Impact

The "Ansible Tower - Detect" module does not have any direct impact on the target system. It solely focuses on detecting the presence of Ansible Tower and providing information about its configuration. It does not perform any actions or modifications on the target system.

How does the module work?

The "Ansible Tower - Detect" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target system and analyzing the responses. It uses a set of matching conditions to identify specific patterns or keywords associated with Ansible Tower.

One example of a matching condition is the presence of the "<title>Ansible Tower</title>" tag in the HTML response, indicating that the page is related to Ansible Tower. Another matching condition is the presence of the keyword "ansible-bootstrap" in the response.

By evaluating these matching conditions, the module determines whether Ansible Tower is present on the target system.
