So, you are already reading the file and fetching the details you want?


Here my requirement is to iterate the CSV file contents line by

If you have a CSV file, us the read_csv module.

[ansible-project] Re: aws_ec2 & constructed not working as per documentation?

[Derek Murawsky]

So after rereading the constructed documentation, and fiddling around, I 
managed to get this working. 

RE: constructed Documentation 
:
 
"Only variables already available from previous inventories or the fact 
cache can be used for templating." wasn't quite clear. I assumed that 
variables and groups created within constructed would be available within 
constructed and that is not the case. By creating the source groups in the 
aws_ec2.yml file, I was then able to create my dynamic logical groups in 
1-groups.config. The results are below. 

aws_ec2.yml
plugin: aws_ec2
regions:
 - us-west-2

boto_profile: correct_profile
keyed_groups:
 - prefix: tag
   key: tags
 - prefix: instance_type
   key: instance_type
 - key: 'security_groups|json_query("[].group_name")'
   prefix: "security_group"
 - key: placement.region
   prefix: aws_region
 - key: platform
   prefix: platform

hostnames:
 - private-ip-address


1-groups.config
plugin: constructed
groups:
 managed_web_servers: 
(group_names|intersect(['platform_windows','tag_creator_deployagent_service','tag_Name*web_server']))

[ansible-project] aws_ec2 & constructed not working as per documentation?

[Derek Murawsky]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a dynamic group of hosts that are in the intersection 
of 3 other groups. From what I am reading, I see that the new aws_ec2 and 
constructed inventory plugins should be able to do what I want. However I 
try per the documentation and it doesn't appear to be working. 

I have the following:

 aws_ec2.yml
plugin: aws_ec2
regions:
 - us-west-2

boto_profile: correct_profile
hostnames:
 - private-ip-address


1-groups.config
plugin: constructed
keyed_groups:
 - prefix: tag
   key: tags
 - prefix: instance_type
   key: instance_type
 - key: 'security_groups|json_query("[].group_name")'
   prefix: "security_group"
 - key: placement.region
   prefix: aws_region
 - key: platform
   prefix: platform
groups:
 managed_web_servers: 
(group_names|intersect(['platform_windows','tag_creator_deployagent_service']))
 # complex group membership
 multi_group: (group_names)


I run it with 
ansible-inventory -i inventory/path/aws_ec2.yml  -i inventory/1-groups.
config

In my output, I do see the platform_windows and 
tag_creator_deployagent_service groups. I do see multi_group as well. 
However managed_web_servers are nowhere to be found. I thought I pulled 
this from the documentation correctly, but it's not doing what I suspect it 
should. Could anyone share advice on this and/or help me debug it? There 
don't seem to be a lot of examples of the new inventory plugins, or my 
google-fu is failing me. 

Thanks,
-Derek

[ansible-project] Files validation

[Karthik Sivakumar]

Hi 

While executing the main.yml file , the ansible controller validate the 
main.yml , it checks for all files in the path , if the files is present , 
it runs sucessfully.
Eventhough we are creating the file at run time our ansible playbook checks 
whether the file is present or not.
How to overcome this problem. We don't want to hardcode the file name in 
the playbook.
We are using var_files in ansible playbook section to create a file at run 
time.   

could you please check on this issue 

Thanks & Regards,
Karthik

You could print {{ pkg.results.0.stdout }} for the first element of the
loop, or {{ pkg.results.1.stdout }} for the second element of the loop.

What this does is, take the array of dictionaries, and look in each
dictionary for the key stdout_lines. Then take the value of that key and
make a list out of it.

 If I want to limit execution of a playbook to staging servers, I worry
 about somebody forgetting the "--limit" flag. I'd prefer to do have a
 separate playbook, say "update-staging.yaml", that looks like this:

 - include: update.yaml hosts=staging

 Unfortunately, that doesn't work. Right now I'm using a makefile to

 Michael, would you accept merges that implemented this sort of host
 filtering on include statements? Would work the same as --limit on the
 command-line except it would be an argument to include.

  Not sure what to call it (limit, limit-hosts, hosts)?

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Limiting hosts when including playbooks

['Uffi Schnuffi' via Ansible Project]

This is no longer working with the new `import_playbook` module.

Is there a recommended way to achieve this (i.e. limiting hosts for an 
imported playbook?). I have not found a way as of yet.
