Persistent=true
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
```
## Example Output
```
=========================================
Backup Summary
=========================================
Host: webserver01
Environment: production
Completed: 2025-01-11T02:30:00Z
=== Backup Details ===
Type: full
Files created: 12
Total size: 2.5G
Location: /var/backups
=== Retention ===
Retention period: 30 days
Old backups cleaned: 5
=== Verification ===
Integrity check: Passed
Manifest: /var/backups/backup_manifest_2025-01-11_0230.txt
=========================================
```
## Troubleshooting
### Insufficient disk space
Check available space:
```bash
ansible all -m shell -a "df -h /var/backups"
```
Clean old backups:
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags cleanup
```
### Database backup fails
Check database connectivity:
```bash
# MySQL
ansible all -m shell -a "mysqldump --version"
# PostgreSQL
ansible all -m shell -a "sudo -u postgres pg_dumpall --version"
```
### Backup integrity check fails
Manually verify:
```bash
ansible all -m shell -a "gzip -t /var/backups/config/*.gz"
```
## Restore from Backup
See [Disaster Recovery Playbook](disaster_recovery.md) for restoration procedures.
```bash
# Quick restore example
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit failed_host \
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-11"
```
## Best Practices
1. **Test restores regularly** - Backups are useless if they can't be restored
2. **Monitor backup sizes** - Watch for unexpected growth
3. **Use remote storage** - Don't keep backups only on the same host
4. **Verify backups** - Always enable verification
5. **Document retention** - Follow compliance requirements
6. **Encrypt sensitive backups** - Use encryption for databases
7. **Schedule appropriately** - Run during low-activity periods
## Quick Reference Commands
```bash
# Full backup with verification
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml \
--extra-vars "backup_type=full"
# Configuration only
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags config
# Databases only
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags databases
# Cleanup old backups (30+ days)
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags cleanup
# Custom retention (90 days)
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags cleanup \
--extra-vars "backup_retention_days=90"
# Dry-run
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --check
# Specific host only
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --limit hostname
# Production environment
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production playbooks/backup.yml
```

```bash
# Wait 60 seconds for SSH to restart
# Retry connection
ansible failed_host -m ping
```
### Service won't start after recovery
```bash
# Check service status
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "systemctl status service_name"
# Check service logs
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "journalctl -u service_name -n 50"
```
### SELinux blocking services
```bash
# Relabel SELinux contexts
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "restorecon -R /etc /var"
```
## Post-Recovery Checklist
- [ ] Verify all services running
- [ ] Test application functionality
- [ ] Check disk space
- [ ] Review system logs
- [ ] Verify backups are current
- [ ] Update documentation
- [ ] Notify stakeholders
- [ ] Conduct lessons learned review
## Best Practices
1. **Test recovery procedures regularly** - Monthly DR drills
2. **Document recovery time objectives (RTO)** - Know your targets
3. **Keep backups off-site** - Don't rely on local backups only
4. **Verify backup integrity** - Test restores before disasters
5. **Maintain runbooks** - Document specific recovery procedures
6. **Practice on staging** - Test recovery in non-production first
7. **Have communication plan** - Know who to notify

EOF
done
```
## Troubleshooting
### Check Playbook Execution
```bash
# Dry-run (check mode)
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --check
# Verbose output
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml -v
# Very verbose (debug)
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml -vvv
# Single host debugging
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml \
--limit problematic-host -vvv
```
### Common Issues
**Missing packages**
```bash
# Install packages manually first
ansible all -m package -a "name=lshw,dmidecode,pciutils state=present" --become
# Or run with install tag only
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --tags install
```
**Permission errors**
```bash
# Ensure become is enabled
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --become
# Check sudo access
ansible all -m ping --become
```
**Statistics not saved**
```bash
# Check if directory exists
ls -la ./stats/machines/
# Check disk space
df -h .
# Create directory manually
mkdir -p ./stats/machines
# Specify alternative directory
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml \
-e "system_info_stats_base_dir=/tmp/stats"
```
**Slow execution**
```bash
# Skip slow operations
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml \
--skip-tags install,network
# Disable GPU gathering
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml \
-e "system_info_gather_gpu=false"
# Increase parallelism
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml -f 20
```
### Validation
```bash
# Verify JSON files are valid
for f in ./stats/machines/*/system_info.json; do
echo "Checking $f"
jq empty "$f" && echo "✓ OK" || echo "✗ INVALID"
done
# Check for missing files
for host in $(ansible all --list-hosts | tail -n +2); do
if [ ! -f "./stats/machines/${host}/system_info.json" ]; then
echo "Missing: $host"
fi
done
# Verify data completeness
jq -r 'if .cpu == null then "Missing CPU data" else "OK" end' \
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
```
## Performance Optimization
### Parallel Execution
```bash
# Default (5 hosts at a time)
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml
# Increase parallelism
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml -f 20
# Serial execution (one at a time)
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml -f 1
```
### Skip Slow Tasks
```bash
# Skip package installation
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --skip-tags install
# Skip network gathering
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --skip-tags network
# Minimal gathering
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml \
-e "system_info_gather_gpu=false" \
-e "system_info_gather_network=false" \
-e "system_info_detect_hypervisor=false"
```
### Fact Caching
Enable in ansible.cfg:
```ini
[defaults]
fact_caching = jsonfile
fact_caching_connection = /tmp/ansible_facts
fact_caching_timeout = 3600
```
## Use Cases
### Infrastructure Audit
```bash
# Collect from all environments
for env in production staging development; do
ansible-playbook -i inventories/$env playbooks/gather_system_info.yml
done
# Generate comprehensive report
./scripts/generate_infrastructure_report.sh
```
### Capacity Planning
```bash
# Gather current utilization
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --tags validate,health-check
# Analyze resource usage
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn),\(.cpu.load_average.one_min),\(.memory.usage_percent),\(.disk.usage_percent)"' \
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json | column -t -s,
```
### Compliance Reporting
```bash
# Security compliance check
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --tags security
# Generate compliance report
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn),\(.security.selinux),\(.security.apparmor)"' \
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json > compliance_report.csv
```
### License Auditing
```bash
# Count CPU cores for licensing
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --tags cpu
# Total cores
jq -s 'map(.cpu.count.total_cores | tonumber) | add' \
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
```
## Quick Reference Commands
```bash
# Standard execution
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml
# Specific hosts
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --limit webservers
# Specific tags
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --tags cpu,memory

```ini
# /etc/systemd/system/ansible-maintenance.timer
[Unit]
Description=Ansible Maintenance
[Timer]
OnCalendar=daily
Persistent=true
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
```
## Best Practices
1. **Test in staging first** - Always run in staging before production
2. **Monitor during updates** - Watch for failures
3. **Check reboot requirements** - Plan reboots during maintenance windows
4. **Review logs** - Check maintenance logs for issues
5. **Use serial execution** for production - Update hosts gradually
6. **Schedule appropriately** - Run during low-traffic periods
## Quick Reference Commands
```bash
# Dry-run (no changes)
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --check
# Staging environment
ansible-playbook -i inventories/staging playbooks/maintenance.yml
# Production (one host at a time)
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production playbooks/maintenance.yml \
--extra-vars "maintenance_serial=1"
# Updates only, no cleanup
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags updates
# Full upgrade (non-security too)
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml \
--extra-vars "maintenance_security_only=false"
# Cleanup only
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags cleanup
# Check if reboot needed

# Get VM information
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh dominfo <vm_name>"
# Get VM IP address
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh domifaddr <vm_name>"
```
### Verify SSH Access
```bash
# Test SSH connectivity
ssh ansible@<VM_IP>
# Test with ProxyJump through hypervisor
ssh -J grokbox ansible@<VM_IP>
```
### Verify LVM Configuration
```bash
# SSH to VM and check LVM
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo vgs && sudo lvs && sudo pvs"
# Check fstab entries
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "cat /etc/fstab"
# Check disk layout
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "lsblk"
# Check mounted filesystems
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "df -h"
```
### Verify Security Hardening
```bash
# Check SSH configuration
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo sshd -T | grep -i gssapi"
# Check firewall (Debian/Ubuntu)
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo ufw status verbose"
# Check firewall (RHEL/AlmaLinux)
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo firewall-cmd --list-all"
# Check SELinux status (RHEL family)
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo getenforce"
# Check AppArmor status (Debian family)
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo aa-status"
# Check auditd
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo systemctl status auditd"
# Check automatic updates (Debian/Ubuntu)
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo systemctl status unattended-upgrades"
# Check automatic updates (RHEL/AlmaLinux)
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo systemctl status dnf-automatic.timer"
```
## Troubleshooting
### Check Cloud-Init Status
```bash
# Wait for cloud-init to complete
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "cloud-init status --wait"
# View cloud-init logs
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "tail -100 /var/log/cloud-init-output.log"
# Check cloud-init errors
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "cloud-init analyze show"
```
### VM Won't Start
```bash
# Check VM status
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh list --all"
# View VM console logs
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh console <vm_name>"
# Check libvirt logs
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "tail -50 /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<vm_name>.log"
```
### LVM Issues
```bash
# Check LVM status
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo pvs && sudo vgs && sudo lvs"
# Check if second disk exists
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "lsblk"
# Manually trigger LVM setup (if post-deploy failed)
ansible-playbook site.yml -l grokbox -t deploy_linux_vm,lvm,post-deploy \
-e "deploy_linux_vm_name=<vm_name>"
```
### Network Connectivity Issues
```bash
# Check VM network interfaces
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "ip addr show"
# Check VM can reach internet
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "ping -c 3 8.8.8.8"
# Check DNS resolution
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "nslookup google.com"
# Check libvirt network
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh net-list --all"
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh net-dhcp-leases default"
```
### SSH Connection Refused
```bash
# Check if sshd is running
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo systemctl status sshd"
# Check firewall rules
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo ufw status" # Debian/Ubuntu
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo firewall-cmd --list-services" # RHEL
# Check SSH port listening
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo ss -tlnp | grep :22"
```
### Disk Space Issues
```bash
# Check hypervisor disk space
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "df -h /var/lib/libvirt/images"
# Check VM disk space
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "df -h"
# List large files
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo du -sh /* | sort -h"
```
## VM Management
### Start/Stop/Reboot VM
```bash
# Start VM
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh start <vm_name>"
# Shutdown VM gracefully
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh shutdown <vm_name>"
# Force stop VM
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh destroy <vm_name>"
# Reboot VM
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh reboot <vm_name>"
# Enable autostart
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh autostart <vm_name>"
```
### Delete VM
```bash
# Stop and delete VM (DESTRUCTIVE)
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh destroy <vm_name>"
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh undefine <vm_name> --remove-all-storage"
```
### VM Snapshots
```bash
# Create snapshot
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh snapshot-create-as <vm_name> snapshot1 'Before updates'"
# List snapshots
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh snapshot-list <vm_name>"
# Restore snapshot
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh snapshot-revert <vm_name> snapshot1"
# Delete snapshot
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh snapshot-delete <vm_name> snapshot1"
```
## Performance Optimization
### Parallel Deployment
```bash
# Deploy multiple VMs in parallel (default: 5 at a time)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm -f 5
# Serial deployment (one at a time)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm -f 1
```
### Skip Slow Operations
```bash
# Skip package installation (if already installed)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm --skip-tags install
# Skip image download (if already cached)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm --skip-tags download
```

# System Info Role Cheatsheet
Quick reference guide for the `system_info` role - comprehensive system information gathering.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Run complete information gathering
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info
# Run on specific hosts
ansible-playbook site.yml -l webservers -t system_info
# Run with validation only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,validate
```
## Common Execution Patterns
### Full Execution
```bash
# All hosts, all information
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info
# Single host
ansible-playbook site.yml -l hostname.example.com -t system_info
# Specific group
ansible-playbook site.yml -l production -t system_info
```
### Selective Information Gathering
```bash
# CPU information only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,cpu
# GPU information only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,gpu
# Memory and swap only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,memory
# Disk information only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,disk
# Network information only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,network
# Hypervisor detection only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,hypervisor
# System information only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,system
```
### Combined Tags
```bash
# CPU, Memory, and Disk
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,cpu,memory,disk
# Skip installation, gather only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --skip-tags install
# Validation and health check
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,validate,health-check
# Export statistics only (requires prior gathering)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,export
```
## Available Tags
| Tag | Description |
|-----|-------------|
| `system_info` | Main role tag (required) |
| `install` | Install required packages |
| `gather` | All information gathering |
| `system` | OS and system info |
| `cpu` | CPU details |
| `gpu` | GPU detection |
| `memory` | RAM and swap |

| `export` | Export to JSON |
| `statistics` | Statistics aggregation |
| `validate` | Validation checks |
| `health-check` | Health monitoring |
| `security` | Security-related info |
## Common Variables
### Directory Configuration
```yaml
# Custom statistics directory
system_info_stats_base_dir: /var/lib/ansible/stats
# Disable automatic directory creation
system_info_create_stats_dir: false
```
### Feature Toggles
```yaml
# Disable GPU gathering (for servers without GPU)
system_info_gather_gpu: false
# Disable hypervisor detection
system_info_detect_hypervisor: false
# Minimal gathering (CPU, Memory, Disk only)
system_info_gather_network: false
system_info_gather_gpu: false
system_info_detect_hypervisor: false
```
### Output Configuration
```yaml
# Increase JSON readability
system_info_json_indent: 4
# Include raw command outputs
system_info_include_raw_output: true
```
## Output Files
### Default Location
```
./stats/machines/<fqdn>/
├── system_info.json # Latest statistics
├── system_info_<epoch>.json # Timestamped backup
└── summary.txt # Human-readable summary
```
### View Statistics
```bash
# View JSON (pretty-printed)
jq . ./stats/machines/server01.example.com/system_info.json
# View summary
cat ./stats/machines/server01.example.com/summary.txt
# Extract specific information
jq '.cpu.model' ./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
jq '.memory.total_mb' ./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
jq '.hypervisor.is_hypervisor' ./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
# Count hypervisors
jq -r 'select(.hypervisor.is_hypervisor == true) | .host_info.fqdn' \
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json | wc -l
# Find all VMs
jq -r 'select(.hypervisor.is_virtual == true) | .host_info.fqdn' \
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
# Memory usage report
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn): \(.memory.usage_percent)%"' \
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
```
## Example Playbooks
### Basic Playbook
```yaml
---
- name: Gather system information
hosts: all
become: true
roles:
- system_info
```
### Advanced Playbook
```yaml
---
- name: Gather detailed system information
hosts: all
become: true
roles:
- role: system_info
vars:
system_info_stats_base_dir: /var/lib/ansible/inventory
system_info_json_indent: 4
system_info_gather_gpu: true
system_info_detect_hypervisor: true
```
### Targeted Playbook
```yaml
---
- name: Gather hypervisor information only
hosts: hypervisors
become: true
tasks:
- name: Include system_info role for hypervisor detection
include_role:
name: system_info
tasks_from: detect_hypervisor
tags: [hypervisor]
```
## Troubleshooting
### Check Role Execution
```bash
# Dry-run (check mode)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --check
# Verbose output
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -v
# Very verbose (debug)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -vvv
# Single host debugging
ansible-playbook site.yml -l problematic-host -t system_info -vvv
```
### Common Issues
**Missing packages**
```bash
# Install packages manually first
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,install
# Check what would be installed
ansible all -m package_facts
```
**Permission errors**
```bash
# Ensure become is enabled
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --become
# Check sudo access
ansible all -m ping --become
```
**Statistics not saved**
```bash
# Check if directory exists
ls -la ./stats/machines/
# Check disk space on control node
df -h .
# Verify write permissions
touch ./stats/machines/test && rm ./stats/machines/test
```
### Validation
```bash
# Run only validation tasks
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,validate
# Check specific host health
ansible-playbook site.yml -l server01 -t validate,health-check
# Verify JSON files
for f in ./stats/machines/*/system_info.json; do
echo "Checking $f"
jq empty "$f" && echo "OK" || echo "INVALID"
done
```
## Performance Optimization
### Parallel Execution
```bash
# Increase parallelism (default: 5)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -f 20
# Serial execution (one at a time)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -f 1
```
### Skip Slow Tasks
```bash
# Skip installation if packages are pre-installed
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --skip-tags install
# Skip network gathering (can be slow)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --skip-tags network
```
## Integration Examples
### Cron Job for Regular Collection
```bash
# Daily collection at 2 AM
0 2 * * * cd /opt/ansible && ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info >> /var/log/ansible/system_info.log 2>&1
```
### Generate HTML Report
```bash
# Convert JSON to HTML
for host in ./stats/machines/*; do
hostname=$(basename "$host")
jq -r 'to_entries | map("\(.key): \(.value)") | .[]' \
"$host/system_info.json" > "$host/report.txt"
done
```
### Compare Statistics
```bash
# Compare CPU across hosts
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn),\(.cpu.model),\(.cpu.count.vcpus)"' \
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json | column -t -s,
# Compare memory across hosts
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn),\(.memory.total_mb) MB,\(.memory.usage_percent)%"' \
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json | column -t -s,
```
## Security Checkpoints
- ✓ Role runs with `become: true` for hardware access
- ✓ No credentials or secrets are collected
- ✓ Statistics files contain infrastructure details - protect appropriately
- ✓ Sensitive data (serial numbers, UUIDs) included - review before sharing
- ✓ Files stored on control node only - not on managed hosts
## Quick Reference Commands
```bash
# Full scan
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info
# CPU + Memory only
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,cpu,memory
# Validate all hosts
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,validate
# Export only (no gathering)
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,export
# Single host, verbose
ansible-playbook site.yml -l hostname -t system_info -v
# View latest stats
cat ./stats/machines/$(hostname -f)/summary.txt
```
## Ansible Ad-Hoc Alternatives
```bash
# Quick CPU check
ansible all -m shell -a "lscpu | grep 'Model name'"
# Quick memory check
ansible all -m shell -a "free -h"
# Quick disk check
ansible all -m shell -a "df -h"
# Check virtualization
ansible all -m shell -a "systemd-detect-virt"
