ansible-role-tty-sessions

A role to monitor open TTY sessions in Linux hosts.

Requirements

jmespath

Role Variables

tty_session_email_enabled: false

Default email reporting is disabled, set this to true to enable.

tty_session_email_subject: "Open TTY sessions"

Email subject when sending email reports.

tty_session_email_subtype: "html"

Setting the email mime type to html. Can also be set to plain. One can modify the template to their choosing to match this.

There are more variables available for the email section. Refer to the last task in the playbook for this. If not existent, these will be omitted, but this gives you the option to include these values in variables, rather than having to edit the playbook.

Dependencies

For email, this role depends on the community.general.mail module.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- name: TTY session monitoring
  hosts: all
  become: true

  vars:
    tty_session_email_enabled: true
    tty_session_email_subject: "Open TTY sessions"
    tty_session_email_sender: "[email protected]"
    tty_session_email_recipient: "[email protected]"
    tty_session_smtp_server: "smtp.yourdomain.com"
