XMPP
E-mails are slow, unreliable, and often people do not react to them immediately. There are cases where you want to send a real-time message to one of your users. Many organizations rely on XMPP/Jabber for their internal chat system and the great thing is that Ansible is able to directly send messages to XMPP/Jabber users and conference rooms.
Let's tweak the previous example to send uptime information to a user in the file uptime_and_xmpp_user.yaml:
- hosts: localhost tasks: - name: Read the machine uptime command: 'uptime -p' register: uptime - name: Send the uptime to user jabber: user: ansible@fale.io password: PASSWORD to: me@fale.io msg: 'Local system uptime is {{ uptime.stdout }}.' ...Get Learning Ansible 2 - Second Edition now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
