Programmatically know how a Runbook was called

Octopus Server

I have a runbook that I need to be able to know in my powershell script how it was called. Specifically if it was called from a Scheduled Trigger or from any other way.

Is there a way to know if a Runbook was called from a Scheduled Trigger?

Hi @OctopusSchaff!

Thanks for reaching out, and for the great question. The most reliable way to determine this would be to query the Events endpoint (/api/events?eventCategories=RunbookRunQueue) and then inspect the Username/Useragent fields in the JSON. If the runbook was queued by a scheduled trigger, then the username/useragent will be System, if it was triggered by a user action (web/api/octo cli), then it will list the user who triggered it.

I hope this helps, and please let me know if you need any further information.

Best,
