Eventline

Eventline is an open source job scheduling platform developed by Exograd.

Eventline makes it easy to control all your automation in the same place. Small recurrent tasks, long processing jobs, integration scripts, everything runs in Eventline.

Runners

Eventline lets you execute jobs the way you want:

Runner	Description	Availability
local	Local execution.	Eventline
docker	Execution in a Docker container.	Eventline
kubernetes	Execution in a Kubernetes cluster.	Eventline Pro
ssh	Remote execution.	Coming soon

Connectors

Connectors include support for various identities, which are used to store credentials, and for events used to trigger jobs.

Eventline supports multiple connectors, and we intend to add a lot more.

Connector	Description	Availability
eventline	Eventline identities.	Eventline
generic	Various generic identities.	Eventline
time	Recurring events.	Eventline
dockerhub	DockerHub identities.	Eventline
postgresql	PostgreSQL identities.	Eventline
github	GitHub identities and events.	Eventline
slack	Slack identities.	Eventline Pro

Example

Eventline makes it trivial to write various kinds of jobs. For example:

---
name: "export-clients"
trigger:
  connector: "time"
  event: "tick"
  parameters:
    daily:
      hour: 23
identities:
  - "pg-export"
  - "aws-s3"
environment:
  PG_HOST: "pg.example.com"
  S3_URI: "https://s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/clients-data"
steps:
  - label: "export the database"
    code: "pg_dump -h $PG_HOST clients > clients.pgdump"
  - label: "upload data to s3"
    code: |
      key=$(date -u +%FT%TZ).pgdump
      aws s3 cp clients.pgdump $S3_URI/$key

Once defined, simply deploy it using the evcli command line program:

evcli deploy-job export-clients.yaml

Running Eventline

The simplest way to run Eventline is to use the Docker Compose setup, which pulls the official exograd/eventline Docker image.

Please refer to the documentation for a quick start guide.
