Re: [ansible-project] Is there anyway to consolidate these set_fact tasks?

I previously tried ec2_vpc_net_facts, but it's not available until version 
2.1 (not release yet).

Wouldn't I still need to register the output and extract the vpc_id for use 
in subsequent subnet, security group, and other tasks.

[ansible-project] Understanding ansible branching model

[Michael Baydoun]

Can anyone point me to a doc or site that details what branching model the 
ansible project is following?
I'd like to better understand what I'm seeing in the github repository, and 
apply some of that to our internal workflow if appropriate and useful.

Re: [ansible-project] Random undefined variables (facts) since ansible 2.0 upgrade

We do, and have been looking at that.  The facts for all hosts are getting 
gathered/refreshed during the first included playbook in site.yml, and the 
cache is not supposed to be expiring for 3 hours, with our entire run 
taking less than 2 hours.  The cache files are present on disk, etcetera.  

We did launch a site.yml run with fact caching commented out of 
ansible.cfg, waiting to see how that run works.

Re: [ansible-project] Random undefined variables (facts) since ansible 2.0 upgrade

[Michael Baydoun]

In our case, the facts are being gathered, and used other plays included in 
site.yml, but later on in a subsequent play the a fact that was defined 
previously is suddenly undefined, on some random hosts, but not all.  It's 
happening on windows and linux hosts.

This is still occurring during our full site.yml run, but it's so far 
impossible to replicate in a small example.  It only occurs on our full 
site.yml run with no limits, any attempt to limit to certain hosts or tags 
result in no errors.

Some ansible playbook runs will work on most hosts, but 1-3 will fail with

works.

ERROR! error while evaluating conditional (ansible_os_family == 'Windows'):

Both report ansible 2.0.0.0 no matter what 2.x version I really have

Is this an error with ansible, or an error on the part of the pip packager?

[ansible-project] For 2.0 How to test if variable set to null in when clause

[Michael Baydoun]

pre 2.0

set_fact:
  uberHost: "{{ ansible_ssh_host }}"
when: ansible_ssh_host is defined

set fact:
  uberHost: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
when: ansible_ssh_host is not defined


Post 2.0, changed to use ansible_host
uberHost is always getting set to null 
ansible_host is defined and set to null even when it's not present in the 
inventory file
I haven't figured out how to test to see if ansible_host is null in a when 
clause.

[ansible-project] Using ansible to upgrade ansible in envronment with restrictive umask

[Michael Baydoun]

We install ansible via pip
We can't use the ansible pip module to ensure the desired version is 
installed, as the restrictive umask breaks the permissions on the ansible 
files in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages 
The pip module does not allow us to override the umask

We can use the shell module to elevate to root, change the umask, and pip 
install the desired version however, we can't write that shell command to 
be idempotent. 
The desired version right now is 2.0.0.0-1 but ansible --version and pip 
show both return 2.0.0.0 as the current version when 2.0.0.0-1 is installed

suggestions?  We don't have any access to production so the upgrade must be 
automated via ansible code

[ansible-project] In 2.0, when is the inventory read and the special "groups" variable populated?

[Michael Baydoun]

Our playbooks set facts similar to

- name: illustrate problem
  set_fact:
monitoringServer: "{{ groups.nagios.0 }}"

In 1.9.x that would evaluate to the first server in the nagios group in 
inventory
In 2.0, groups doesn't contain a value for nagios, or any other inventory 
group.  It only contains "all" and "ungrouped", both of which contain 
localhost.

In our site.yml we include a number of playbooks like so

- include: coolapp.yml
  when: groups.coolapp is defined

This allows our code to not fail if the production coolapp server hasn't 
been built yet.

Now in 2.0, these includes are all being skipped

"skipping playbook include 'coolapp.yml' due to conditional test failure"

Even running with - doesn't supply any additional information

Obviously we need to change our design for 2.0.  Suggestions?

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Slow fact gathering or slow winrm on windows hosts

[Michael Baydoun]

All servers are local in this building.  Will look at increasing forks even
more than we already have, though limited in what we can do until 2.0 is
released and allows for per task serial values.

[ansible-project] Slow fact gathering or slow winrm on windows hosts

[Michael Baydoun]

A few of our windows hosts take 20-30 seconds to gather facts, and that's 
the good news.  The other hosts take > 1 minute just to gather facts.  
When run with -, it appears to me that every winrm step just takes a 
long time.

Has anyone run into this?  Suggestions?  Adding each windows host to our 
inventory is causing painful increases in site.yml run time.
Note: running ansible 1.9.2, and hoping 2.0 will improve the situation when 
it's released

I wrote a test to gather run times for fact gathering, results for windows 
hosts below (with hostnames removed)

actually, if I set serial to 1 the first task which has a run_once ends up 
running multiple times, which breaks the playbook

[ansible-project] read multiple variables from dynamically generated file

[Michael Baydoun]

I have a playbook that runs on all database servers, gathers information 
about every database found, does error checking and eliminated duplicates 
(same db on mulitple servers).  The result is an output file that contains 
three fields for every database "DBNAME SCRIPTNAME HOSTNAME"

Next I want to read every line in that local file, connect to only those 
hosts specified, and run the script providing the dbname as an argument. 
 How can I read that dynamic local file and populated multiple variables 
for additional use?

Example file
ProdDB script1.sh host1
DevDB script47.sh host4

I want to do something like this

  - name: retrieve tablespace data 
shell: /path/{{ scriptname }} {{ dbname }}
delegate_to: {{ hostname }}
with items from file local.generated where field 1 is dbname, field 2 
is scriptname, and field 3 is hostname
register: tablespace_data

whether or not I use delegate_to, or call another playbook with extra vars, 
I still need to populate variables based on their position in a 1-n row 
text file.  Any ideas how I can pull something like that off?

Because an application is making changes to other parts of the file, and

I need to add 10 lines to the middle of a file where the rest of the file 
is dynamic. Since it’s dynamic I need to use something like lineinfile. 
 I’d rather not invoke lineinfile 10 times as that seems messy.

If I debug all of secondvar I can see the output I want, and it looks like
it should be contained in secondvar.results.stdout, but if I try to debug
seconvar.results.stdout I only get

"secondvar.results.stdout": "{{ secondvar.results.stdout }}"

[ansible-project] Inserting an entire block of configuration using lineinfile

[Michael Baydoun]

I need to insert many lines of configuration and must use lineinfile or 
something similar.
The particular application in question also writes changes over time to 
other parts of the same file.

What is the best, cleanest way to accomplish this?
Is there a solution other than to string a bunch of lineinfile modules 
together?

Re: [ansible-project] refactor help needed

[Michael Baydoun]

I previous tried to define the array at the begining of the playbook in the 
vars section, but it only accepts key/value pairs, not an array.  Maybe my 
syntax was incorrect.  Is there an example of an array being defined in the 
vars section somewhere?

yes, I want to specify the array of directories 1 time in 1 place, and not 
repeat and maintain multiple identical arrays.
after the infile module for example, I want to use the shell module to run 
a git command in each directory

[ansible-project] with_nested for across multiple modules

[Michael Baydoun]

I'm doing something like this

  tasks:

- lineinfile: dest={{ item[0] }}/.gitignore create=yes regexp='{{ 
item[1] }}' line='*.{{ item[1] }}'

  with_nested:

- [ '/tmp/foo', '/tmp/bar' ]

- [ 'lck', 'log', 'Log' ]


but then I want to do other operations on the same list of directories 
(item[0]).  

the vars section will only take key/value pairs, not arrays.

Can I group with_nested so it's specified once but apply to multiple 
modules?

Or pre build an array that will work with_items or with_nested?
