Description:

ramiansiblecmdb 1.32.1


About
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.
It supports multiple types of output (html, csv, sql, etc) and extending
information gathered by Ansible with custom data. For each host it also shows
the groups, host variables, custom variables and machine-local facts.
[HTML example](https://rawgit.com/fboender/ansible-cmdb/master/example/html_fancy.html) output.


Features
(Not all features are supported by all templates)


Multiple formats / templates:

in a separate file (for large number of hosts).
CSV (–template csv), the trustworthy and flexible comma-separated format.
JSON (–template json), a dump of all facts in JSON format.

Getting started
Links to the full documentation can be found below, but here’s a rough
indication of how Ansible-cmdb works to give you an idea:

Install Ansible-cmdb from [source, a release
package](https://github.com/fboender/ansible-cmdb/releases) or through pip: pip
install ansible-cmdb.


Fetch your host’s facts through ansible:

mkdirout ansible -m setup –tree out/ all




Generate the CMDB HTML with Ansible-cmdb:

$ ansible-cmdb out/ > overview.html




Open overview.html in your browser.

That’s it! Please do read the full documentation on usage, as there are some
caveats to how you can use the generated HTML.
