Sysroles Fingerprint - file /var/log/sysroles.jsonl

This module provides a parser for the RHEL System Roles fingerprint data stored in /var/log/sysroles.jsonl. The file is in JSONL (newline-delimited JSON) format, where each line contains a separate JSON object representing a system role execution fingerprint.

class insights.parsers.sysroles_fingerprint.SysrolesFingerprint(context)

Bases: Parser, list

Parse the /var/log/sysroles.jsonl file containing RHEL System Roles fingerprint data in JSONL format.

The parser reads each line as a separate JSON object and stores them in a list. Each record represents an execution fingerprint from the rhel-system-roles package.

Sample input:

{"date": "2026-08-03T10:15:00+02:00", "role_name": "redhat.rhel_system_roles.network", "role_path": "/usr/share/ansible/roles/linux-system-roles.network", "status": "success", "ansible_version": "2.16.3", "managed_node_distro": "RedHat-9.4", "play_hosts_number": 3, "ansible_check_mode": false}
{"date": "2026-08-03T10:18:22+02:00", "role_name": "redhat.rhel_system_roles.timesync", "role_path": "/usr/share/ansible/roles/linux-system-roles.timesync", "status": "success", "ansible_version": "2.16.3", "managed_node_distro": "RedHat-9.4", "play_hosts_number": 3, "ansible_check_mode": false}

Raises:

• SkipComponent -- when the file is empty or contains no parsable data.

• ParseException -- when any line contains invalid JSON.

Examples

>>> type(sysroles_fingerprint)
<class 'insights.parsers.sysroles_fingerprint.SysrolesFingerprint'>
>>> len(sysroles_fingerprint)
2
>>> sysroles_fingerprint[0]['role_name']
'redhat.rhel_system_roles.network'
>>> sysroles_fingerprint[0]['status']
'success'
>>> sysroles_fingerprint[0]['play_hosts_number']
3
>>> sysroles_fingerprint[1]['role_name']
'redhat.rhel_system_roles.timesync'
>>> sysroles_fingerprint[1]['ansible_check_mode']
False
