Question

How to report the status of robot resources without using the RPA Resource Dashboard

Hi,

Requirement:

Operations would like to be prompted when any robot resource is offline, so that recovery action can take place to put the robot back online.

Possible solutions:

1. In the first instance this may be a Operations  interface within appian which looks like the RPA resource page. Future would be to prompt Operations that action is required by raising a task or send an email. 

Is there a way to capture the information shown on the RPA Resources page specifically the resource name and status?

2. have a robot process regularly scheduled as a "ping" to check a resource is online and report the results of the robot process and assume if robot process failed then prompt Operations.

Thoughts?

Thanks

    Did you check the Appian RPA API?

    Had a look - Get Robot List seemed a likely candidate.

    The Get robot list call seems to return the details I need. Just have to wrap up in an interface.

    However in creating the connected system and integration to call the get robot list the authentication has to be specified as Authorization Bearer and I cannot get the connected system to pass this as an api key. If the integration has a header with name authorization and value of Bearer & myapikey then it works. Any ideas?
