Unreleased:
2 critical stories have been picked up that are soon to be completed:
- Adding multiple connectors of same source type:
Currently, we have an architecture where there's only one connector feasible for a single connector. With this update, we will allow for multiple connectors of the same type to be added within any account. This will make it a 2 tier connector-source configuration now. - De-linking tasks with connectors:
A playbook comprises of multiple steps. Each steps is a set of tasks which could be fetching metrics, logs, db queries, bash commands or more.
In the current architecture, any step within the playbook needs to be mapped with a pre-configured integration. This makes it hard for teams to copy steps between different playbooks or create steps for tools that might not have been integrated yet, but would be.
To overcome this barrier, we will be removing the need to mandatorily have an connected integration within the task of a playbook. In case an integration is marked in the step but is not configured, it will now send a warning to user that connector is not added.
