[ansible-project] How to use 'with_items' based on variable?

[Bharath Kumar]

Hello Ansible Experts,

I am creating a Role, which has a task to download multiple files from an 
URL, and, for that, I am using get_url module. Since, get_url cant download 
files recursively, I have been trying to use 'with_items'.

Role Snippets Below.

/defaults/main.yml
---

files: "{{ dir }}_files"


/vars/main.yml
---
onedir_files:
 - abc1
 - abc2
 - abc3


twodir_files:
 - xyz1
 - xyz2


threedir_files:
 - one
 - two
 - three

/tasks/main.yml
---
- name: Download Properties Files!
  get_url:
url: "{{ url }}/{{ dir }}/{{ item }}"
dest: "{{ dest_dir }}/"
  with_items: "{{ files }}"

*ansible-playbook test.yml --extra-vars "dir=one"*

Running all tasks fine until the get_url, and, failing with below.

failed: [target_host] (item=onedir_files) => {"changed": false, "dest": 
"/some/target/path", "gid": 0, "group": "root", "item": "onedir_files", 
"mode": "0755", "msg": "Request failed", "owner": "root", "response": "HTTP 
Error 404: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E175007: Path 
'/some/path/", "secontext": "unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0", "size": 
4096, "state": "directory", "status_code": 404, "uid": 0, "url": 
"https://someurl/one/onedir_files"}

Please let me know where I have gone wrong? or, a best practice or a good 
approach for the above problem/requirement. 

Thanks in Advance.

Re: [ansible-project] How to set timeout value for a task using shell module?

[S C Rigler]

Assuming the target machine is running a modern Linux version, you can
run the "timeout" command in your shell.

Like:

- shell: timeout -s 9 10 /usr/bin/command that does something

That will send a "kill -9" to the command if it doesn't finish in 10 seconds.

[ansible-project] How to set timeout value for a task using shell module?

[Saravanan]

Hi Ansible Experts,
We are running tasks using shell module. Sometime these tasks are pending 
due to backend application server slow response. Is there anyway to set 
timeout for these tasks to exit after certain time period?

Regards
Saravanan

[ansible-project] Re: Task history (per host)

[Jimmy Htor]

Just wanted to let you know that I implemented sth: 
https://github.com/NotAProfessionalDeveloper/ansible-tools/tree/master/ara_host_history

It's a little crude since it uses the ARA DB directly, however the ARA CLI 
doesn't seem to provide all the necessary data in such an easy way.
I must also admit that I only found out about the CLI later, so I might 
give it another try some time. But for now it works.

Have fun
