[ansible-project] Which ansible.cfg value is the "ansible-playbook -T" flag overriding?

[ibdg]

Per my stackoverflow 
question: 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54757444/which-ansible-cfg-timeout-value-is-t-overriding-on-the-ansible-playbook-comma

The ansible-playbook documentation 
 says that -T 
will "override the connection timeout in seconds (default=10)".


In the /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg file, under the [persistent_connection] 
section, 
there's *connect_timeout* *(default 30 sec)* and *command_timeout* *(default 
10 sec)*.


The ansible-playbook documentation would suggest it's the *connect_timeout* 
being 
overridden, but the default value that page specifies doesn't match the 
*connect_timeout* default value, it matches the *command_timeout* default 
value.


So, does the -T flag on the ansible-playbook command override the 
*connect_timeout*, *command_timeout*, or some other timeout not related to 
either of those?

[ansible-project] Dropping Fedora rpms from https://releases.ansible.com/

[Toshio Kuratomi]

Hey all,

Recently we had a discussion internally about whether to build
upstream Ansible rpms on Fedora 29 using Python3 or Python2.  This
lead to a question about how useful the Fedora rpms Ansible releases
on https://releases.ansible.com/ are.  We found that for each of the
Fedora releases, the rpms are being downloaded 300-350 times a week
(including downloads that seem to simply be mirrors of all of the rpms
we've built).

By comparison, our builds for EPEL-7 are seeing about 8,800 downloads a week.

Given this, we're thinking that we should stop building rpms for
Fedora and instead encourage people to use the rpms provided by the
Fedora Project themselves (which will tend to be more responsive to
changes in Fedora's packaging ecosystem... for instance, they have
Ansible rpms on Fedora 29 which use Python3, the default python for
that version of the distro).

If anyone uses our rpms in preference to the Fedora rpms, could you
let us know that you do so and why you use them over the ones provided
by Fedora?  If we don't hear of a good reason to do so, we'll probably
stop building for Fedora in a release or two.

Thanks,
-Toshio

[ansible-project] Re: WinRM timeout for VMWare Tools Install

[Jordan Borean]

The psrp connection plugin in Ansible 2.8 adds a reconnection_retries and 
reconnection_backoff option that allows you to retry a connection x amount 
of times on a ReadTimeout 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/plugins/connection/psrp.html. You 
could try that out and see how it goes.

The docs jhawkesworth linked to showed you that it is possible possible to 
delay the reboot, you should be doing that then running win_reboot after 
installing the tools so Ansible handles the reboot for you.

Thanks

Jordan

Although this make things work, there still is something off in your
network configuration, as the OS for some reason thinks it has IPv6
connectivity, tries to use that, and then fails.
On a vanilla Bionic64 VM with working IPv6 this works instantly, so
the general IPv6 connectivity of download.docker.com looks to be fine.

You both comfirm that Ansible is the best way to maintain sure control

Do you know a good tutorial to set up this system ?


I'd start with the official documentation. Learn some basic Ansible 
concepts like inventory and start with template module. If you have any 
specific questions, ask here.

Re: [ansible-project] How to handle case when dynamic inventory initially returns empty host list?

Perhaps add a static inventory item alongside the dynamic so the scripts

[ansible-project] Export debug msg to a file

[Adelmo Silva]

Good Morning
I need to send to a text file a message that appears in debug msg after a 
check if a directory exists. Follow Playbook below. But it is giving error 
in the recording of the file.

This is my Playbook

hosts: teste
become: yes
become_user: root
become_method: sudo
gather_facts: yes

tasks:

* name: Verificando Diretórios
  stat:
  path: /etc/teste_path/
  register: path
* debug:
  msg: "Diretório Ok"
  when: path.stat.isdir is defined and path.stat.isdir
* debug:
  msg: "Diretório Não existe"
  when: path.stat.exists == False
* debug: var=path.stdout_lines
* name: Gravando Valores
  local_action: lineinfile path=/root/find_path.txt 
line={{path.stdout_lines}}; create=yes


And results with errors:

ASK [Gravando Valores] 
*
fatal: [10.0.10.117]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with 
an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 
'stdout_lines'\n\nThe error appears to have been in 
'/root/Ansible/Playbooks/find_path.yaml': line 24, column 5, but may\nbe 
elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe 
offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Gravando Valores\n ^ 
here\n\nexception type: \nexception: 'dict object' has no 
attribute 'stdout_lines'"}
fatal: [10.0.10.122]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with 
an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 
'stdout_lines'\n\nThe error appears to have been in 
'/root/Ansible/Playbooks/find_path.yaml': line 24, column 5, but may\nbe 
elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe 
offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Gravando Valores\n ^ 
here\n\nexception type: \nexception: 'dict object' has no 
attribute 'stdout_lines'"}
to retry, use: --limit @/root/Ansible/Playbooks/find_path.retry



Thansk for your attention.

Re: [ansible-project] Check if test server configuration is same as prod server

[Yacine Mourchid]

This Speadsheet gets populated manually and these OK/KO values are a simply 
excel formule to compare both values.
You both comfirm that Ansible is the best way to maintain sure control of 
configurations and comparison of both environnement.

Do you know a good tutorial to set up this system ?
