Hi,

I use Ansible from 1 year ago, and I’m happy user. Now we want to monitoring our deploy, how many actions/changes/failures and report to our database/graphite/etc… I don’t know if possible any method into the playbook that we can get this. Can you help me?

Many thanks for your help.  
Cheers.

Hi Eloy,

Someone in IRC pointed me this link which uses callback plugins to log events to datadog monitoring services. Maybe this could help  
you or use it as a reference.

I use the logging callback plugin and awk/sed/perl the file for some stats, not very appealing to most. I would also check Tower, I believe they’ve built some nice reporting into it.

If Alex is around, a pull request to include the datadog plugin in the examples plugins directory would be interesting!

But yeah, definitely check Tower – it has some very nice graphical reports and history that are specifically tailored to ansible.
