ARA Records Ansible is a reporting tool that records ansible and ansible-playbook runs via an Ansible callback plugin, storing results in SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. It provides a CLI, a Django REST API, and a self-hosted web interface for understanding and troubleshooting playbook runs.

Use cases

• troubleshoot failed ansible playbook runs
• record ansible playbook results to a database
• aggregate ansible runs from CI/CD into one dashboard
• query ansible playbook history via a REST API
• self-hosted ansible reporting web UI
• track which hosts and tasks failed in ansible

When to choose

• you run Ansible frequently and need historical visibility into playbook results
• you want to aggregate playbook runs from multiple tools like AWX, Molecule, or CI systems
• you prefer a local-first tool that works with just SQLite and no server

When to avoid

• you don't use Ansible or another configuration management tool
• you need general-purpose infrastructure monitoring rather than Ansible-specific reporting
• you can't install Python packages into the same interpreter as Ansible
