Add support for Ansible 2.4
- Adjust configuration loading to work with 2.4
- Metaclass usage to automatically commit to the database no longer
  worked, worked around it by removing the metaclass altogether.
  The metaclass is no longer used in 1.0 so this is only a master
  branch change.

ARA: Ansible Run Analysis

image

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

ARA doesn't run your playbooks for you: it integrates with Ansible as a callback plugin wherever it is.

Whether you are running Ansible from your personal laptop or a server, all you need to do is to install ARA, configure Ansible to use ARA and you're good to go.

Quickstart

# Install ARA
pip install ara
# Make Ansible use the ARA callback plugin regardless of python version
export ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_PLUGINS="$(python -c 'import os,ara; print(os.path.dirname(ara.__file__))')/plugins/callbacks"
# Run your playbook
# ansible-playbook myplaybook.yml
# Start the ARA standalone webserver
ara-manage runserver
# Browse http://127.0.0.1:9191

Refer to the documentation for more information.

ARA components

ARA has four main components:

  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
