I'm super new to Ansible so apologies in advance if this is a silly question. I'm trying to use it for some basic admin tasks on a handful of Linux VMs in Azure. I see there's an Azure collection with a bunch of azurerm modules that seem to support authentication via managed identity with 'auth_source: msi'. However it seems like that is just for managing Azure resources and can't be used to actually authenticate to a VM to do stuff inside the OS, is that correct? It seems like the best practice here without an orchestration component would be to pull SSH keys from a key vault? Is there a bet ..read more

I am trying to wrap my head around ansible and how to use it securely. I am currently following this guide for some github automation: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/asif-mahmud1/2020/03/15/cloning-private-git-repository-using-ansible?communityKey=ce54fe94-0145-4832-a0ef-4ea81d6062cc In that guide I create a github token, which I want to keep secure. To keep it secure I create an encrypted pass-phrase file: echo "ansible-password-phrase" | openssl aes-256-cbc -a -salt > ./keys/.ansible_vault.pass which I then use to encrypt the github token: ansible-va ..read more

All! I'm fairly new to Kafka and I'm hoping someone here can maybe provide assistance. I have an EDA controller tied with my AAP deployment. I have a rulebook listening to a Kafka topic. No matter what happens, EDA does not seem to actually process any messages sent to Kafka The EDA controller is connected to the topic and there is only a single partition. I manually added a few messages through the console-producer. https://preview.redd.it/xjcjgvz94qed1.png?width=2170&format=png&auto=webp&s=efac4b29dc101fb0979be190e930fe7b706628b1 The rulebook history feed just shows https://prev ..read more

Hey everybody, We need to recreate our templates, but are about to configure the external log aggregator. Unfortunately, the templates had already run a few times against production nodes and I would like to preserve the logs. Is there any way to push old logs to a log aggregator?
