Configuration Management»

We’re excited to introduce the Configuration Management View, a new feature designed to enhance visibility, control, and monitoring of Ansible tasks across your stacks and runs.

This feature replaces or supplements the existing Resources View for Ansible stacks, offering a more focused way to monitor the last status of each item in your Ansible inventory. Below is an overview of the updates and functionality:

Where You’ll Find It»

Stack View»

The Configuration Management View is available in the Stack View, replacing the Resources View for Ansible stacks.

Info

Since the new changes replace Resources View you will not be able to see Resources View in Ansible stacks by default. If you'd like to see it (e.g. because you have some historical resources you want to investigate there), you can toggle between the Configuration Management View and the previous Resources View using the “Enable configuration management view” toggle.

Resources View»

The Configuration Management View is also added as a separate tab in the Resources View.

Run View»

The Tasks Tab in the Run View provides detailed visibility into Ansible task execution during a run.

Key Features»

Task Monitoring»

  • View the last status of every item in your Ansible inventory, showing the outcome of the most recent run.
  • Navigate seamlessly through tasks to analyze their status, logs, and execution details.

Enhanced Run List View»

  • The updated run list now includes Ansible statuses, providing immediate insights without diving into individual runs.

Detailed Logs in Task Details»

Access detailed logs for task execution in the task details tab to diagnose and debug issues efficiently.

Why Use the Configuration Management View?»

  • Increase Visibility: Unified workflows for all tools, including Terraform, OpenTofu, and Ansible.
  • Encourage Automation: Seamlessly integrate infrastructure control and configuration management with stack dependencies.
  • Improve Audit Capabilities: Collect, analyze, and filter data from execution logs.
  • Understand Tasks Intuitively: Visualize and filter tasks with ease.
