ansible-job-report VS internet-pi

If you want an example of this in action, I made an example that does what you are describing.

If you want custom feedback of job status, I have employed this method before. It's a little cumbersome for everyday use, but for big or important jobs it's one way to get a custom report of task output and host failures. Or if you're feeling extra, you can do the full version.

For RHEL servers, we use reposync to mirror patches locally, and then install them with yum. We drive the process with a series of Ansible playbooks. We have some optional host vars or group vars we can declare to tune the patching behavior per-host, or to handle custom patching scenarios. Our patching process generates a report similar to this one.

I uploaded a stripped-down version of it here, if you need ideas. More details and examples here.

I made something similar a while back to report on patch activity; try this example for some ideas.

To generate a patch report, one option is to use a jinja template to compile an HTML-formatted email. For a working example to play with, see this github.

You can generate a "pretty" HTML report using a Jinja template. This github example may be a little overkill for your needs, but it shows how you can assemble a report with per-host facts and task status using Jinja templates.

As you mentioned, using Jinja to generate HTML for job reports. When renovating our script-based patching process for Linux, we had to choose between Redhat Satellite and rolling our own. We found that Satellite was overkill for our needs, and not worth the maintenance fuss and licensing costs. The biggest draw of Satellite for management was reporting... so I tortured Jinja into making a pretty CSS-styled report at the end of our patching playbook. Everyone is happy, and we have one less tool to maintain!

For our patch reporting, we run the yum check-update command and put the output in an HTML template that is emailed to groups. The report we assemble is similar to this.

I use this to monitor my internet connection, it's originally designed for a raspberry pi but it will run on any Linux machine thanks to docker https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi

For example, you’re probably receiving bad service from your provider. Run fast.com and post the results (run the “show more info” option). You may also consider running ongoing monitoring to compare over time. I use this app on a Raspberry Pi: https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi

i am having issue with when i am using my rpi4 (where pihole is installed) as my DNS server, it shows only my ISP's DNS on the clients side when i checked it with websites like https://www.top10vpn.com/tools/what-is-my-dns-server/. Where in my pihole settings, i set it to be using DNS's google, in the query log i can see the status shows that is answered by google#53 . but when i change my client's DNS server directly to google DNS, it shows both my ISP's DNS and Google DNS on the DNS checker website. i followed the link here to install pihole https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi , which i believe is installing pihole and grafana inside a docker. Above also attached some screenshots from my pihole GUI.

hi there i forgot to tell u that i might be installing the pihole inside a docker, i followed the steps here https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi . when i use "dig" command on my client terminal it shows the DNS ip address "127.0.0.1" is this what might be affecting my DNS config?
