Hey everyone! I'm new to n8n and currently working as an Observability Engineer in a DevOps-heavy environment where we use tools like Grafana, Icinga, AWS Lambda, Azure Monitor, and ServiceNow CMDB. I'm exploring how n8n might fit into my workflow as I've heard it's a low-code automation tool. I'm particularly interested in hearing about how those of you in the monitoring and infrastructure space are using n8n. Here are some ideas I'm considering: handling Grafana alert webhooks, auto-remediation for idle EC2 instances and service restarts, managing certificate expiry alerts for Azure SAML and SSL, parsing and routing alerts to Slack, Teams, and ServiceNow, syncing CMDB with monitoring configurations like Icinga, and setting up tag compliance and cost optimization alerts. I'd love to get your use cases, tips, or any architectural examples if you've integrated it into your setup! Thanks a ton!

I've found n8n to be extremely versatile! I've used it to prototype alerting scenarios with SIGNL4. The enrichment flows are particularly handy; for instance, I can monitor an event, enrich it with info from a database or knowledge base, and then trigger an alert complete with all pertinent details.
Thanks for the insights! Definitely sounds useful.
