Log playbook execution history if Ansible run any command in the remote host

Hello everyone,

I’m sorry if this has already been answered/solved, I couldn’t find it.

I would like to log the Ansible-Playbook execution history if the playbook executes any command in the remote host by ansible.builtin.command module or shell module. This is the requirement from the security auditor.

For example:

ansible.builtin.command:
cmd: “/tmp/test.sh”

The above task executes the BASH script in the remote host. Does AWX have a feature that can record this action?

I am very new to Ansible, any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Hello itnewbie,

I am assuming you are in some sort of enterprise environment, given that a security auditor is interested in your execution logs. Is it possible to setup an external log aggregator like splunk to your awx instance?

Thanks,

Yes, we have Splunk in production.
