        <dc:creator><![CDATA[@jamesdreid James Reid]]></dc:creator>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>You best bet it likely to just make all the actions in the common pack accept the credentials passed in a input to the action and then store all the credentials in the keystore in a format that matches what needs to be passed to the actions. The keystore names and be tied to the packname of the individual tenets and then you can reuse the workflows that will extract the Postgres credentials from the keystore and then use them as input to the common Postgres action.  This workflow (or at minimum the first 2 tasks) can then be replicated as needed in each of the tenants.</p>
<p>In a workflow, you can reference the name of a pack with the following context call:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">&lt;% ctx().st2.pack %&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>And you can combine that with a common name structure used across all tenants to access the key specific to the client/tenant pack that stores the credentials with a task like the following in a workflow:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">get_tenant_creds:
    action: st2.kv.get_object
    input:
      key: &lt;% 'POSTGRES___' + ctx().st2.pack %&gt;
    next:
      - when: &lt;% succeeded() %&gt;
        publish: 
            - postgres_creds: &lt;% result().result %&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>With this, you can then access the credentials in using the variable name set in the publish:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">&lt;% ctx().postgres_creds %&gt;
</code></pre> ]]></description>

        <title>Access different pack configs in common pack</title>
        <dc:creator><![CDATA[@sarthak1996 Sarthak Khandekar]]></dc:creator>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>I am trying to build a central (common) pack which contains some common actions eg.</p>
<ol>
<li>Get Data from Postgres</li>
<li>Get Data from some API call</li>
</ol>
<p>These are generic actions and these require <code>configs</code> for them to run. Eg. Postgres requires <code>host</code>, <code>port</code>, <code>username</code>, <code>password</code>, <code>db</code>. These <code>configs</code> are stored in different packs for different tenants. Each tenant has its own pack and each tenant will have its <code>configs</code>.</p>
<p>I want to reuse the common actions instead of adding these everytime to each tenant. I want one common pack which will hold the common actions and based on the <code>tenant</code> context or <code>pack (tenant)</code> name it will fetch the <code>configs</code> from that pack.</p>
<p>I have been struggling a lot to do this, unfortunately the only way I found was to duplicate these common actions across tenant packs. Is there any other way to do it?</p> ]]></description>

        <title>Is there one rule and sensor that applies to all actions?</title>
        <dc:creator><![CDATA[@Bryan Bryan Chen]]></dc:creator>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>Hello,</p>
<p>I’m searching for a general way to write rules and sensors.</p>
<p>For example, I have 2 timing action: <strong>action_a, action_b</strong>:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">**action_a brief definition:**
parameters:
  param_a_1:
    type: object
    required: true
  param_a_2:
    type: object
    required: true
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">**action_b brief definition:**
parameters:
  param_b_1:
    type: string
    required: true
  param_b_2:
    type: array
    required: true
  param_b_3:
    type: string
    required: true
</code></pre>
<p>I save the action and its param as key-value pair(change to yaml for human read) in stackstorm mongodb:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">deploy_time: "2021-08-19 23:00" 
action: pack1.action_a
params:
  param_a_1:
    key_1: value_1
  param_a_2:
    key_a_2: value_a_2
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">deploy_time: "2021-08-19 23:00"
action: pack2.action_b
params:
  param_b_1: "string_1"
  param_b_2:
    - object_1
    - object_2
  param_b_3: "string_3"
</code></pre>
<p>Then I write a sensor to read stackstorm Datastore.  Sensor will compare current system time and <code>deploy_time</code>, if current system time is later than <code>deploy_time</code>, sensor will generate a playload to rule.</p>
<p>As you can image, I have to write 3 very similar file( <code>sensor.py</code>; <code>sensor.yaml</code>; <code>rule.yaml</code> ) for each action. The only difference between them is <code>payload_schema</code> section of <code>sensor.yaml</code><br>
and <code>action</code> section of <code>rule.yaml</code>.<br>
<code>sensor.py</code> is almost exactly the same.</p>
<p>Is there a general way to write rules and sensors?</p> ]]></description>

<p>I would love to see this improved, but I have several other st2 improvements I’m working on, so I personally don’t have time to contribute this.</p>
<p>Would you have time, or would one of your colleagues have some time to work on this?</p>
<p>Here is some discussion about partitioning action runners / action runner affinity: <a href="https://github.com/StackStorm/st2/issues/3096" class="inline-onebox" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Feature req: Partitioning actions to execute on separate nodes · Issue #3096 · StackStorm/st2 · GitHub</a></p> ]]></description>

        <title>Specifying with node an action is run on in an HA set up?</title>
        <dc:creator><![CDATA[@jeffschulthies Jeff Schulthies]]></dc:creator>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>I wanted to utilize this <a href="https://docs.stackstorm.com/reference/ha.html#reference-ha-setup" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">reference</a> for HA set up but I had a more in depth question.</p>
<p>The HA set up will be in multiple DR sites. We need to make some optimizations to localize jobs to a certain site e.g. prevent jobs from being run on a us-east-node while interacting with hosts we have on us-west. Is this capability in StackStorm? or would be need some other solution like creating multiple st2 instances instead.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>

        <title>How to read the array action with array output?</title>
        <dc:creator><![CDATA[@bharat19th Bharat]]></dc:creator>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>Hi Folks,<br>
I have just written the workflow with action and I want the output input command with output result. How can I achieve that in this case would appreciate if someone help here</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">outer_task_shell_linux_esxi:
    action: jas.command_shell_execution
    input:
      commands: '&lt;% ctx(command)[0] %&gt;'
      host: '&lt;% item(host) %&gt;'
      username: '&lt;% item(user) %&gt;'
      password: '&lt;% item(pass) %&gt;'
    with: host,user,pass in &lt;% zip(ctx(hosts),ctx(username),ctx(password)) %&gt;
    next:
      - when: &lt;% succeeded() %&gt;
        publish:
          - task_status: &lt;% result() %&gt;
        do: print_task1
      - when: &lt;% failed() %&gt;
        publish:
          - task_status: &lt;% result() %&gt;

   print_task1:
    action: core.echo
    input:
      message: &lt;% ctx().task_status %&gt; | to_json_string
    next:
      - when: &lt;% succeeded() %&gt;
        publish:
          - task_status1: &lt;% result().stdout %&gt;
        do: print_task2

   print_task2:
    action: core.echo
    input:
      message: &lt;% ctx().task_status1 %&gt;

        <title>St2 apikey create - connection aborted</title>
        <dc:creator><![CDATA[@amanda11]]></dc:creator>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>I’ve recently used the latest released ansible playbooks to install 3.4.1. YOu also have to declare the variable st2web_package_name and set to value “st2web”. This got around the error above.</p>
<p>With the stackstorm ansible playbooks v3.1.0 it will be setup for st2 3.5.0, but can be used for 3.4.1 as long as you specify nodejs_major_version parameter to be 10 (so that nodejs 14 is not installed).</p> ]]></description>
