Suppose you are running a ansible playbook with multiple tasks and want to print execution time of each task, then do the below changes.
Lets see the below sample playbook execution . In this ouput we dont know how much it took for each task execution.
[root@ans_scripts]# ansible-playbook playbook_copyfile_multi.yml -i /etc/ansible/inventory.txt PLAY [copy files to test servers] *********************************************************************************************************************************************** TASK [Gathering Facts] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************** ok: [db_server2] ok: [db_server1] TASK [Ansible copy files to remote machine] ************************************************************************************************************************************* changed: [db_server1] => (item=test1.log) changed: [db_server2] => (item=test1.log) ok: [db_server1] => (item=test2.log) ok: [db_server2] => (item=test2.log) PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************** db_server1 : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0 db_server2 : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
For enabling the changes, we need to set the callback_whitelist = profile_tasks inside ansible.cfg file.
[root@ansible]# cat /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg |grep callback_whitelist callback_whitelist = profile_tasks
Now run the same playbook in ansible again.
[root@ans_scripts]# ansible-playbook playbook_copyfile_multi.yml -i /etc/ansible/inventory.txt PLAY [copy files to test servers] *********************************************************************************************************************************************** TASK [Gathering Facts] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************** Sunday 31 May 2020 08:27:31 +0300 (0:00:00.047) 0:00:00.047 ************ ok: [db_server1] ok: [db_server2] TASK [Ansible copy files to remote machine] ************************************************************************************************************************************* Sunday 31 May 2020 08:27:35 +0300 (0:00:04.027) 0:00:04.074 ************ ok: [db_server1] => (item=test1.log) ok: [db_server2] => (item=test1.log) ok: [db_server1] => (item=test2.log) ok: [db_server2] => (item=test2.log) PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************** db_server1 : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0 db_server2 : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0 Sunday 31 May 2020 08:27:38 +0300 (0:00:03.103) 0:00:07.178 ************ =============================================================================== Gathering Facts ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.03s Ansible copy files to remote machine ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.10s
