With what should I use ansbile?
Look into AWX as an alternative to Tower. If you just want better reporting on runs, check out ARA or callback plugins.
- Show HN: ARA Records Ansible and makes it easier to understand and troubleshoot
-
Ansible-Semaphore vs Ansible AWX
Also worth considering is ARA for playbook reporting, and then whatever you want for orchestration (Jenkins, Azure Devops, Rundeck, etc).

Zabbix to monitor ansible
Why not use ara?
-
How would I get a list of IP addresses of failed hosts and details?
For general recording of playbook activity with a web dashboard, ARA works really well.
- Planning on writing a callback plugin - is there a unique variable to identify a particular play being run?
-
A way to log which user excuted a playbook
If you don’t want any UI / access control then you can also look at ARA - https://ara.recordsansible.org This works as a callback plugin to capture the job run data.

Benchmarking ansible-core 2.11 vs 2.14 and python 3.9 vs 3.11 along with ara's database backends
I'm not sure how to interpret running 100 debug messages (https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/blob/master/tests/integration/benchmark_tasks.yaml) into real life performance. Mitogen's Benchmark used either 100 times a "hostname" command on the target machine (https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/blob/master/tests/ansible/bench/loop-100-items.yml) or running the DebOps project (https://github.com/debops/debops-playbooks/blob/master/playbooks/common.yml) for some sorta real-world module usage.

Best options for monitoring Ansible deployment times
There has been discussions about a prometheus exporter for monitoring, metrics and eventually fancy graphs in grafana but work on this has not started yet: https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/issues/177

The Bullhorn #124 (Ansible Newsletter)
antsibull-docs 2.6.0 has been released with a fix for EXAMPLES parsing and error message improvements.
-
The Bullhorn #92 (Ansible Newsletter)
More than two years ago the Ansible Docs Working Group started discussing the use of semantic markup for Ansible plugin/module documentation. This resulted in a specification that has been implemented as proofs of concept both for ansible-doc and the validate-modules sanity test, as well as for antsibull-docs. From the docs perspective this will improve plugin, module, and now also role documentation a lot, and in particular separate markup from content. (Right now you have to use C(...) and I(...) for values and option names, which stand for 'code-style' and 'italics'.)

The Bullhorn #84 (Ansible Newsletter)
antsibull-core 2.0.0a1 has been released. This major release drops support for Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 and deprecates some compatability code (full changelog). It also includes a new feature needed by antsibull-build. antsibull-core houses shared code used by antsibull-build and antsibull-docs. If you use either of these tools, please help us test this new release. It can be installed with pip install -U antsibull-core==2.0.0a1. Note that you'll need the latest version of antsibull and antsibull-docs to use antsibull-core 2.0.0a1.

The Bullhorn #70 (Ansible Newsletter)
antsibull-docs 1.3.0 (changelog) has been released with several new features for the docs build! The most important changes are that now booleans are rendered as true and false instead of yes and no (https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/116), and that a proper parser is used for Ansible markup, which properly escapes for example backticks instead of simply inserting them into the RST files (https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs/issues/21).
-
The Bullhorn #54 (Ansible Newsletter)
If you are using the antsibull-docs or antsibull-lint collection-docs CLI command from the antsibull package, consider switching to using the new antsibull-docs 1.0.0 package instead! It is more stable and comes with less potential baggage to carry around.
