Hi everybody and welcome to StackStorm tutorials!

This tutorial in about StackStorm Exchange.

StackStorm Exchange is a GitHub organization of curated StackStorm packs, each in their own repository. The StackStorm client makes it easy to search for and install packs from StackStorm Exchange. All you have to do is use the pack subcommand of the st2 command.

Here I’m searching for the zabbix pack. I can also search for AWS, and Azure, and I can easily install packs with st2 pack install azure.

Now, when I list all of the packs, you can see that the Azure pack has been installed.

Pack installation runs as a StackStorm action. To view its status, check the Execution History tab in the web UI.

Let’s take a look at all of the actions in the Azure pack.

All of these actions are now available to any workflows I create.

You can also use the Exchange web interface at exchange.stackstorm.org.

Here I’m going to search for the Azure pack. This is the link to the pack’s GitHub repository. On GitHub you can find the documentation for the Azure pack by looking at the README.

These are the available actions in the Azure pack. You can also list all of the available actions by looking into the code itself.

Another way to install StackStorm packs is through the Extreme Workflow Composer. Go to the Packs tab, then go to the filter, type in part or all of what you are looking for.

Here I’m looking for the GitHub pack, so I select it on the left and click install. I can then go view the execution in the History tab.
