DigitalOcean Trigger

DigitalOcean Trigger

Certified

Fire an execution when a new DigitalOcean droplet appears

Polls the account's droplet list at each interval and fires once per newly-appeared droplet id. The first evaluation only establishes the baseline of existing droplet ids and does not fire. Only one new droplet is reported per poll; if several droplets appear between polls, the rest are reported on the following polls.

This trigger is at-least-once: a droplet id missing from a single poll (a transient gap from DigitalOcean's eventual consistency, or a short page) is tolerated for up to 3 consecutive polls before it is dropped from the watermark, so it does not re-fire once the listing catches up. The watermark is stored under a Kestra namespace KV key prefixed digitalocean_droplet_trigger_; do not delete it manually, as doing so re-establishes the baseline and skips whatever is already on the account at that point.

Properties

DigitalOcean API token

Personal access token used to authenticate against the DigitalOcean API v2, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Create one (prefixed dop_v1_) in the DigitalOcean control panel under API > Tokens, and store it as a Kestra secret.

Defaultfalse

Specifies whether a trigger is allowed to start a new execution even if a previous run is still in progress.

Defaulthttps://api.digitalocean.com

DigitalOcean API base URL

Base endpoint for all DigitalOcean API calls. Defaults to https://api.digitalocean.com.

DefaultPT5M
Formatduration

How often to check for new droplets

ISO-8601 duration. Defaults to PT5M.

HTTP client options

Optional HTTP configuration (timeouts, proxy, SSL) applied to every DigitalOcean API call.

Definitions
allowFailedbooleanstring
Defaultfalse

If true, allow a failed response code (response code >= 400)

allowedResponseCodesarray
SubTypeinteger

List of response code allowed for this request

auth

The authentication to use.

type*Requiredobject
passwordstring

The password for HTTP basic authentication.

usernamestring

The username for HTTP basic authentication.

type*Requiredobject
tokenstring

The token for bearer token authentication.

type*Requiredobject
passwordstring

The password for HTTP Digest authentication.

usernamestring

The username for HTTP Digest authentication.

defaultCharsetstring
DefaultUTF-8

The default charset for the request.

enabledTcpExtendedKeepAlivebooleanstring
Defaulttrue

Whether to enable TCP Keep-Alive extended socket options (TCP_KEEPIDLE, TCP_KEEPINTERVAL, TCP_KEEPCOUNT).

Set to false when running on Windows workers, as these extended socket options are not supported by the Windows JDK and will cause connection failures.

followRedirectsbooleanstring
Defaulttrue

Whether redirects should be followed automatically.

logsarray
SubTypestring
Possible Values
REQUEST_HEADERSREQUEST_BODYRESPONSE_HEADERSRESPONSE_BODY

The enabled log.

proxy

The proxy configuration.

addressstring

The address of the proxy server.

passwordstring

The password for proxy authentication.

portintegerstring

The port of the proxy server.

typestring
DefaultDIRECT
Possible Values
DIRECTHTTPSOCKS

The type of proxy to use.

usernamestring

The username for proxy authentication.

ssl

The SSL request options

insecureTrustAllCertificatesbooleanstring

Whether to disable checking of the remote SSL certificate.

Only applies if no trust store is configured. Note: This makes the SSL connection insecure and should only be used for testing. If you are using a self-signed certificate, set up a trust store instead.

timeout

The timeout configuration.

connectTimeoutstring

The time allowed to establish a connection to the server before failing.

readIdleTimeoutstring
DefaultPT5M

The time allowed for a read connection to remain idle before closing it.

SubTypestring
Possible Values
CREATEDSUBMITTEDRUNNINGPAUSEDRESTARTEDKILLINGSUCCESSWARNINGFAILEDKILLEDCANCELLEDQUEUEDRETRYINGRETRIEDSKIPPEDBREAKPOINTRESUBMITTED

List of execution states after which a trigger should be stopped (a.k.a. disabled).

Defaulttrue

A condition that determines whether the trigger should run.

A Pebble expression evaluated at trigger time. The trigger fires only when the expression evaluates to a truthy value (true, a non-empty string, a non-zero number). Use this to gate trigger execution on dynamic runtime values such as execution labels, flow variables, or environment conditions.
