List all ansible-vault encrypted files?

Is there a way to list all files in a repo that are encrypted via ansible-vault?

If there is I haven’t figured it out yet. I’ve searched on google and everything just points to how to use view or edit.
I was hoping there was something like “ansible-vault status” that would list all files in the repo in one column and whether encrypted or not in a second column.
It would also help people automate figuring out which files are not encrypted that should be without having to read/view/edit/open every file. For example - all conf files should be encrypted. This would help confirm they are.

Just a thought, if there is no way of doing this currently, I’ll submit an issue for it.

Thank you,

Alicia

grep -rl ‘$ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1’

Look at the first line of an ansible vault encrypted file and play around a bit with the magic string

I also prefer to name my vault files ending in .vault.

Interesting thought. Is this just for your encrypted binary files, or
does this work with encrypted yml files, too?
