Hi gentlemen,
We are using the Ansible to manage many servers, and we like the dry run
mode which with parameters "--check" and "--diff". We always run with these
parameters first to verify that if the changes will be made correctly.
The customized facts are very helpful, to generate some dynamic facts. But
the trouble is, when we ran with "--check", ansible skipped the customized
module.
So we can't use the dry run to check before we push if there are some
customized facts used in templates files.
Is there a way to fix this or work around?
Here are the detailed informations:
[root@idc1-server1 ansible]# cat roles/myfacts/tasks/main.yml
---
- name: run myfacts module to get customized facts
myfacts: get_facts=yes
- name: update file with the customized facts
template: src=myfacts.txt.j2 dest=/tmp/myfacts.txt
[root@idc1-server1 ansible]# cat roles/myfacts/templates/myfacts.txt.j2
ansible_private_ipv4_address : {{ ansible_private_ipv4_address }}

output = commands.getoutput("""/sbin/ifconfig |grep "Link encap" |awk
'{print $1}' |grep -wv 'lo'""")
nics = output.split('\n')
for i in nics:
ipaddr = commands.getoutput("""/sbin/ifconfig %s |grep -w "inet addr"
|cut -d: -f2 | awk '{print $1}'""" % (i))
if re.match(iprex,ipaddr):
ansible_private_ipv4_address = ipaddr
return ansible_private_ipv4_address
ansible_facts_dict = {
"changed" : False,
"ansible_facts" : {
}
}
args_file = sys.argv[1]
args_data = file(args_file).read()
arguments = shlex.split(args_data)
for arg in arguments:
if "=" in arg:
(key, value) = arg.split("=")
if key == "get_facts" and value == "yes":
ansible_private_ipv4_address = get_ansible_private_ipv4_address()
ansible_facts_dict['ansible_facts']['ansible_private_ipv4_address']
= ansible_private_ipv4_address
print json.dumps(ansible_facts_dict)
