Papertrail StrawberryHand the Papertrail systems to a companion
One sentence in, and a companion has been through the Papertrail systems, put them where you can read them, and marked the ones it was not sure about.
Open the system. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Papertrail afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Papertrail exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 5 operations, 5 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can search log events, register system and list systems, and work across the systems, groups and log events.
The Papertrail API stops at Papertrail. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Can it search log events on its own?
All 5 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can search log events, register system and list systems, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Papertrail's documentation.
The systems are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the groups. A companion can hold all 5 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Papertrail admin becomes a queue you review.
- Search Log Events
- Register System
- List Systems
- List Groups
- Get System
It can search log events. Can it act on what it finds?
Through the screens you already use.
Papertrail exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Papertrail in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a system, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a system in Papertrail touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
What does the recurring systems pass look like?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Papertrail systems pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the infrastructure checks, the Papertrail systems sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
