Ansible Automation Platform Launch, Monitor, and Cancel Job
with Red Hat · IT Operations Management
Launch a known job template, monitor the job, and cancel it on demand.
- Retrieve the job template to confirm it exists before attempting to launch a job from it.
- Launch a job from the confirmed template, optionally narrowing execution with a host limit pattern.
- Retrieve the job record and re-poll while it remains in a non-terminal state; end the workflow once it reaches a terminal status.
- Cancel the running job. The API accepts the cancellation request for jobs that are currently pending or running.
What you'll need to have ready
- token: OAuth2 bearer token for the Automation Platform API.
- templateId: The id of the job template to launch.
- limit: Optional host pattern to limit the inventory for this run.
- abort: When true, the running job is cancelled instead of being awaited.
