Use Ansible-cmdb to count host configuration information and display it on a Web page

First, the demand

Online machine more, before using Excel statistics once, with ansible batch execution script, and then according to the display information, hand input to Excel, efficiency can imagine. Other departments to view the host information, not the first time to provide, so, just think, can be displayed in a static page, placed in the Apache Htdoc directory. After finding a ansible-cmdb, it is good to solve the problem!

Second, ansible Configuration management database

Ansible-cmdb will collect the output and convert it to a static HTML overview page containing system configuration information, which supports multiple templates (HTML, txt_table, CSV, JSON output, markdown) and extended information through custom data collection, For each host display group, host variable, find the basis.

Third, step together

1. Installation

# RPM-IVH ansible-cmdb-1.12-2.noarch.rpm

2. Generate output file for host

#mkdir out#ansible-m Setup--tree out/all

Note that this/etc/ansible/hosts, in fact, you can customize, like mine, is differentiated by business, such as

[cust.megacorp]
db1.dev.megacorp.com   dtap=dev  comment="Old database server"
db2.dev.megacorp.com   dtap=dev  comment="New database server"
test.megacorp.com      dtap=test 
acc.megacorp.com       dtap=acc  comment="24/7 support"
megacorp.com           dtap=prod comment="Hosting by Foo" ext_id="SRV_10029"

[os.redhat]
megacorp.com
acc.megacorp.com
test.megacorp.com
db2.dev.megacorp.com

[os.debian]
db1.dev.megacorp.com

4, put the overview.html under Apache HTODC directory

# SCP./overview.html/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/zabbix/
