Ansible-Rulebook

• ansible-rulebook relies on a few components. These components all come together to allow you to respond to events and decide on the next course of action. The three main components to the rulebooks are as follows:

  • Source - The sources of our events come from source plugins. These plugins define where we are listening for events.

  • Condition - The conditional statements in the rulebook allow us to match criteria on which we want to have some kind of response to.

  • Action - Lastly, the action is our response once the condition has been met from the event source. This can be to trigger remediation, log a ticket for observation or generate other events which we would want to respond to.
