Harness Pipelines Integration

Harness AI SRE provides native integration with Harness Pipelines, enabling automated remediation actions and deployment control directly from your incident response workflows.

Overview​

Harness Pipelines integration:

  • Requires no additional authentication setup
  • Uses your existing Harness permissions and access controls
  • Provides seamless access to pipeline operations

Permissions​

The Harness Pipelines integration leverages your existing Harness permissions model:

  • Access to pipelines is controlled by standard Harness user permissions
  • Pipeline operations respect existing role-based access controls (RBAC)
  • No additional API keys or credentials needed

Common Use Cases​

  1. Automated Remediation
    • Trigger rollback pipelines
    • Scale services up/down
    • Deploy hotfixes
  2. Deployment Control
    • Pause active deployments
    • Cancel problematic pipelines
    • Resume deployments after incident resolution

Example Configuration​

name: "Production Deployment Control"
conditions:
  severity: P1
  service: [service_name]
actions:
  trigger_pipeline:
    name: "Emergency Rollback"
    variables:
      service: [incident.service]
      environment: production

Best Practices​

  1. Pipeline Selection

    • Use dedicated remediation pipelines
    • Create incident-specific pipeline templates
    • Test pipelines in non-production environments

  2. Permission Management

    • Review pipeline access permissions regularly
    • Use service accounts for automated operations
    • Maintain audit logs of pipeline triggers

  3. Integration Usage

    • Document remediation workflows
    • Monitor pipeline execution success
    • Track effectiveness of automated responses
