What this workflow does

This workflow has 18 nodes and runs on Open Observe events. Along the way it connects Openobserve (community) and Novu (community).

How it runs

Trigger: On Open Observe events.

  1. Set Incident Enrichment Fields (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 13 fields: log_stream, service_field, default_service…
  2. Normalize Alert Data (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  3. Prepare Log Search Query (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  4. Execute Alert Window Query (Open Observe): work with search
  5. Find Closest Log Anchor (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  6. Check for Log Anchor (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
  7. Search Logs Near Anchor (Open Observe): search around
  8. Compile Incident Brief (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  9. Retrieve Notification Cooldown (Data table): get
  10. Assess Notification Needs (Code): runs custom JavaScript code

…plus 7 more steps. See the full node list below.

Services it uses

Openobserve (community)Novu (community)

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

We can't fully verify this one: it relies on 3 community packages, and n8n 3.0 turns unverified community packages off by default (N8N_UNVERIFIED_PACKAGES_ENABLED=false).

  • Check that @blackswampai/n8n-nodes-openobserve is verified or supports 3.0 (used in OpenObserve Alert Trigger).
  • Check that @blackswampai/n8n-nodes-openobserve is verified or supports 3.0 (used in Execute Alert Window Query, Search Logs Near Anchor).
  • Check that @blackswampai/n8n-nodes-novu is verified or supports 3.0 (used in Deliver Incident via Novu).
