I've done something like this to create an inventory tracking spreadsheet. Haven't had the chance yet to improve it or convert it into a proper playbook.
The setup module allows you to output facts to a tree structure with a JSON file for each host: $ ansible all -i inventory -u admin -m setup --tree hosts_facts facts/ ├── host_A ├── host_B ├── host_C ├── host_D └── host_Z I used a command-line utility called jq to parse the JSON. See here: http://xmodulo.com/how-to-parse-json-string-via-command-line-on-linux.html Then, just had to create a bash script to go through each file and extract the facts that I needed into a csv: $ cat facts/host_A | jq .ansible_facts.ansible_distribution On Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at 2:37:39 PM UTC-5, Jon Dison wrote: > > I'm wondering if anyone has any existing playbooks and/or scripts to go > through an environment and document the findings. > > Basically a way to transform the results from the setup module into a > useful CSV would be a good start, but also adding on other facets like > lists of patches to be applied, etc would be very useful. > > I've made use of the setup module to create a directory of hosts files > showing the results in YAML, but transforming that into a useful report > would take some work and I figure someone out there may have already done > it. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
