Semaphore UI support

[GD-Dal]

Hi.
Just discovered this.
It seems you have support for fetching data for Netbox, and integration towards Ansible AWX.
Any plans for support of Semaphore UI?

Thanks

And how would that work ? Is that a just sending the extravars to a rest api ? Don't know Semaphore UI (yet)

I am totally new to this really.
Don't know how it will work. How does it work against Ansible AWX?

Thanks for your time

The integration with AWX is a specific api.

I first need to authenticate (token are basic auth).
Then I need to do a couple of calls (inventory, template, ...) and finally call the launch api. It's not that straightforward to just add more targets.

A workaround for now, unless more requests come for this specific integration, would be to use the property "keepExtravars: true" in the form. Then you target a dummy local playbook. The extravars will be locally stored and NOT removed after the dummy playbook was run. This would allow you can to create a scheduled script that picks up the extravars and you can use them as you wish, for example send them in any way to any api. I understand it requires some custom scripting, but a least you have freedom to do it.

Additionally, I could implement a generic target with a javascript expression. like there is now "fn.fnRestBasic, or fn.fnRestAdvanced", where I send the extravars payload. You could then build your own rest api to catch this post. Note that AF allows to add your own javascript library which would allow you to create your own "fnc" function. This would become a duplicate issue. This has been asked before.
