[ansible-project] Ansible 1.9.4 has been released

[James Cammarata]

Hi all, 1.9.4 has been released, and is now available.

This release addresses several bugs, most notably those related to the yum
module (introduced in 1.9.3):

* Fixes a bug where yum state=latest would error if there were no updates
to install.
* Fixes a bug where yum state=latest did not work with wildcard package
names.
* Fixes a bug in lineinfile relating to escape sequences.
* Fixes a bug where vars_prompt was not keeping passwords private by
default.
* Fix ansible-galaxy and the hipchat callback plugin to check that the host
it
  is contacting matches its TLS Certificate.

As always, this update is available via PyPi and releases.ansible.com now,
and packages for distros will be available as soon as possible.

Thanks, and enjoy!

[ansible-project] Adding dict key + value

[Guy Knights]

I'm trying to add a new key to an existing dictionary but I'm having some 
trouble. I have this set_fact task:

- set_fact:
ha.listeners.backends[item.key].servers="{{ groups[item.key] }}"
  with_dict: ha.listeners.backends

It runs through without complaining, but when I debug the car there's new 
data isn't in the dict. Is it even possible to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,
Guy

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Slow fact gathering or slow winrm on windows hosts

[Trond Hindenes]

That's unusual. For non-wan connections we are usually looking at max 3 
seconds for the setup module. What happens when you set up a psremoting 
session from a windows computer to the same nodes, hows performance?

Re: [ansible-project] Memory usage and requirements - oom-kill victim

[Robert Lupinek]

Enter code here...

- hosts: all
  remote_user: root
  serial: 20
  tasks:
  - name: Install nscd
yum: pkg=nscd state=latest disable_gpg_check=no
  - name: Transfer the conf file
copy: src=files/etc/nscd.conf dest=/etc/nscd.conf mode=0644 backup=yes
  - name: Configure service...
service: name=nscd state=restarted enabled=yes
  - name: Ensure nscd is started at boot time
action: command /sbin/chkconfig nscd on
  - name: deploy standard resolv.conf
copy: src=files/etc/resolv.conf dest=/etc/resolv.conf mode=0644 backup=
yes




My files are pretty tiny:

mst_nscd]# ls -la files/etc/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct  2 18:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 31 18:21 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  833 Sep  1 20:40 nscd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   96 Oct  2 15:07 resolv.con


I am running the /sbin/chkconfig nscd on because the enabled = is not 
working because I assumed I was running into 
this: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/237.

Thank you all for the kind responses!

Re: [ansible-project] Include unexisting files

[James Cammarata]

Correct, this is not possible with playbook-level includes, however you
could do it with task-level includes in 2.0.

Re: [ansible-project] Memory usage and requirements - oom-kill victim

[James Cammarata]

Yes, this appears to be similar to the bug SVG pointed out, which I've
tracked down to being related to the way python queues use pickle to
serialize dictionary data (the resulting size of the data can be 200x than
it was in the dictionary before). I'm currently working on a solution to
this, and hope to include it in the next beta round.

[ansible-project] Re: Disable Nagios Alerts

[Dimitri Yioulos]

Veera,

I got your request for an example off-list, but thought I'd post it here:

---

- hosts: all
  gather_facts: true
#  sudo: yes

  tasks:
- nagios: action=downtime minutes=5 author="Dimitri Yioulos" 
service=host host={{item}}
  with_items: "{{ groups['test'] }}"
  delegate_to: admin2
  tags:
 - nagios_downtime
- nagios: action=downtime minutes=5 author="Dimitri Yioulos" 
service=all host={{item}}
  with_items: "{{ groups['test'] }}"
  delegate_to: admin2
  tags:
 - nagios_downtime

These tasks put all of the hosts in the 'test' group, and their services, 
in Downtime for five minutes.  The Nagios server is admin2.  With hosts and 
their services in Downtime I can, of course, reboot the hosts without 
setting off alerts.

HTH.

Dimitri

Re: [ansible-project] Configuration error: No MPM loaded when using validate in apache role

[Joseph Djomeda]

Hello All,

I have tried with single configuration this time but it didn't work still.
I get the part it checks before but in my case I was not even using it.
it's part of a include file task that would get skipped anyway. So am not
too sure how to make this compatible with my
include_file_based_on_condition bit.

How does that work?

Best Regards,

Re: [ansible-project] Playbook organization with var files

you can already set plugins paths in ansible.cfg, as for
group/host_vars they are also relative to inventory, which I guess you
share across plays, so it all can already be organized 'globally'

Re: [ansible-project] Re: List of Ansible default variables

[Kale Franz]

Brian,

This is incredibly useful info and could be helpful to add to the official 
documentation.

Similar to the play_hosts variable, is there something like a "play_roles" 
variable that is an ordered list of roles for the current play?  I'd like 
to be able to trigger certain behavior (restarts and such) based on the 
presence or absence of particular roles in that list.

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Slow fact gathering or slow winrm on windows hosts

[Brian Coca]

there is no plan to allow per task serial, it is not a feature in 2.0.

you can easily add a play in the middle of a playbook for such tasks
that need a change in the 'serial' setting

All servers are local in this building.  Will look at increasing forks even
more than we already have, though limited in what we can do until 2.0 is
released and allows for per task serial values.

[ansible-project] group name from variable

[francesco . savignago]

Hi!
I would like to run a role something like

- name: debug role
  debug: msg="{{ hostvars[item].ansible_host }}"
  with_items: groups[ {{ALLOWED_HOSTS_GROUP}} ]

however the syntax groups[ {{ALLOWED_HOSTS_GROUP}} ] is not accepted.
Is there any other way to pass a group name from a variable defined e.g. in 
a playbook?

Thanks for your support.

[ansible-project] Re: Slow fact gathering or slow winrm on windows hosts

[Trond Hindenes]

There's no getting around the fact that winrm is a much slower protocol 
than ssh. Those numbers seem unreasonably high tho. Any chance you're using 
a local ansible control node against cloud-based windows servers?

You could also consider speeding up your playbooks using the "forks" 
(http://www.ansible.com/blog/ansible-performance-tuning)

validate checks the file BEFORE putting it into place, since you are
using a multifile configuration, the validation will always fail as it
is missing the rest of the apache config.


validate is only useful with single file configurations

[ansible-project] Configuration error: No MPM loaded when using validate in apache role

[Joseph Djomeda]

Hello Guys,

I am sure this is a little issue many of you have already solve but I seem
stuck about this rc:1 error:AH00534: apache2: Configuration error: No MPM
loaded when I use validate in tempate module of my apache role.

Everything works file when commented out. Looks like so many fix on google
, some about making getting the mpm module used (depends on OS) and using
the right one, but it seems ubuntu node which I am using is nicely
configured with those defaults so I am out of options here.

My work in on pastie.org 

Kindly shed some light on what I am doing wrong.

Best Regards,

Re: [ansible-project] Memory usage and requirements - oom-kill victim

[Serge van Ginderachter]

In my experience, OOM's happen when the inventory is large, especially when
having lots of variables in the inventory, combined with lots (several
hundreds) of hosts.

Not very scientific, but to get a rough idea on the size of your inventory,
could you show the output of


$ time (ansible all -m debug -a var=hostvars |wc -l ; ansible all
--list-hosts |wc -l)
19788298
1046

real2m3.222s
user6m54.500s
sys0m7.772s


Mine would yield 19.788.298 hostvars lines for 1046 hosts.

That used to be a lot more, before I made some optimisations on a dynamic
inventory script that calculated a bunch of variables:

$ ansible all -m debug -a var=hostvars |wc -l ; ansible all --list-hosts
|wc -l
95924259
1037
(that last job took 17 minutes to run, on an i7 quadcore laptop )

can you show the play that is producing this issue?  Plenty of people
use the yum module with those versions and do not report such an
issue.

[ansible-project] Playbook organization with var files

[Mike Biancaniello]

I have the same issues trying to manage a ton of playbooks that all use the
same resources (which is how I stumbled upon this). However, after reading
the comments, I think I better understand where Ansible is coming from.

(people who know I'm sure will correct me if I'm wrong)

It seems as though Ansible considers each playbook tied to an inventory and
group_vars are also explicitly tied to inventory. Therefore, it would
reason that if you want to logically separate your playbooks into
subdirectories, the separation should be along inventory boundaries such
that the group_vars/ mostly do not need to be shared between playbook
subdirs. Furthermore, if you do have resources that are shared
(./group_vars/all, ./library/, ./filter_plugins/, &c), then you can
accomplish this with symlinks.

That being said, it would be nice to have an option for ansible-playbook
that set a reference directory.

e.g.

$ ansible-playbook -i thesehosts playbooks/thesehosts/this_playbook.yml
--shared_dir=.

or

$ ANISBLE_PATH=. ansible-playbook -i thesehosts
playbooks/thesehosts/this_playbook.yml

which would avoid the need for symlinks.

Of course ... could all of this be avoided if we put ALL shared resources
in /etc/ansible/ ? roles, group_vars, filter_plugins, &c?

Ok,  

On the RHEL 7 host my versions are as follows:

1. ansible =ansible 1.9.3
2. PythoPython = 2.7.5 

  On the RHEL 6 host my versions are as follows:

1. ansible = ansible 1.9.2
2. Python = Python 2.6.6 

I will report back once I can start monitoring malloc.

[ansible-project] Slow fact gathering or slow winrm on windows hosts

[Michael Baydoun]

A few of our windows hosts take 20-30 seconds to gather facts, and that's 
the good news.  The other hosts take > 1 minute just to gather facts.  
When run with -, it appears to me that every winrm step just takes a 
long time.

Has anyone run into this?  Suggestions?  Adding each windows host to our 
inventory is causing painful increases in site.yml run time.
Note: running ansible 1.9.2, and hoping 2.0 will improve the situation when 
it's released

I wrote a test to gather run times for fact gathering, results for windows 
hosts below (with hostnames removed)

[ansible-project] module to release floating ips in openstack?

[Tim Rupp]

Hey folks,

Is anyone aware of a module that can be used to release floating ip 
addresses allocated to a project? There is an os_floating_ip module, but it 
only looks like it handles attaching and detaching them. I specifically 
want to release one if it was allocated to my project.

Thanks,
tim

Re: [ansible-project] Include unexisting files

[Dan C]

Thanks David.
I think it would be a nice feature.
Right now I suppose that I could just run ansible-playbook from within the 
ansible playbook which would run the "
*/this/file/does/not/exist/yet/configure.yml*" playbook. It should work, 
shouldn't it? But it even sound so awfull ! ;-)
