AutomationEngine Workflows
Workflows are automated sequences: trigger → condition → action. Run DQL queries on schedule, react to events, or chain multiple steps.
import { automationClient } from "@dynatrace-sdk/client-automation";
const workflow = await automationClient.createWorkflow({
title: "Daily Host Report",
trigger: { type: "Schedule", schedule: { rule: "0 8 * * *" } },
tasks: [
{
name: "query_hosts",
action: "dynatrace.automations:run-javascript",
input: { script: `return await fetch('/platform/storage/query/v1/query:execute', ...)` }
}
]
});
💡 Workflows vs App Functions: workflows run on a schedule or trigger. App functions run on-demand from your UI.
