Hello, I am interested in migrating over to Ansible. However, currently I use cfengine3, and one of the important features is the ability to detect changes to files and directories. The cfengine agent can monitor file checksums, detect changes to content or inodes/time, run diffs, update hashes, store hashes, alert admins, etc.
I started experimenting with Ansible, and I can probably create a playbook that would utilize, for instances, the shell module and file modules along with using handlers, but it seems to me to be to messy. I might as well create a local script or use Tripwire. Due to Ansible's agent-less characteristics will I have to rely on a script or an application like tripwire to run locally on the host, which then will be managed by Ansible? Or does Ansible have an all encompassing feature/module that can do what I have described above?
