Scheduled Ansible Task Execution within Preventive Automation Workflows

NetBrain currently does not provide a way to schedule Ansible tasks and incorporate their results into preventive automation workflows in the same manner that flash probes are scheduled and evaluated today. Customers who rely on Ansible for prechecks, such as collecting software version data, must manage that automation outside of NetBrain and cannot use it to drive conditional actions within the platform. This enhancement would allow Ansible tasks to be scheduled and integrated into preventive automation logic, so that task output, such as version compliance results, can trigger downstream actions like automated change scheduling for non-compliant devices. This would allow customers already standardized on Ansible for network validation to extend their existing automation investment into NetBrain's proactive monitoring and change workflows, reducing duplication of effort across tools.
