# Ansible: HealthCheck with Cisco WebEx BoT Integration #<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a situation wherein you need periodic output of a\ncommand ( running on your servers or network equipment), what do you do\npresently, login to the device and get it periodically or as and when needed,\nor run a script and check the outputs, what if the same output was delivered to\nyou on your enterprise messaging platform. For this example, I will be using\nCisco WebEx Teams and Ansible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high-level architecture is below and quite self-explanatory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a ChatBot?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a software that conducts a conversation via over texts\nlike a human being, it simulates a human interaction. For more information\nabout WebEx Team ChatBot: –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/developer.webex.com\/docs\/bots<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am also\ntraining the chatbot to answer Level 1 Network Queries, using Dialogflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am using\nParamiko to connect to the devices and Cisco_Spark Module of Ansible to send\nthe outputs to a Cisco WebEx Chat Room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All playbooks\nhave been uploaded below: –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In future use cases, I would ask ChatBot for ad-hoc reports\nand it will trigger relevant jobs at the backend and deliver the results to the\nroom. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
