ansible-role-tty-sessions

A role for checking active TTY sessions on Linux hosts.

Requirements

You need jmespath installed.

Role Variables

tty_session_email_enabled: false

Email notifications are off by default. Change this to true to turn them on.

tty_session_email_subject: "Open TTY sessions"

This is the subject line for email reports.

tty_session_email_subtype: "html"

This sets the email type to html. You can also use plain. You can customize the email template as needed.

There are more email-related variables you can use. Check the last task in the playbook for details. If these are not set, they will be ignored, but you can include them as variables instead of changing the playbook directly.

Dependencies

For email functionality, this role needs the community.general.mail module.
