It’s a beautiful thing to have Dynatrace calling the REST API of AWX to make things happen, but Dynatrace does not do asynchronous calls. It cannot delay anything, so the /launch call returns from AWX in millis and gets marked a success in Dynatrace without regard to whether the job succeeded or not. I can make Dynatrace parse the job number from the /launch and call back to get the status of the job, but 30ms later, the job is always running (or pending or something). I cannot make Dynatrace wait the necessary 4+ seconds for a result. We’ve built wait loops in OpenShift and Powershell for this, but I cannot build a wait loop into Dynatrace since it’s all JavaScript (without the Promise/await options). I see no way to do this, except to build an external service that proxies the launch of the AWX job and blocks until finished. Am I missing something? It sure seems like a service option more than one person would value. I know I don’t relish maintaining a second web site to call AWX, but I know my customers would LOVE not having to do the whole parse and wait loop. ---

Isn’t this really a Dynatrace issue? Should you open a case with Dynatrace and ask for the feature you need it to have? Walter ---

This information is output from the Dynatrace issue I opened. Having a synchronous way of launching a job would be an AWX feature. We’ve built the loop and wait functions and they work, but they’re unpleasant. This feature would be loved. Kevin ---

Hello, You may want to look into eda-server, which you can view here: [https://github.com/ansible/eda-server](https://github.com/ansible/eda-server) This may be helpful. Please let us know if it does help! - AWX Team ---

Thank you. This is exactly what I was hoping to hear existed. I sure wish I had the skills to be sure I could run with it. It’s Docker-only and I’m stuck with Openshift-only. A skilled admin might be able to recompile everything, but I’m not that guy. :-/ Kevin ---

o/ Kevin, If you are looking to install eda-server on Openshift, there is an operator for doing so. If you are an AAP customer, you can use the built-in EDA operator; if not, there is an upstream here: - [https://github.com/ansible/eda-server-operator](https://github.com/ansible/eda-server-operator) There are docs in the top level README.md for installing the operator on your cluster and deploying EDA. Thanks, AWX Team
