ansible-analyzer 0.1.2

CLI for Ansible role & playbook analysis & visualization

Ansible Analyzer

ansible-analyzer lets you visualize one or all playbooks from your project by building a graph representation of each playbook and role task included.

Requirements

You need to install the graphviz OS package in order to use this CLI:

• macOS - brew install graphviz
• Debian/Ubuntu - apt install graphviz
• Fedora - dnf install graphviz
• Arch Linux - pacman -Sy graphviz

Usage

To analyze a specific playbook, run:

ansible-analyzer playbook -r *roles_dir* -f *playbook_path* -o *output_path*

where

• -r is for the local directory containing roles
• -f is for the playbook file path
• -o (optional) is for the graph .png output path

To analyze all the playbooks in a given directory, run:

ansible-analyzer all -r *roles_dir* -d *playbooks_dir* -o *output_path*

where

• -r is for the local directory containing roles
• -d is for the local directory containing playbooks to be analyzed
• -o (optional) is for the graph .png output path

Finally, the CLI will save a .png file containing a graph representation of your project similar to the following:

To print role & task statistics, use -s. To disable graph output, use --no-out.
