ARA Records Ansible (github/ansible-community/ara) and makes it easier to understand and troubleshoot.
It’s another recursive acronym.
What it does
Simple to install and get started, ara provides reporting by saving detailed and granular results of ansible and ansible-playbook commands wherever you run them:
- by hand or from a script
- from a laptop, a desktop, a container or a server
- for development, CI or production
- from a linux distribution or even on OS X (as long as you have python >= 3.5)
- from tools such as AWX or Tower, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Rundeck, Zuul, Molecule, ansible-pull, ansible-test or ansible-runner
Logs are a mess. Too many formats, no common timestamps, and too many amazing one-liner scripts to process them. Ugh! There's hope! Logstash and other tools are here to help. This talk will cover common logging practices (good and bad), some tools you might want to learn about later, as well as an overview of logstash and how you can use it to achieve victory in the battle against log abuse!
