Automate SIGNL4 Alert Resolution with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automates the process of managing SIGNL4 alerts. It periodically checks for pending alerts, processes their status, and either triggers a new alert or resolves an existing one based on predefined conditions. This ensures efficient and timely handling of critical incidents.
About This Workflow
The 'SIGNL4 Alert' n8n workflow provides an intelligent solution for managing your SIGNL4 incident response. Triggered hourly by a Cron node, it reads from and writes to a persistent 'alert-data.json' file, maintaining the state of your alerts. The workflow converts binary data to JSON, allowing it to check the 'Done' status of an alert. If an alert is not marked as done, it's sent as a new SIGNL4 alert with specific location data. If it is marked as done, the workflow resolves the corresponding alert in SIGNL4. This loop ensures that alerts are acknowledged, processed, and subsequently cleared from your monitoring system, streamlining incident management and reducing manual intervention.
Key Features
- Scheduled Alert Monitoring: Automatically checks for alert updates at a set interval (hourly).
- Stateful Alert Management: Utilizes binary files to maintain alert status between runs.
- Conditional Alerting: Dynamically creates new alerts or resolves existing ones based on alert status.
- External ID Integration: Leverages external IDs for seamless referencing and resolution within SIGNL4.
- Geospatial Alerting: Supports adding precise location data to new SIGNL4 alerts.
How To Use
- Cron Node: Configure the
Cronnode to set the desired frequency for checking and processing alerts (e.g.,everyHour). - File Nodes: Ensure the
Read Binary FileandWrite Binary Filenodes are configured to use a consistent file path (alert-data.json) for storing and retrieving alert states. - SIGNL4 Credentials: Set up your SIGNL4 API credentials in n8n and select them in both the
SIGNL4 AlertandSIGNL4 Resolvenodes. - SIGNL4 Alert Node: Customize the
messageandexternalIdparameters within theSIGNL4 Alertnode to dynamically pull data from the processed JSON. ConfigurelocationFieldsUias needed. - IF Node: Define the condition in the
IFnode to check theDonestatus from theBinary to JSONnode. This determines whether to trigger a new alert or resolve an existing one. - Mark as Done Node: Adjust the
functionCodein theMark as Donenode to correctly map the relevant data from previous nodes (e.g.,Body,eventId,lastId) and set theDoneflag.
