How to generate Remediation role in Ansible/Bash for remote servers

[Niba-nazar]

Hi,

Using the oscap-ssh utility on my local server, I am able to obtain report.html and arf.xml files from some of my remote servers. In a similar manner, I'm attempting to obtain a remediation role for those distant servers using Ansible and Bash, with the profile named xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_standard and the `content/build/ssg-debian11-ds.xml' file.

The command that I attempted:

oscap-ssh  xccdf generate fix --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_standard --fix-type ansible content/build/ssg-debian11-ds.xml >  ${hostname}_${os_name}${os_version}-script-standard.yml"

Is this the best approach? Could someone please advise?
