ARA: Ansible Run Analysis

image

ARA is an open source project that was created by Ansible users for Ansible users.

Its purpose is to provide a way to simply and easily understand what happens throughout playbook runs at any scale.

ARA records Ansible playbook runs and makes the recorded data available and intuitive for users and systems.

TL;DR

ARA records Ansible Playbook runs seamlessly to make them easier to visualize, understand and troubleshoot. It integrates with Ansible wherever you run it.

ARA provides four things:

  1. An Ansible callback plugin to record playbook runs into a local or remote database
  2. The ara_record and ara_read pair of Ansible modules to record and read persistent data with ARA
  3. A CLI client to query the database
  4. A dynamic, database-driven web interface that can also be generated and served from static files

What does the web interface look like ?

A video preview and explanation of the web interface is available on YouTube, featuring playbook runs from the OpenStack-Ansible project.

Otherwise, screenshots highlighting some of ARA's features are available in the frequently asked questions
