Start opentelemetry spans on host start instead of task start (#11434)
* Start opentelemetry spans on host start instead of task start

v2_playbook_on_task_start does not have the host information, so spans
would always start at the same time for every host in that task, even if
they started at different times, like when hosts > forks with strategy
host_pinned. This also hides the duration of the task for that host.

This change uses the newer v2_runner_on_start callback and adds the acutal
host start time to the span. The change is backwards compatible with ansible
versions that do not have v2_runner_on_start and makes no assumptions around
the ordering of v2_runner_on_start and v2_playbook_on_task_start.

* Add changelog fragment

* Remove redundant callback hooks

v2_runner_on_starts gets called by ansible right after the strategy has called on_task_start or on_handler_start. So there is no need to keep this code as the minimum ansible-core version is guaranteed to have this function. on_cleanup (removed around ansible-core 2.0) and on_no_hosts (removed around ansible-core 2.5) never get called.

* Fix unreachable hosts causing exceptions

If finish_task is never called for a host the result object stays None, which caused an exception in update_span_data. This was the case for unreachable hosts, as the callback plugin did not implement v2_runner_on_unreachable.

* Fix import order in test_opentelemetry

Community General Collection

Documentation Build Status EOL CI Nox CI Codecov REUSE status

This repository contains the community.general Ansible Collection. The collection is a part of the Ansible package and includes many modules and plugins supported by Ansible community which are not part of more specialized community collections.

You can find documentation for this collection on the Ansible docs site.

Please note that this collection does not support Windows targets. Only connection plugins included in this collection might support Windows targets, and will explicitly mention that in their documentation if they do so.

Code of Conduct

We follow Ansible Code of Conduct in all our interactions within this project.

If you encounter abusive behavior violating the Ansible Code of Conduct, please refer to the policy violations section of the Code of Conduct for information on how to raise a complaint.

Communication

  • Join the Ansible forum:

    • Get Help: get help or help others. This is for questions about modules or plugins in the collection. Please add appropriate tags if you start new discussions.
    • Tag community-general: discuss the collection itself, instead of specific modules or plugins.
    • Social Spaces: gather and interact with fellow enthusiasts.
    • News & Announcements: track project-wide announcements including social events.
  • The Ansible Bullhorn newsletter: used to announce releases and important changes.

For more information about communication, see the Ansible communication guide.

Tested with Ansible

Tested with the current ansible-core 2.18, ansible-core 2.19, ansible-core 2.20, ansible-core 2.21 releases and the current development version of ansible-core. Ansible-core versions before 2.18.0 are not supported. This includes all ansible-base 2.10 and Ansible 2.9 releases.

External requirements

Some modules and plugins require external libraries. Please check the requirements for each plugin or module you use in the documentation to find out which requirements are needed.

Included content

Please check the included content on the Ansible Galaxy page for this collection or the documentation on the Ansible docs site.

Using this collection

This collection is shipped with the Ansible package. So if you have it installed, no more action is required.

If you have a minimal installation (only Ansible Core installed) or you want to use the latest version of the collection along with the whole Ansible package, you need to install the collection from Ansible Galaxy manually with the ansible-galaxy command-line tool:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml using the format:

collections:
- name: community.general

Note that if you install the collection manually, it will not be upgraded automatically when you upgrade the Ansible package. To upgrade the collection to the latest available version, run the following command:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general --upgrade

You can also install a specific version of the collection, for example, if you need to downgrade when something is broken in the latest version (please report an issue in this repository). Use the following syntax where X.Y.Z can be any available version:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general:==X.Y.Z

See Ansible Using collections for more details.
