Trigger

Recurring schedule

Action

List Self-Hosted Runners

Tool to list available self-hosted runners. use when you need to retrieve all configured self-hosted runners for your organization.

Why this helps

Runner configuration can fade into the background until a build needs capacity or an owner needs to investigate.

  • Bring the configured runner list into a regular review.
  • Reduce ad hoc checks when investigating build capacity.
  • Send the inventory summary to a consistent report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from your usual channel.
  • 3Describe what runner details to include and how to summarize the inventory in one instruction.
  • 4Pick a Notis recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example by checking the returned runner inventory.

Questions about this workflow

Does this check runner health?

The listed CircleCI action retrieves available self-hosted runners. Ask Notis to summarize the returned information; do not assume it includes health signals that CircleCI does not return.

Can I use this to track changes over time?

Notis can summarize each scheduled result. A comparison requires prior inventory history to be supplied or available to the automation.
