If you’re using ansible-pull, you can configure it to run via cron as frequently as you like. The regular ansible and ansible-playbook are all manually run. If you require additional job scheduling capabilities I recommend you check out the AWX product, which is free for up to 10 nodes and may offer the capabilities you’re looking for.

I called playbooks from my script and integrate the script with nagios thresholds based on the final status of a call.

final status : ok=5 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0

nagios behave as status dashboard for my configuration management with notifcation.

thanks
