+If ARA is enabled, generates a report or saves a copy of the ARA database.
+
+**Role Variables**
+
+.. zuul:rolevar:: ara_report_run
+   :default: ``true``
+
+   Whether to run this role or not.
+   Possible values:
+
+   - ``true`` (always run)
+   - ``false`` (never run)
+   - ``failure`` (only run when there has been a failure)
+
+.. zuul:rolevar:: ara_database_path
+   :default: ``{{ zuul.executor.work_root }}/.ara/ansible.sqlite``
+
+   Absolute path where the ARA database is expected on the control node.
+   This should be where the ansible-playbook execution had ARA save the host,
+   task and result data if you provided a custom location through
+   ``ARA_DATABASE`` or an ``ansible.cfg`` file.
+
+.. zuul:rolevar:: ara_report_type
+   :default: ``html``
+
+   Possible values:
+
+   - ``html``
+   - ``database``
+
+   ``html`` will have ARA generate and save a statically generated HTML report
+   inside ``ara_report_path``.
+
+   ``database`` will only save the raw ARA sqlite database inside
+   ``ara_report_path``. The database can then be downloaded by users or loaded
+   dynamically by the ``ara-wsgi-sqlite`` middleware.
+
+   See the `ARA documentation`_ for details.
+
+.. _ARA documentation: https://ara.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced.html
+
+.. zuul:rolevar:: ara_compress_html
+   :default: ``true``
+
+   When report_type is 'html', whether to compress the ARA HTML output or not.
+
+.. tip::
+   Make sure the web server is configured to set the required mimetypes_ in
+   order to serve gzipped content properly.
+
+.. _mimetypes: https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/puppet-openstackci/tree/templates/logs.vhost.erb?id=5fe1f3d2d5e40c2458721e7dcf8631d62ea2525f#n24
+
+.. zuul:rolevar:: ara_report_path
+   :default: ``ara``
+
+   This path is relative to the root of the log directory.
+
+   When report_type is 'html' directory where the HTML report will be generated.
+   When report_type is 'database', directory where the database is saved.
