Viewing reports about your Ansible automation environment

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4

Monitor your automation environment with the reports feature

Red Hat Customer Content Services

Abstract

This guide shows how to use the reports feature on Insights for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to generate an overview report to monitor your automation environment.

Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Providing feedback on Red Hat documentation

We appreciate your feedback on our technical content and encourage you to tell us what you think. If you’d like to add comments, provide insights, correct a typo, or even ask a question, you can do so directly in the documentation.

Note

You must have a Red Hat account and be logged in to the customer portal.

To submit documentation feedback from the customer portal, do the following:

  1. Select the Multi-page HTML format.
  2. Click the Feedback button at the top-right of the document.
  3. Highlight the section of text where you want to provide feedback.
  4. Click the Add Feedback dialog next to your highlighted text.
  5. Enter your feedback in the text box on the right of the page and then click Submit.

We automatically create a tracking issue each time you submit feedback. Open the link that is displayed after you click Submit and start watching the issue or add more comments.

Chapter 1. Viewing your reports on Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

The reports feature on the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides users with a visual overview of their automation efforts across different teams using Ansible. Each report is designed to help users monitor the status of their automation environment, be it the frequency of playbook runs or the status of hosts affected by various job templates.

For example, you can use your reports to:

  • View the number of hosts affected by a job template
  • View the number changes made to hosts by a job template
  • View the frequency of a job template run, and the rate of job templates that succeed or fail to run

1.1. Reviewing your reports

To view reports about your Ansible automation environment, proceed with the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Log in to console.redhat.com and navigate to the Ansible Automation Platform.
  2. Click Reports on the side navigation panel.
  3. Select a report from the results to view it.

Each report presents data to monitor your Ansible automation environment. Use the filter toolbar on each report to adjust your graph view.

Note

We are constantly adding new reports to the system. If you have ideas for new reports that would be helpful for your team, please contact your account representative or log a feature enhancement for Insights for Ansible Automation Platform.
