How to manage azure Automation through MS Graph API

sergecal 26

Dear all,

For our customer we are using Azure Automation for running different script based on action.
We face for some limitation on those script execution when it belongs to different separate task.

We would like to integrate such script execution from our Atlassian Jira Service Desk Catalog.
The idea is based on user request from the catalog, we access through scripting to Azure Automation services by using Ms Graph API.

Could you please provide the place where I could find out the different API related to Azure Automation in MS Graph ?
I could not find those clearly

Thanks for help

@sergecal - Thanks for your question.

Are you looking to managing the Azure Automation service through MS Graph API?
If yes, the below Rest API (Graph API is not available) will help meet your requirement eventually.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/automation/

Alternatively, if you are looking on triggering Azure Automation programmatically through URL Endpoint?
This can help you get started: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-webhooks
The execution of the Azure Automation begins when the endpoint is hit.

Apologies, if my understanding is incorrect. Request you to elaborate a bit to improve my understanding.

Hello @svijay-MSFT , thanks for your reply and sorry for late response.
The idea is that we want to execute an Azure Automation script from Jira with that sample step.

Note that so far our script are in python

1 - Authenticate to Azure automation
2- Connect to runbook
3- Get the script name to execute somehow
4 - Send a kind of action to execute the script

Is that possible ?

Certain of our Azure script can takes 30ms to execute even more sometimes, is there also a way to receive a Script Job status when the running script is completed sucessfully ?

Regards

@sergecal - apologies for the delay in the response. If my understanding is correct you'd like to get the status of the job - that has been triggered.

GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts/{automationAccountName}/jobs/{jobName}?api-version=2017-05-15-preview

This will give information of the job including the Job status.

@svijay-MSFT thanks for your reply.

I have try your sugestion and it works ok I can get the job status but pooling from Jira is not so confident.

Is there a way inside Azure Automation to call from script an API Endpoint when a Job status change ?
I mean is it possible for an Azure script to be trigger when Azure Automation status change.

If that is possible, then the new status will be directly given to Jira from the source

Thanks for help

@Calderara Serge - Unfortunately, there is no subscription mechanism for the job status change. However, the work around I can think of - is having the endpoint (invoke-webrequest for powershell) called within the Azure Automation script. So, the last line of the script will contain the code to trigger the endpoint. The endpoint is triggered when the script completes. This will indirectly meet your requirement. Pls let me know your thoughts.
