Issue with long running AIDE updates

[shanemhartley]

Hello -

I am trying to utilize this Ansible role.
Is there a way to get this to run against very large file systems, when I run the update playbook, it either times out due to SSH, or if I use asynchronous flags in Ansible with a timeout on the job, the job appears to fail. How can I make this work for large file systems where the update takes more than an hour?

@shanemhartley do you know which particular task is timing out? Is it the Update AIDE database task or the Fetch AIDE database task?

Thanks for responding, I figured it out, it was an issue where I had to enable pipelining to get it to run.
