This is an ansible role that installs and configures the [Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE)](https://aide.github.io). For Day 2 tasks it can run integrity checks and update the AIDE database.
## What does this role do for you?
* It ensures that the `aide` package is installed on the remote nodes
* As an optional task it can generate the `/etc/aide.conf` file and template it out to the remote nodes
* It initializes the AIDE database
* The AIDE databases from the remote nodes are stored in a central directory on the controller node
* It runs AIDE integrity checks on the remote nodes
* It updates the AIDE databases and stores them on the controller node
## What does this role not do for you?
* It does not explain how to create a good AIDE configuration that suits your requirements; that task remains for you to accomplish
## Requirements
This role has no special requirements as it uses `ansible.builtin` modules
only.
## Role Variables
### aide_db_template
This variable takes a string to specify a path where the custom template for aide.conf is located.
To be sure that everething is correct, template needs to start with following snippet:
``` jinja
{{ ansible_managed | comment }}
{{ "system_role:aide" | comment(prefix="", postfix="") }}
```
Default: `null`
Type: `string`
### aide_db_fetch_dir
This variable takes a string to specify the directory on the Ansible Control
Node (ACN) where the role will store the AIDE database fetched from the remote
nodes. The default value is `files` which is expected to be a directory in the
same directory as the playbook.
In case you like to store the fetched AIDE database files somewhere else you
need to specify a different path here.
Default: `files`
Type: `string
### aide_init
Initializes the AIDE database.
Default: `false`
Type: `bool`
### aide_fetch_db
Fetches database from the remote nodes to store it on the controller node

Default: `false`
Type: `bool`
### aide_update
