Document system-wide changes made by Ansible

Open Wenzel opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

As raised in https://github.com/IntelLabs/kAFL/pull/80#discussion_r910831103, we need to document the system-wide changes made by Ansible, so users can revert their system back into their original state if desired.

Since Ansible is a configuration management system, maybe it can output a summary of the system modifications at the end of the run ?

We could use the dry-run/check mode to generate a useful overview up front. It currently fails as we use variables/outputs from prior jobs that aren't executed properly this way.

But the normal logging is probably just the standard output with different verbosity options. Either too high-level or too ansible-specific. There is a --diff option but I expected to be similar cryptic.

This looks more accessible but might again just give the titles of jobs. https://github.com/haidaraM/ansible-playbook-grapher

Maybe good enough to give an idea of whats gonna happen, plus logs.
