Parallel Worker Architecture

Dynamic Worker Calculation

Worker count is automatically calculated based on available CPU resources

Workers = CPU Cores × 2.5

Worker Capabilities

Each worker handles one remote WinRM automation at a time

Dedicated per-task execution ensures no cross-contamination between jobs running simultaneously.

Manages complete execution lifecycle

From job pickup to completion, each worker manages the full pipeline including retries and cleanup.

Handles script execution and parameter parsing

Parses and injects parameters at runtime, supporting both API-supplied and stored credential values.

Handles system reboots

Seamlessly resumes execution after a reboot, continuing the runbook from exactly where it left off.

Provides real-time session monitoring

Stream live output directly from the remote session, with per-line timestamps and status indicators.

Comprehensive logging of all activities

Every action, output line, and state change is persisted to the log store with full searchability.

Advanced error detection and handling

Detects exit codes, stderr output, and WinRM transport errors, with configurable retry policies.

Automatic notification on job failure

Instantly alerts the configured recipients via email or webhook when any job enters a failed state.

Automation Execution Types

Single Scripts

Execute individual PowerShell, or Python scripts via WinRM

  • PowerShell scripts (.ps1)
  • Python scripts (.py)
  • API parameter passing support

Hover for more

Run any script on any connected machine instantly. Pass parameters from the API, the UI, or the Job Planer — with full output streaming and log capture.

Runbooks

Chain multiple scripts together to create complex automated workflows

  • Sequential script execution
  • Error handling and restart
  • Variable passing between steps
  • API parameter passing support
  • Visual workflow designer

Hover for more

Design multi-step workflows visually. Variables flow between steps, reboots are handled automatically, and any failure triggers configurable recovery logic.

Software Deployments

Automate installation, updates, and configuration of applications

  • EXE installations
  • MSI package deployment
  • MSIX package deployment
  • WinGet Windows Package Manager
  • Multi-App deployment

Hover for more

Deploy software at scale across your entire fleet. Supports silent installs, custom arguments, and WinGet for modern package management — all tracked per machine.

Comprehensive Job Tracking

Unique Job Identification

Every automation job receives a unique identifier for complete traceability

Unique Job Identification

Job ID: 31937214010226

Timestamp-based IDs for instant chronological sorting and audit trail compliance.

Real-time Monitoring

Monitor job execution in real-time with detailed status updates and progress tracking

Real-time Monitoring

Live output streaming from every remote session with per-line timestamps, state transitions, and progress indicators.

Error Detection & Notification

Advanced error detection with immediate notifications and detailed error reporting

Error Detection & Notification

Catches exit codes, stderr, and transport failures. Fires instant alerts via email or webhook so no failure goes unnoticed.

Logging & Troubleshooting

Comprehensive logs for each job execution, searchable by Job ID for easy troubleshooting

Logging & Troubleshooting

Full-text search across all logs. Filter by Job ID, machine, time range, or status. Configurable retention from 1,000 to 100,000 entries.
