Re: [ansible-project] Executing multiple roles in succession

2022-11-10 Thread Chris Bachmeyer

Hi, Walter,

I have everything running as it should.  It was my mistake.  I didn't
intend the full block in the initial email I sent this morning, only the
block for the second role.
The dynamic inventory is generated in the first role and passed to the
second, and the end-to-end deployment of instances on VMware now works
smoothly.

I haven't had time to look at restructuring the vars yet but thanks for the
input.

Really appreciate it!

Thanks again!

[ansible-project] Looking for a string inside a register

2022-11-10 Thread dudu.c...@gmail.com



i’m running an API call in order to get indexes in Elastic – The output is 
saved inside a registry (index_list).

I want to run an additional job that runs only in case the policy name can 
be found in the register output – The solution I gave is not working (I’m 
guessing that I need to loop inside the registry on specific fields ) -

in the example below i have a policy ID named *what*


*API Call*

 - name: Get ISM_retention policy
  uri:
url: http://elastic:9200/_opendistro/_ism/policies
method: GET
timeout: 180
body_format: json
  register: index_list


*The debug condition that I’m trying to run –* In the register output you 
can find the *u'policy_id': u'what'*

- debug: msg: hello 
  when: “'what' in index_list”

*The register output*

MSG:  (I have marked the policy ID in bold)

Re: [ansible-project] copy registered content to a file which is called from variable

2022-11-10 Thread Veera

Whatever "vars" is, it doesn't have any data with that name -  
exactly...  it will be a new file to be created by the copy's "dest ."


compare_out.stdout is having   the output of hundreds of lines to be 
printed parallely .  I have disabled the printing of its output (to reduce 
screen space) by 
register: compare_out
no_log: true 

###
Perhaps you mean this:

  dest="{{ comp_file }}"

Whatever. In any case, if I were you, I'd throw in a debug step and print 
out the values of "compare_out.stdout" and, er, whatever you think "dest" 
is supposed to be ("vars"? but I think you just mean "comp_file").
### ###
 on the above ,  I am trying to write the compare_out.stdout  which is 100+ 
lines  to a file which  have to created by  calling the variable "{{ 
comp_file }}"  as dest using copy .


may be we need template? Jinja ?  
Learn to study more ..  :-)

Re: [ansible-project] copy registered content to a file which is called from variable

2022-11-10 Thread Todd Lewis


Wait a second. You're saying "{{ vars[ comp_file ] }}", but

comp_file="/home/user1/ansible/patching/logs/2022-11-10/server1-compare-2022-11-10.txt"

So you're trying to pull a value from the "vars" dict with the key of
  
"/home/user1/ansible/patching/logs/2022-11-10/server1-compare-2022-11-10.txt".


Whatever "vars" is, it doesn't have any data with that name.

Perhaps you mean this:

  dest="{{ comp_file }}"

Whatever. In any case, if I were you, I'd throw in a debug step and 
print out the values of "compare_out.stdout" and, er, whatever you think 
"dest" is supposed to be ("vars"? but I think you just mean "comp_file").

I have perused your reply but can't dig into it right at the moment. I will get

Re: [ansible-project] copy registered content to a file which is called from variable

2022-11-10 Thread Todd Lewis


A couple of things. First,
comp_file: /logs/{{ exec_date }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}-compare-{{{ 
exec_date }}.txt

has three left braces on "exec_date".

Second, mustaches (i.e. "{{" … "}}") never nest. So
    copy content="{{ compare_out.stdout }}" dest="{{ vars[ {{ 
comp_file }} ] }}"

should be

    copy content="{{ compare_out.stdout }}" dest="{{ vars[ comp_file ] }}"
Well, at least that's "dest=" without nested mustaches. Whether it's 
right or not I don't know, but it's less wrong this way.

[ansible-project] Create VM instance from a predefined machine image

2022-11-10 Thread Valio V

Hello,
I am trying to create a VM instance from a predefined machine image using 
Ansible (ansible [core 2.13.5]) and google.cloud collection 
 (version 1.0.2).
I went through the Ansible doc for Google.Cloud and especially the 
gcp_compute_instance 
module 

 but 
could not find a way to do it.
Can you please let me know if there is any way to achieve this?

Re: [ansible-project] Executing multiple roles in succession

2022-11-10 Thread 'Rowe, Walter P. (Fed)' via Ansible Project

Does the vmware-windows role need the vars defined from the vars_files? If so
then the role itself should include them inside it's task file(s). Move the
vars_files inside tasks/main.yml. Anything the role does after that will get
the value of those vars definitions.

The vmware-windows role will see the values of network and vc_location that
come into the playbook executing the role. I presume they come in as extra_vars
from command line or ansible tower.

Re: [ansible-project] force file creation with template module

2022-11-10 Thread 'Rowe, Walter P. (Fed)' via Ansible Project

I would say force: true might be used when you simply want to force every
system to get an update regardless of whether the existing file matches the
template. I cannot think of a case where I personally would need that, but
someone clearly thought this might be needed so the param is there.

Ansible describes a state. In your case you want a file to look a certain way.
The task will compare the output of the derived template with the existing
file. If the existing file matches, no change is made. If the existing file
differs or does not exist, it is overwritten or created. You don't need the

[ansible-project] copy registered content to a file which is called from variable

2022-11-10 Thread Veera

Hi,

I am trying to copy the  contents from a register output  to a file  in the 
local server.
However , I have challenges in re-calling the variable filename in the copy 
command.

Correct me what I am missing. in dest="{{ vars[ {{ comp_file }} ] }}"  or 
"{{ compare_out.stdout }}"  in the last lines ..


[vee@server]$ grep comp_file  vars/postcheck_vars.yml
comp_file: /logs/{{ exec_date }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}-compare-{{{ 
exec_date }}.txt

[vee@server]$ cat  compare_sanity.yml
- name: comparing file1 and file2 
  local_action: command /usr/bin/sdiff "{{ logs_dir }}"{{ 
inventory_hostname }}-Pre-{{ exec_date }}.txt   "{{ logs_dir }}"{{ 
inventory_hostname }}-Post-{{ exec_date }}.txt
  register: compare_out
  ignore_errors: yes
  no_log: True

- name: create output  file
  local_action:
copy   content="{{ compare_out.stdout }}" dest="{{ vars[ {{ comp_file 
}} ] }}"
  [vee@server]$

Re: [ansible-project] force file creation with template module

2022-11-10 Thread 'Rowe, Walter P. (Fed)' via Ansible Project

Ansible describes a state. In your case you want a file to look a certain way. 
The task will compare the output of the derived template with the existing 
file. If the existing file matches, no change is made. If the existing file 
differs or does not exist, it is overwritten or created. You don't need the 
"force" param.

[ansible-project] force file creation with template module

2022-11-10 Thread dulhaver via Ansible Project

I need to repair some templated files from a previous playbook execution

# this is a test #

  - name: my template TEST - template postgres.conf
vars:
  - pg_service_name: "{{ item }}"
ansible.builtin.template:
  src: 00-ina-default.conf.j2   # 10-pg-service.conf
  dest: "/home/postgres/{{ pg_service_name }}/00-ina-default.conf"
  owner: postgres
  group: postgres
  force: true
  backup: true
  mode: 0600
become: true
loop:
  - somedir

# this was a test 

this works whether dest does not exist. I want to overwrite an existing file 
though. This file possibly is or is not identical.

Can it be the force only works when the new and the old file differ?

Re: [ansible-project] Executing multiple roles in succession

2022-11-10 Thread 'Rowe, Walter P. (Fed)' via Ansible Project

You need to make sure you use proper indentation. Your roles list needs to be
indented two spaces like your vars_files.

- name: VMware-windows create role
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
roles:
- vmware-windows

### this vars_files should not be needed
vars_files:
- ./roles/vmware-windows/vars/{{ vc_location }}.yml
- ./roles/vmware-windows/vars/{{ network }}.yml

- name: Windows-post role
hosts: windows
gather_facts: no
roles:
- windows-post

I presume that your vmware-windows role in the first play creates the host
group called "windows" that you use as the inventory in your second play?
