Hello,
(And apologies if this is something too trivial...)
I have a working playbook that searches and collects a string from a file
and, based on that string, sets another variable.
But I'm retrieving the string using grep/awk:
- name: Collect server location
ansible.builtin.shell: "/bin/grep {{ inventory_hostname }} {{
server_list_file }} | /bin/awk '{print $3}'"
register: grep_result
changed_when: ( grep_result.rc != 0 )
"{{ server_list_file }}" points to a file that looks like this:
serverA flavor locationX owner
serverB flavor locationY owner
serverC flavor locationZ owner
For completeness, this is how I'm using "grep_result":
- name: Set snmpd config file
ansible.builtin.set_fact:
snmpd_conf: "{% if grep_result.stdout == 'locationX' %}snmpd.conf-X\
{% elif grep_result.stdout == 'locationY' %}snmpd.conf-Y\
{% else %}snmpd.conf-Z\
{% endif %}"
How could I, as simply as using the command/shell modules, accomplish the
same results without resourcing to shell commands?
Thanks a lot,
Alex
