About

The concept of this project is to perform Infrastructure-as-Code in Reverse (i.e. iacir - pronounced: aya sir).

ansible-fact consists of a collection of Ansible fact collectors to be able to generate structured data and harvest system configurations. The goal is to be able to automatically collect all aspects of a system's configuration through modules.

Available Modules

Module Name	Description	Test Playbook
scan_cron	Collects all cron data from a system and converts to structured data	scan_cron.yml
scan_processes	Collects currently running processes from a system and converts to structured data	scan_processes.yml
scan_sudoers	Collects all sudoers configurations and converts to structured data	scan_sudoers.yml
scan_user_group	Collects all local user and group data from /etc/shadow, /etc/gshadow, /etc/passwd, and /etc/group, and merges into structured data.	scan_user_group.yml

Module Documentation

All module documentation can be found in each respective module, as with any Ansible module.

• If a particular fact collector can apply to many different Operating Systems, please try and accommodate all Operating System implementations in an attempt to keep this project platform agnostic.
• Please include a test playbook in the test directory.
• Please place your modules in the library directory.
