ARA: Ansible Run Analysis
=========================
.. image:: doc/source/_static/ara-with-icon.png

ARA records Ansible playbook runs and makes the recorded data available and
intuitive for users and systems.

ARA doesn't run your playbooks for you: it integrates with Ansible as a
callback plugin wherever it is.

Whether you are running Ansible from your personal laptop or a server, all
you need to do is to `install ARA`_, `configure Ansible to use ARA`_ and
you're good to go.

.. _install ARA: https://ara.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
.. _configure Ansible to use ARA: http://ara.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html

Quickstart
==========

::

    # Install ARA
    pip install ara
    # Make Ansible use the ARA callback plugin regardless of python version
    export ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_PLUGINS="$(python -c 'import os,ara; print(os.path.dirname(ara.__file__))')/plugins/callbacks"
    # Run your playbook
    # ansible-playbook myplaybook.yml
    # Start the ARA standalone webserver
    ara-manage runserver
    # Browse http://127.0.0.1:9191

Refer to the documentation_ for more information.

ARA components
==============

ARA has four main components:

1. An `Ansible callback plugin`_ to record playbook runs into a local or remote database
2. The ara_record_ and ara_read_ pair of Ansible modules to record and read persistent data with ARA
3. A `CLI client`_ to query the database
4. A `dynamic, database-driven web interface`_ that can also be `generated and served from static files`_

What does the web interface look like ?
---------------------------------------

A video preview and explanation of the web interface is available on
YouTube_, featuring playbook runs from the OpenStack-Ansible_ project.

Contributions to ARA are definitely welcome and much appreciated !

ARA does not use GitHub for issues or pull requests.

ARA uses the OpenStack infrastructure for code hosting and review as well as
project and bug/issue tracking.

The `contributor documentation`_ will get you started quickly if you need help
contributing !

* Submitted code reviews are available on **Gerrit**:
