Review block storage volumes on a schedule

Keep a current view of storage resources without remembering to run the inventory manually.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

List All Volumes

Tool to list all block storage volumes available on your account. use when you need to retrieve volumes and optionally filter by name and region.

Why this helps

Persistent storage can be overlooked when the team reviews droplets but not attached volumes.

  • Include volumes in recurring infrastructure reviews
  • Reduce manual inventory checks
  • Filter by a specific name or region when useful

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for volume inventory.
  • 3Tell Notis to list block storage volumes and summarize the results, applying a name or region filter if specified.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real run and review the volume report.

Questions about this workflow
