Re: [ansible-project] read password from a variable

[Avinash Jadhav]

You can try this one
- name: Prompt for password
  vars_prompt:
- name: my_pwd
  prompt: "Enter your password"
  private: true

- name: Source the environment variable file
  shell: "source ./myenv"



- name: Retrieve password from Ansible Vault
  shell: "ansible-vault view my_password_file --vault-password-file
~/.vault_pass.txt"
  register: password_output

- name: Source the environment variable file
  shell: "source ./myenv"
  environment:
MY_PASSWORD: "{{ password_output.stdout }}"
[image: Avinash Jadhav]
Is there any other way/module to read the password from the variable ?

Yes, there are several ways to read a password from a variable in a secure
manner. One common method is to use the getpass module in Python.

The getpass module provides a way to securely prompt the user for a
password without echoing the characters typed to the screen. Here's an
example of how to use it:

pythonCopy code
import getpass

password = getpass.getpass(prompt='Enter your password: ')

When this code runs, the user will be prompted to enter their password, but
the characters they type will not be displayed on the screen. The password
will be stored in the password variable.

Another way to securely store passwords is to use an encryption library
like cryptography or pycryptodome. These libraries provide methods for
encrypting and decrypting sensitive information, including passwords.

However, it's important to keep in mind that no method is 100% foolproof,
and there is always some risk involved when handling sensitive information
like passwords. It's always a good idea to follow best practices for
password security, such as storing passwords in a secure password manager,
using strong and unique passwords, and using two-factor authentication
whenever possible.

Is there any other way/module to read the password from the variable using
the Ansible

Yes, there are several ways to securely read a password from a variable in
Ansible. Here are some options:

   1.

   Ansible Vault: Ansible Vault is a built-in feature that allows you to
   encrypt sensitive data, such as passwords and keys, in your inventory or
   playbook files. You can use the ansible-vault command to encrypt and
   decrypt files containing sensitive data. To read the password from an
   encrypted variable, you can use the ansible-vault command to decrypt the
   file containing the variable and then read the variable value.
   2.

   Ansible Credential Plugin: Ansible has a built-in credential plugin
   system that allows you to securely store and retrieve credentials, such as
   passwords and keys, from a variety of sources, including Hashicorp Vault,
   CyberArk, and more. To use a credential plugin to read a password from a
   variable, you can define the credential in your inventory or playbook and
   then use the lookup function to retrieve the password.
   3.

   Environment Variables: You can store sensitive data, such as passwords
   and keys, in environment variables and then read the variable value in your
   playbook using the lookup function. To ensure the security of the
   password, you should encrypt the environment variable using an external
   tool, such as ansible-vault or a third-party encryption tool.
   4.

   Python Script: You can write a custom Python script that reads the
   password from a file or another secure source, and then use the script
   module in Ansible to run the script and retrieve the password value.

Each of these options has its own pros and cons, so it's important to
choose the one that best suits your use case and security requirements.
[image: Avinash Jadhav]
my_pwd: hiddenpass - name: source the environment variable file shell: "
source ./myenv" while executing i am prompted with a password so I am using
the expect module to pass the password name: Case insensitive password
string match ansible.builtin.expect: command: source ./myenv responses:
(?i)password: "{{ my_pwd }}" # you don't want to show passwords in your
logs no_log: true it fails with below error: fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! =>
{ "censored": "the output has been hidden due to the fact that 'no_log:
true' was specified for this result", "changed": false } if i set no_log:
false , then i receive the below error "msg": "Failed to import the
required Python library (pexpect) Is there any other way/module to read the
password from the variable ?

Yes, there are other ways to read a password from a variable in Ansible
without using the expect module.

One way is to use the vars_prompt module to prompt the user for the
password at runtime. Here's an example:

yamlCopy code
- name: Prompt for password
  vars_prompt:
- name: my_pwd
  prompt: "Enter your password"
  private: true
- name: Source the environment variable file
  

Re: [ansible-project] what does this command Mean?

[Avinash Jadhav]

Re: [ansible-project] Cisco Switch Discovery in Ansible Tower

Hi

firstly you need to create an inventory which you want to install and in
inventory need to mention DNS/IP/target name - any
second, write a playbook with a task which you need to install on the
target system

[Avinash Jadhav]

Hi Mujeeb,
Please follow the below step

Once you are done with the AWS account and the User creation, you can move
forward and install the required things.

   1. Ansible:
  1. Install Ansible on a RHEL/CentOS Linux based system
 1. *$ sudo yum install Ansible*
  2. Install Ansible on a Debian/Ubuntu Linux based system
 1. *$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common*
 2. *$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:Ansible/Ansible*
 3. *$ sudo apt-get update*
 4. *$ sudo apt-get install Ansible*
  3. Install Ansible using pip
 1. *$ sudo pip install Ansible*
 2. *Once installed you can verify by Ansible –version this
 command.*
  2. Python:
  1. $ sudo apt-get update
  2. $ sudo apt-get install python3.6
  3. You can follow this link
   for more
  details.
   3. Boto: (Boto is a Python package which provides an interface to AWS.)
  1. First, install pip
 1. *$ sudo apt install python3-pip or*
 2. *$ yum install python-pip*
  2. Now install boto
 1. *$ pip install boto*

Now, we are done with the package installation, we can move ahead and start
writing our Ansible playbook.
Note: There are multiple ways you can install the above packages. I have
added the ones that I followed but you can install as per your knowledge.
Now open a terminal and create a file with the extension .yml or .ymal, add
below script and save it.

# Basic provisioning example
- name: Ansible test
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: launching AWS instance using Ansible
ec2:
key_name: aws_instance_Ansible
instance_type: t2.micro
image: ami-0dacb0c129b49f529
region: us-east-2
wait: yes
group: Ansible
count: 1
vpc_subnet_id: default
assign_public_ip: yes
aws_access_key: ***
Aws_secret_key: ***

[ansible-project] windows CPU Memory Swap-Memory utilization report in txt format

[Avinash Jadhav]

Hello Ansible Team

I am trying to develped below task 

CPU/Memory related alerts need manual intervention to review the system 
health against the resources consuming the CPU/MEMORY. Every time engineer 
needs to login to the system and performs the troubleshooting leading more 
effort consumption *Objective - To develop the mechanism that enables 
centralized management of CPU/Memory utilization issues* *Expected Outcome 
- Mechanism may provide functionality :* • Find Total MEM/CPU Utilization • 
List Top 20 CPU/MEM Utilization in process • List Virtual memory Statistics 
• List of Virtual CPU Statistics 

Team any one have idea please help me on that how i do this using ansible 
for widows 

Thank you Team
Avinash
