ocular
Framework to automate responses for infrastructure events.
Ocular allows to easily create small scripts which are triggered from multiple different event sources and which can then execute scripts commanding all kinds of infrastructure, do remote command execution, execute AWS API calls, modify databases and so on.
The goal is that a new script could be written really quickly to automate a previously manual infrastructure maintenance job instead of doing the manual job yet another time. Scripts are written in Ruby with a simple Ocular DSL which allows the script to easily respond to multitude different events.
Currently implemented event sources:
- HTTP calls
- RabbitMQ messages
- Timers
Planned event sources:
- SQS/SNS messages
- Zabbix alerts
- NATS broadcast messages
- salt-stack event bus
Currently implemented clients to external services (ie. what you can easily do once your event has been triggered):
- MySQL
- etcd
- RabbitMQ
- AWS/EC2
- Kafka (for logging)
- SSH for remote execution
Planned clients to external services:
- Graphite
- Zabbix configuration
- salt-stack remote state execution
