Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Pre-Built Wizard

Table of Contents

Overview

This pre-built includes both the Prebuilt Wizard and Prebuilt Wizard Re-Discovery automation catalog items. The Pre-Built Wizard AC focuses on pre-built creation and export. More information can be found in the What is Pre-Built Wizard section

Note: The terms Artifact and Pre-built are synonyms.

What is Pre-Built Wizard

The Pre-Built Wizard pre-built is composed of two automation catalog entries to help you create and update pre-builts. Pre-Built Wizard allows you to create new bundles (shown as installed prebuilt in admin essentials) from pre-defined entrypoint list (Operations Manager(s), Automation Catalog(s), and/or Workflow(s)). After performing discovery, Pre-Built Wizard will display the full list of components that will be used to create the Pre-Built bundle's artifact.json file. Users have the option to modify this list during the automation, provided Zero Touch mode is not selected. Pre-Built Wizard will install the Pre-Built into Admin Essentials and provide a download link for the bundle file. If components of this Prebuilt change over time, the Prebuilt Wizard Re-Discovery automation catalog item can be used run discovery on the prebuilt again and update the component list in Admin Essentials.

How to Install

To install Pre-Built Wizard, verify you are running a supported version of Itential Automation Platform (IAP) as listed above in the Requirements section. If you do not currently have App-Artifacts installed as a service on your node, the .tgz file or "tarball" can be obtained from the Nexus repository. Please refer to the instructions included in the App-Artifacts README to install it.

Pre-Built Wizard can be installed from within Admin Essentials. Simply search for prebuilt-wizard and click the Install button as shown below.

Alternatively, you may download the artifact.json file, and import it through admin essentials app.

Supported Components

The Itential Automation Platform components that Pre-Built Wizard can currently consume include:

  • Automation Catalog items
  • Operations Manager items
  • Form Builder Forms
  • JSON-Forms
  • Mop-Templates
  • Mop-Analytic Templates
  • Workflows
  • Transformations
  • Jinja2 Templates
  • TextFSM Templates
  • Golden Configuration Trees

Creating A New Pre-Built bundle

To create a new Pre-Built bundle, you must fill out the necessary form data for the automation. These fields include:

  • scope
  • pre-built name
  • pre-built description
  • License (optional)
  • contributor
  • README
  • categories (optional)
  • keywords (optional)
  • entry point(s)

Pre-builts must have a scope specified.

It is important to remember that the entry point to the bundle for the Pre-Built Wizard automation Catalog must be an Operations Manager(s), Automation Catalog(s), Workflow item(s). The item(s) should supply both a workflow and a form as an entry point for the Pre-Built. Any job variables required for the workflow to run should be supplied by the accompanying form, and will be accessible to the workflow via the formData object.

After you click the Run button, Pre-Built Wizard will discover all dependencies required by the workflow selected in the Automation Catalog item, as well as version information for each IAP application required to install the bundled Pre-Built. The results of the discovery will be displayed for you to confirm (when not running in Zero Touch mode).

Updating A Pre-Built Bundle

The Prebuilt Wizard Re-Discovery automation catalog item consists of a form with one required field: the name of the Prebuilt installed in admin essentials. After selecting the Prebuilt to run Re-Discovery on, press start. If there are components that are no longer inlucded in the Prebuilt, be sure to remove them when working the first manual task in the workflow. Further, if there are any components that were manually added to the Prebuilt, ensure that those items are still present in this manual task. Any new components will be discovered and the new prebuilt contents will replace the old in Admin Essentials.
