How to know in which task an ansible play failed when launched using AWX API?

I intend to launch ansible jobs on AWX using AWX api and get a call back from the ansible playbook to be informed about the result of the play.

To do so I'm using the /api/v2/job_templates/<job-template-id>/launch/ with some extra_vars in the body to pass parameters to my play.

{
	"extra_vars": {
		"target": "w.x.y.z",  (put here a real IP)
		"directory_name_1": "dir1",
		"directory_name_2": "dir2",
		"file_name": "file1"  (or "subdir/file1" to make it fails)
	}
}

I've also configured a webhook notification in the job-template with the default customization: {{ job_metadata }}

I've put here the play I'm using which is super simple, it creates 2 directories and one file in the first directory.

- hosts: "{{ target }}"
  name: fbplay
  tasks:
    - name: Create dummy directory 1
      file:
        path: "{{directory_name_1}}"
        state: directory
    - name: Create dummy directory 2
      file:
        path: "{{directory_name_2}}"
        state: directory
    - name: Create dummy file in directory
      file:
        path: "{{directory_name_1}}/{{file_name}}"
        state: touch
        mode: u=rw,g=r,o=r

All of this work great and in case of error 4 tasks will be executed on the target machine:

TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************
TASK [Create dummy directory 1] ************************************************
TASK [Create dummy directory 2] ************************************************
TASK [Create dummy file in directory] ******************************************

...but here is my question with regard to error handling: How can I indicate in the call back which task failed in case of error ?

In fact I can know if the play failed or not getting, in case of success:

  "hosts": {
    "w.x.y.z": {
      "failed": false,
      "changed": 1,
      "dark": 0,
      "failures": 0,
      "ok": 4,
      "processed": 1,
      "skipped": 0,
      "rescued": 0,
      "ignored": 0
    }
  }

and in case of failure:

  "hosts": {
    "w.x.y.z": {
      "failed": true,
      "changed": 0,
      "dark": 0,
      "failures": 1,
      "ok": 3,
      "processed": 1,
      "skipped": 0,
      "rescued": 0,
      "ignored": 0
    }
  }

But I cannot get the exact task that failed (in this case the last one by passing a filename containing a sub-directory that does not exist for example).

I'm a newbie on AWX & ansible and I'm fighting with what I thought would be a relatively simple point... so any hints or ideas is welcome.

Thx beforehand.

in case it helps someone, I actually confirm that ARA does what I was looking for above which is to display if using its web client (or provide through an API) exactly which task failed in each playbook you ran.

ARA does an excellent job for analyzing awx-runs, but it has to be set up on the AWX-server (the host running the AWX instance), if I understand correctly.

A workaroud would be to use the awx commandline interface ( see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/towercli/index.html and * ):

watch --color 'awx --conf.host https://awx.site --conf.username my.user --conf.password "my_super_secret" -k -f human job_events list --job 3232445 --event "runner_on_failed" --filter "stdout"'

One could also sroll the API for different "?event=runner_on_failed", like:

https://your.awx.site/api/v2/jobs/3232445/job_events/?event=runner_on_failed

Or other "filters" like:

awx --conf.host https://awx.site --conf.username my.user --conf.password "my_supersecret" -k -f human job_events list --job 3232445 --event "runner_on_unreachable" --filter "*" >/tmp/tmp
