluware include:
- Consistency and the elimination of human errors. Automating scripts ensures tasks are performed the same way across multiple hosts.
- Efficiency and time savings through automating repetitive tasks that can include system updates, software updates, backups and monitoring.
- Scalability and simplified orchestration by creating workflows in Network RPA that handle tasks across the network devices and servers for use cases including deploying applications or configuring services.
NetBox Integration
Gluware provides native integration with Netbox for seamless data synchronization. This integration empowers IT teams to maintain accurate and up-to-date device information by establishing a definitive Source of Truth.
Key Features of the Netbox Integration:
- Data Sync for Source of Truth: Our integration allows you to perform data synchronization between Gluware and Netbox, ensuring that your network information is consistently reliable and accurate.
- Device Detail Synchronization: Easily synchronize Gluware device details with your external Source of Truth, Netbox, helping you keep your device inventory current without manual intervention or additional scripting
- Dynamic Creation and Updates: Leverage Gluware Discovery to dynamically create and update devices within Netbox, streamlining the process of network management and documentation.
- User-Definable Sync Direction: Flexibility is key. With our integration, users can define the sync direction to determine the preferred Source of Truth, providing you with the control necessary to fit your operational needs.
- Comprehensive Metadata Synchronization: Synchronize essential device metadata, including sites, racks, and circuit IDs, ensuring that all critical information is consistently reflected across both platforms.
StackStorm Integration
Gluware Network RPA integrates with the open-source automation framework StackStorm providing the ability to ingest StackStorm integration packs and make them available as Network RPA tasks. StackStorm integration packs offer a broad array of integrations from cloud providers, monitoring, messaging and more.
Common StackStorm integration Use Cases Include:
- Cloud providers including AWS and Azure
- Monitoring and ITSM including Datadog, Nagios and ServiceNow
- Messaging including Slack, Kafka and Rabbitmq
