ARA Ansible for the team
summary
ARA Records Ansible is a lightweight web service plus a Python callback plugin that captures every playbook run, saving playbook files, host facts and task inputs/outputs to Postgres. Setup uses a Docker/Podman server and installing the client then setting callback_plugins and ARA_SERVER. The UI stores playbooks hosts and tasks with searchable filters and persistent HTTP links. Example run shows 8,000 tasks captured. No_log entries are not saved and no_log respected. Remote servers add latency per task.
