Hey folks, trying to filter automations to trigger...

03/13/2023, 8:52 PMHey folks, trying to filter automations to trigger only on a certain queue and not others, is there a way to do that via automations (specifically in the Custom trigger type?). Anyone have guidance there?

03/13/2023, 10:01 PMHey Andrew, for sure. Any reason not to just select it in the dropdown?
If you wanted to do it via the json in the custom one, it would be approximately:
Copy code
{
"match": {
"prefect.resource.id": "prefect.work-queue.70cb25fe-e33d-4f96-b1bc-74aa4e50b761"
},
"match_related": {},
"for_each": [
"prefect.resource.id"
],
"after": [
"prefect.work-queue.unhealthy"
],
"expect": [
"prefect.work-queue.healthy"
],
"posture": "Proactive",
"threshold": 0,
"within": 1800

03/15/2023, 4:43 PMWe ended up adding tags to everything on deploy and targeting those, but I don't know if that worked either - let me check and see if this json custom rule works

03/15/2023, 5:22 PMAh I see, you're saying to just alert on queue health instead of individual flow run state.

03/15/2023, 5:25 PMah and i see what you meant, flow run triggers but only flow runs on a specific work queue. yeah tags are probably your best bet right now, thought we could consider adding a work queue to the related resources of a flow run event and then you could match related on that.

03/15/2023, 5:36 PMYou could put a work queue on the match related field of a custom trigger, but it would never fire, because at this time we dont attach a work queue as a related resource on the flow run state change events. thats a super reasonable use case though, and thanks for surfacing it, so I’ll file an issue for our backlog on that now.

03/15/2023, 10:17 PMGood news, i was wrong. We actually are sending that information. A trigger with a configuration similar to the following will get the job done
Copy code
{
"match": {
"prefect.resource.id": "prefect.flow-run.*"
},
"match_related": {
"prefect.resource.id": [
"prefect.work-queue.prod"
],
"prefect.resource.role": "work-queue"
},
"after": [],
"expect": [
"prefect.flow-run.*"
],
"for_each": [
"prefect.resource.id"
],
"posture": "Reactive",
"threshold": 1,
"within": 10
}
