I want tool for Tracing and understanding flow of Playbooks and roles of Ansible

[Mukeshkumar]

I want to know what effect and change will be there while running playbook. I want to know the meaning and effect every line of Playbook when it runs, SO I can understand playbook better.

Please Help.

Best would be to read the comprehensive documentation being provided on the Ansible website.

If by "effect" you mean whether a change will be made after running a playbook, I'd suggest using the 'dry-run' (-C, --check) option.

To understand what plays and tasks are part of a playbook, I might use the --list-tasks option and look closely at ones that stand out to me... reading the ansible-doc information for any modules I'm unfamiliar with.

The best option to monitor the execution of the playbook is to use --step.  This would stop at every task at show the result of the execution.

Thanks,

Possibly; however, I take the question to mean the user want to figure out what should happen as opposed to stepping through the playbook.
