callback: provide the starting dates for playbooks, plays and tasks
The started dates would previously default to "now" but it turns out
that the "now" for the server and the "now" for the ended date that
the callback provides later can be in different time zones.

ARA Records Ansible

ARA Records Ansible playbooks and makes them easier to understand and troubleshoot.

image

ARA saves playbook results to a local or remote database by using an Ansible callback plugin and provides an API to integrate this data in tools and interfaces.

This project provides the ARA API as well as the Ansible components.

For the web client interface, see ara-web.

Quickstart

Here's how you can get started from scratch with sane defaults:

# Create a python3 virtual environment and activate it so we don't conflict
# with system or distribution packages
python3 -m venv ~/.ara/virtualenv
source ~/.ara/virtualenv/bin/activate

# Install Ansible, ARA and it's API server dependencies
pip install ansible ara[server]

# Tell Ansible to use the ARA callback plugin
export ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_PLUGINS="$(python -m ara.setup.callback_plugins)"

# Run your playbook as usual
ansible-playbook playbook.yml

If nothing went wrong, your playbook data should have been saved in a local database at ~/.ara/server/ansible.sqlite.

You can browse this data through the API by executing ara-manage runserver and pointing your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

That's it !

Live demos

You can find live demos deployed by the built-in ara_api and ara_web Ansible roles at https://api.demo.recordsansible.org and https://web.demo.recordsansible.org.

Documentation

Documentation for installing, configuring, running and using ARA is available on readthedocs.io.
