Hello,
It’s a few months than I started to work with ansible and find it an awesome tool. rebuilding my home lab 
Thanks a lot for this great piece of code!
One of the role/playbook that I work on is for incident response, when you want to collect as much as information as possible without modifying too much the evidence (memory, logs…)
Depending on context, I can output to
- external media (hardly scalable)
- network share
- netcat on a server
- from where I launch ansible
problem of network share: requirements might be not available even if it is also the preferred way to get trusted binaries. netcat and ansible station would be ideal for output but I want to avoid having one playbook per output type, so I’m looking how to write it best.
the debug modules seems my best bet
- debug: var=cmd_output.stdout_lines
but for now, it can only display on ansible station (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/debug_module.html), not saving to a local file or else
is there any plan to give more options to this modules?
local file option or netcat/cryptcat with settings as vars would be great.
found some code here
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/blob/3405f69281ddd63fdede4c5f13f06365c769de74/utilities/logic/debug.py
but it seems more all over the place inside
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core
or is there any specific files?
Any advices on how to handle best this problem?
For network shares into ansible, I found those links
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/mount_module.html (but no network mount mentionned even if following seems to show it works modulo dependencies probably)
https://github.com/gc3-uzh-ch/ansible-playbooks/blob/master/roles/common/tasks/nfs-clients.yml
https://servercheck.in/blog/getting-file-samba-server-ansible-playbook
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29899186/how-do-you-provide-domain-credentials-to-ansibles-mount-module
seems good enough if I have dependencies.
Thanks a lot!
