ansible-profile

An Ansible plugin for timing tasks.

Usage in Ansible 2.0

This plugin is included in Ansible 2.0, and can be enabled by adding this line to ansible.cfg

callback_whitelist = profile_tasks

Usage in Ansible 1.x

Make a directory called callback_plugins next to your playbook and put profile_tasks.py inside of it.

mkdir callback_plugins
cd callback_plugins
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jlafon/ansible-profile/master/callback_plugins/profile_tasks.py

Now, run your playbook just as you normally would!

ansible <args here>
<normal output here>
