Hello,

currently I run my playbooks per hand. But some task should be applied daily  
or hourly with cron.

To my current knowledge, I can use the callback plugins mail.py and  
log\_play.py to get feedback on my plays.

Has anyone gone futher? A Dashboard, some webpage? Something liks this?

Kind regards,

Philipp

you're not alone in this. There's also a db\_simple that SFromm has just submitted in:  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/2009](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/2009)

and I know michael has been discussing/working on ansible\_commander too.

Ansible commander was an aborted effort originally, but I've thought  
about it infintely and it's getting resurrected in the coming weeks.

I have a few short term 1.1 things that are holding it up, but  
sfromm's database logging ideas are part of that whole idea, as is a  
scheduler (why I've been thinking about that) for repeated tasks and  
such! 🙂

Some other things, like a faster fireball mode, are also all part of this plan.
