datadope.discovery.connections_discovery

This role automatically runs the corresponding connection facts module for the target host according to the operating system (Windows or Linux). The information gathered is provided as an ansible fact with key connections that will contain a list of connections and the following information per connection:

  • Current listening ports
  • Current established connections
  • Command line of the process that opened the connection
  • Hostname
  • Process name

Requirements

Windows

It is required to have Powershell 3.0 or newer installed on the machine, as well as enough rights to query the current processes and connections of the machine.

Linux

To gather information about Linux connections, it is necessary to have superuser privileges. This is because the connection_facts module explores the /proc directory to query current processes and connections, which requires elevated permissions.

Example Playbook
