Whiteboard

Hi, I am just wondering how this will work.

When I create a Ceilometer Alarm it needs a URL to post to when the alarm fires.

I assume that when the user creates the Workbook it will now have to return a URL (ec2signed URL?) that I can put in the Alarm definition that I POST to Ceilometer.

So the trigger section will look something like:

triggers:
  execute_on_webhook:
    type: webhook
    tasks: alarm_action
    parameters:
      arg2: "foo"

To implement this we need to:
1) look through the triggers section when setting up the workbook to see if there is a
    trigger of type "webhook" and generate a magic URL
2) store the URL and return it to the user (so they can tell Ceilometer about it)
3) add an endpoint for webhooks to receive it, get a trust token (the URL needs to be associated with the execution trust_id)
4) trigger the excutor

Would you say this is reasonable?
