Newbie question…

Does anyone have an ansible playbook/role to check system health?

That I could re-use (i.e. not write from scratch).

We use Zabbix it kept trends and have alerts.

I think ansible is not made for this purpose

I completely agree, although I prefer Icinga to Zabbix.

There are many choices of monitoring system; Ansible is not one of them
