```text
#!/bin/bash
# Example batch script

# Set environment
export PROVISIONING_ENV=production
export PROVISIONING_NONINTERACTIVE=true

# Validate first
if ! provisioning validate config --infra production; then
    echo "Configuration validation failed"
    exit 1
fi

## Integration with Other Tools

  only:
    - main
```

### Monitoring Integration

```text
# Health check script
#!/bin/bash

# Check infrastructure health
if provisioning health check --infra production --out json | jq -e '.healthy'; then
    echo "Infrastructure healthy"
    exit 0
else
    echo "Infrastructure unhealthy"
    # Send alert
    curl -X POST https://alerts.company.com/webhook 
        -d '{"message": "Infrastructure health check failed"}'

```

### Backup Automation

```text
# Backup script
#!/bin/bash

DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
BACKUP_DIR="/backups/provisioning/$DATE"

# Create backup directory
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"

# Export configurations
provisioning config export --format yaml > "$BACKUP_DIR/config.yaml"

# Backup infrastructure definitions
for infra in $(provisioning list infras --out json | jq -r '.[]'); do
    provisioning show settings --infra "$infra" --out yaml > "$BACKUP_DIR/$infra.yaml"
done

echo "Backup completed: $BACKUP_DIR"
```
