Hi,
I have two testing environments, located in different regions. Within each
of those environments, among all the servers, there is a monitoring server.
In one of my ansible roles I would like to be able to select the ip address
of the relevant monitoring server. I thought that I could use a
Thanks Josh. That's useful to know about. I have one of the situations that
the README describes - I have some kit at Rackspace, and some on a
dedicated server elsewhere. At the moment, I store all the inventory files
in a directory, inventories. When I run a playbook I provide the directory
makes the selection clearer to
read which is a bonus too.
Hope this helps someone else.

Mehul / Karen,
Did you ever get anywhere with this? I have just arrived at the same
problem and am looking for a solution too.
When I run:
ansible prod -i ./inventories/rax.py -c local -m debug -a var="{{

If I understand your question correctly, then why not just have two
playbooks? We have an infrastructure.yml playbook which provisions a server
for us. We also have another playbook which makes alterations to that
server dependent on its role. For example, in our case when we provision a

I'd like to know how others are dealing with keeping their group_vars files
granular. Ours have become a little unwieldily and we're considering
approaches to breaking them apart.
When we provision a server, we assign it to a number of groups. Among those
groups, each server is added to
Hi,
We use ansible to create servers at Rackspace. We rely on rax.py to provide
the inventory of the current server configuration. Currently, the play that
creates the required servers this looks like this:
- name: "Create infrastructure"
hosts: localhost
vars:
network_name: "{{

Rather than post a new thread, I thought that I would resurrect this one,
as Brian's suggestion - to use `meta: refresh_inventory` sounds to be
exactly what I'm looking for. However, after some number of attempts, I can
not seem to get it to work. Does anyone have an example that they wouldn't
Hi,
On a weekly basis I upgrade any packages for which there are available
updates on our servers. I first perform this in our test environment, and
then once happy with those changes, in our production environment. Though
it's not a massive task, I have started to look at how I could do this

Hi there,
I'd like to understand how I can access a set of newly created rackspace

At the moment, parts of my playbook are being ignored because the groups

We were faced with what seems like a similar problem recently. I couldn't
find any information online about how to solve it, but was lucky enough to
be given a pointer by somebody on the IRC channel. I thought that I would

I'd like to be able to start 3 services that I am deploying by iterating
over one generic template that I have for them.
Is it possible to pass variables through to the template task using
