Review your droplet inventory when a metric shifts
Use a spreadsheet metric as a signal to take a fresh look at the servers in your DigitalOcean account.
Trigger
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Action
List All Droplets
Tool to list all droplets in your account. use when you need an overview of droplets, optionally filtered by tag. use after authentication.
Why this helps
A meaningful change in a planning metric can pass without prompting a check of the cloud resources it relates to.
- Use an aggregate change as a review cue
- Retrieve a current droplet overview
- Keep the result available in run reports
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide its name and prompt.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve the droplet inventory when the monitored aggregate changes and summarize the returned inventory in its run report.
- 4Pick Aggregate Metric Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real metric change and review the returned inventory.
