Ansible tools

Ansible-cmdb

Ansible-cmdb takes the output of Ansible's fact gathering and converts it into a static HTML overview page (and other things) containing system configuration information.

ansible -m setup --tree out/ all
ansible-cmdb out/ > overview.html

Ansible inventory grapher

ansible-inventory-grapher all | dot -Tpng > /home/static-server/my.png

Ansible Playbook Grapher

ansible-playbook-grapher --include-role-tasks example.yml -o /home/static-server/example

Ansible Lint

ansible-lint --nocolor > /home/static-server/ansible-lint.txt

Ansible Doctor

ansible-doctor is a simple annotation like documentation generator based on Jinja2 templates. hile ansible-doctor comes with a default template called readme, it is also possible to write your own templates.

The first step is to identify if the given folder is an Ansible role. This check is very simple, if the folder contains a sub-directory called tasks is MUST be an Ansible role! :)

After the successful check, ansible-doctor will try to read some static files into a dictionary:

• defaults/main.yml
• meta/main.yml

ansible-doctor -o /home/static-server/ roles/example_production
