Add a New Playbook

New playbooks must be added first before they can be viewed in Automation Gateway.

Default Location to Add Playbooks

The default location for custom content to add a playbook is /usr/share/automation-gateway/ansible/playbooks , or you can customize the folder path and add it to the Configuration/Ansible/Playbook Paths array (Figure 1). Once a Playbook is copied or downloaded to a folder in the Playbook Paths array and the Playbooks in Automation Gateway are refreshed, it will display.
