Ansible Tower - Standard Output of jobs

I can view standard output of my jobs in Standard out pane, however where are these logs stored on server and how can I view them?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Solution

  • In ansible configuration file, /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg, you can find a line for log path.

    log_path = /var/log/ansible.log

    By default, it will be commented. Uncomment it and run your playbook. The logs will be updated in /var/log/ansible.log

    Tower job output log. 

    eg:
Retrieve Job Stdout  
<http://ansibletowerserver.com>/api/v2/jobs/{id}/stdout/

    See reference: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/towerapi/api_ref.html#/Jobs

    You can call it using uri module
