Ansible: Visualization

This repo explains how to visualize your Ansible playbook.

Graphviz will draw an SVG picture for you by reading a .dot file ansible-playbook-grapher will create by examining your playbook.

If you want to build your own map manually, it's worth using the VSCode MarkMap plugin.

Usage

Run this command to visualize your playbook:

ansible-playbook-grapher -i your-inventory-file --include-role-tasks your-playbook.yml

Installation

Prerequisites

Follow Ansible Playbook Grapher for details.

Graphviz

sudo apt-get install graphviz # or yum install or brew install (MacOS)

ansible-playbook-grapher

pip install ansible-playbook-grapher

Acknowledgments

This repo was inspired by Ansible Playbook Grapher, and VSCode MarkMap.
