[ansible-project] Getting vars using AWS dynamic inventory plugin

[Rob White]

I want to set some static vars alongside my AWS inventory plugin config but 
I can't find any doc.  Maybe this isn't supported or maybe my syntax is 
incorrect.

plugin: aws_ec2
iam_role_arn: arn:aws:iam::1234567890:role/assumed-ansible
regions:
  - ap-southeast-1
hostnames:
  - ip-address
strict_permissions: False
strict: False
keyed_groups:
  - prefix: tag
key: tags

all:
  vars:
aws_account_name: myaccount

With a simple playbook to just output aws_account_name it always fails 
with...

'aws_account_name' is undefined

I've also tried the AWS group name like

aws_ec2:
  vars:
aws_account_name: myaccount

but that doesn't work either

Re: [ansible-project] Working around lookup plugin limitation with environment variables

[Rob White]

The problem is it is the ansible-playbook that is actually going off to get 
the STS creds using sts_assume_role module so until i run the play, i don't 
have the creds.

I guess I could invoke a playbook from within another playbook :|

Re: [ansible-project] Working around lookup plugin limitation with environment variables

[Rob White]

Indeed, hence why it doesn't work.

Is there any other way to pass an environment variable to a lookup plugin?

The only thing I've come up with is a not very elegant:

lookup('pipe', '(export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=' + assumed_role.sts_creds.access_key 
+ ' && export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=' + assumed_role.sts_creds.secret_key + ' 
&& export AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN=' + assumed_role.sts_creds.session_token + ' 
&& credstash -r ' + aws_region + ' -t ' + env + '-credstash get 
rds_instance_mysql-1_username)')

This then fails when I am not using STS.

[ansible-project] Working around lookup plugin limitation with environment variables

[Rob White]

Hi all,

I'm looking for any suggestions on how to work around the following issue:

I am trying to use a lookup plugin but it is ignoring my environment 
variables.

The lookup plugin I am trying to use is credstash and the environment 
variables are being set because I am using AWS STS to assume a role.

It looks a little like this:

---
- name: Get STS token
  hosts: "{{ hosts }}"
  connection: local
  tasks:
- name: Assume role for passed account
  sts_assume_role:
region: "{{ aws_region }}"
role_arn: "arn:aws:iam::{{ aws_account_id }}:role/ansible-is_assumed"
role_session_name: ansible_assumed_role
  register: assumed_role
  when: use_sts

- name: Set environment with AWS creds when available
  set_fact:
my_environment:
  AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: "{{ assumed_role.sts_creds.access_key }}"
  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: "{{ assumed_role.sts_creds.secret_key }}"
  AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN: "{{ assumed_role.sts_creds.session_token }}"
  when: assumed_role.skipped is not defined

- name: Set environment blank when no AWS creds
  set_fact:
my_environment: {}
  when: assumed_role.skipped is defined

- name: Deploy infrastructure role
  hosts: "{{ hosts }}"
  connection: local
  roles:
- "{{ role_to_deploy }}"
  environment: "{{ my_environment }}"



Now in the role_to_deploy i have lots of tasks that work brilliantly 
calling out to AWS using the STS credentials supplied as intended.

Unfortunately, any lookup plugins do not work properly because they do not 
use the environment variables I have set.  They end up calling out to AWS 
using the default credentials rather than being overridden by the STS creds.

I don't think this is a bug but it is never the less annoying.

I'm hoping maybe one of the core team can think of a way I can get the 
lookup plugin to 'see' my STS environment variables I have set.

[ansible-project] Error running module out of 'library' with Ansible 2.2.0 from epel

[Rob White]

I have installed Ansible 2.2.0 from epel on an Amazon Linux image.

I have created a 'library' directory in /etc/ansible and added my own 
custom module.  Actually the module is iam_role.py that has already been 
merged to Ansible but not yet available until 2.3.

When running my playbook i get the following error when it gets to the 
iam_role task:

 
An exception occurred during task execution. The full traceback is:

I've noticed that my /usr/bin/ansible has a hash bang of 
/usr/bin/python2.6.  My python alternatives is pointing to 2.7.  I have 
tried changing to 2.6 to no avail.

I also think it's weird that in the stack trace above, everything is using 
/usr/lib right up until the end when ast.py is in /usr/lib64.  Maybe that's 
normal.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?

[ansible-project] Re: Ansible 2.0 parameter escaping problem

[Rob White]

After much base64 decoding of Powershell commands the following will work:

raw:

  C:\Temp\db_scripts\copy_db_file.ps1 "{{ system_db_default_location 
}}/master.mdf" "{{ system_db_master_mdf_location }}/master.mdf"

I removed the PowerShell call at the beginning, unquoted the script path 
and then removed the escaping slash \ before the quotation marks around the 
arguments.

Hopefully this will help somebody!

[ansible-project] Re: ec2 mudoles can't create ec2 instances

[Rob White]

Ansible gets its regions using the boto module regions call.  E.g. for ec2 
= http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#boto.ec2.regions

Double check your boto version.

[ansible-project] Ansible 2.0 parameter escaping problem

[Rob White]

I've starting seeing the following problem since I upgraded to Ansible v2.0

Here's the task:

raw:

 PowerShell "C:\Temp\db_scripts\copy_db_file.ps1" \"{{ 
system_db_default_location }}/master.mdf\" \"{{ 
system_db_master_mdf_location }}/master.mdf\"

It used to work fine in Ansible 1.9 but now I get a PowerShell error:

"stderr": "The string is missing the terminator: \".\r\n+ CategoryInfo  
: ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordEx \r\n   
ception\r\n+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 
TerminatorExpectedAtEndOfString\r\n \r\n"



This is obviously something to do with the way Ansible has changed how it 
handles escaped characters but I've tried a number of other different 
options for escaping my task and i can't get it to work.


I appreciate any suggestions.

Re: [ansible-project] Is there a way to access the host index in a group? I.e. want number in the hosts group am i?

[Rob White]

Unfortunately not.  I'm not iterating over a list.  Ansible is just making 
it's way through a group of hosts so i need Ansible to tell me which host 
it is operating on.

[ansible-project] Is there a way to access the host index in a group? I.e. want number in the hosts group am i?

[Rob White]

I'm sure this must've come up before but I couldn't find an answer.

I have a list of hosts in a group.  I want to write an index number on each 
of those hosts in a file.  E.g. the first host has a file that contains 1, 
the second host has a file that contains 2 etc.

Now I know I can access the hosts using the groups variable E.g. 
groups["mygroup"] but i can't find any reference to an index so the host 
can find out which number it is.

Example play

...

- name: Add instance to new host group

  add_host:

name: "{{ item }}"

group: zk

  with_items:

- server1

- server2

- server3


- name: deploy to zk group

  hosts: zk

  tasks:

- name: write a myid file based on the position in the group

  copy: 

content: {{ some_magic_variable?? }}

dest: /zookeeper-data/myid



In the above server i would expect to end up with three servers each with a 
myid file that contains 0, 1 or 2


Anyone know if that magic variable exists?

[ansible-project] Re: ec2_facts and Windows

[Rob White]

When running against windows hosts, Ansible will only find modules that have a 
.ps1 prefix. ec2_facts is a Linux only module. 

I'm actually working on aa windows version at the moment and will hopefully 
submit a PR in the next week or so.

[ansible-project] Re: Creating new list from values in list of dicts

[Rob White]

So I wrote my own filter for this...

def idfromlistofdicts(l):
result = []
for item in l:
result.append(item['id'])


return result


class FilterModule(object):
def filters(self):
return {
'idfromlistofdicts': idfromlistofdicts,
}


Not sure if something like this already exists though.

[ansible-project] Creating new list from values in list of dicts

[Rob White]

Hi all,

I am using the ec2_vpc_subnet_facts module to get back a list of subnet 
dicts.  I want to get the id from each of these dicts and add it to a new 
list so i end up with just a list of subnet ids.  I thought this might be 
possible with existing jinja filters but i'm not sure where to start so any 
pointers would be appreciated.

Example:

'subnets': [{u'availability_zone': u'ap-southeast-2a', u'tags': {u'Type': 
u'public', u'Zone': u'a', u'Env': u'support', u'Name': 
u'support-public-a'}, u'default_for_az': u'false', u'state': u'available', 
u'vpc_id': u'vpc-11223344', u'cidr_block': u'10.66.128.0/25', 
u'available_ip_address_count': 113, u'id': u'subnet-11223344', 
u'map_public_ip_on_launch': u'false'}, {u'availability_zone': 
u'ap-southeast-2b', u'tags': {u'Type': u'public', u'Zone': u'b', u'Env': 
u'support', u'Name': u'support-public-b'}, u'default_for_az': u'false', 
u'state': u'available', u'vpc_id': u'vpc-11223344', u'cidr_block': 
u'10.66.129.0/25', u'available_ip_address_count': 118, u'id': 
u'subnet-55667788', u'map_public_ip_on_launch': u'false'}]


I want to get each subnet.id in to a list so i end up with...

my_list: [subnet-11223344, subnet-55667788]

Thanks,

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Variables inside variables?

[Rob White]

If there is no moustache stacking does that mean variables inside variables 
is impossible?

I.e.

environments:
  prod:
vpc_id: 12345
  stg:
vpc_id: 67890
env: prod

debug: msg={{ 'environments.' + env + '.vpc_id' }}

This just gives me a string of 'environments.prod.vpc_id' but what I want 
is '12345'

[ansible-project] Using when: x in y if y is a list of dicts

[Rob White]

Hi guys,

I wonder if anyone knows if it's possible do use the 'in' clause with a 
list of dicts.

I have a list that looks like this:

[{u'state': None, u'id': u'i-233b31yy'}, {u'state': None, u'id': 
u'i-2a2281xx'}]

I want to add_host if an id is not in the list, something like:

vars:
  mylist:
- {u'state': None, u'id': u'i-233b31yy'}
- {u'state': None, u'id': u'i-2a2281xx'}
tasks:
  local_action:
module: add_host
name: "{{ ansible_ec2_local_ipv4 }}"
group: not_in_elb
  when: ansible_ec2_instance_id not in mylist

The above fails because the list items are dicts.  How can I just look at 
the id value of each dict in the list?

Re: [ansible-project] Re: create network interface (ENI) on EC2 instance? possible to use "raw" boto commands?

The module does support region. You should be able to specify it without
issue.

Can you get the subnet_id from the ec2_fact module?

Re: [ansible-project] Re: create network interface (ENI) on EC2 instance? possible to use "raw" boto commands?

[Rob White]

I assume you have referenced eni.interface.id because you've seen the
example? Note the code above that which contains a register statement. This
allows you to reference output from that command. See
http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_variables.html for more on that.

Once you've used that register command you can reference all the values of
the ENI creation.

If you're still having issues, post your playbook as it stands and any
errors you're getting.

Can you please give a full example of attaching an interface and setting
the delete_on_termination?
Not sure how to extract the eni.interface.id for the second.

Should I use it as part of a local_action, like I do for ec2_tag?

Sorry for the naive questions, I'm relativity new to Ansible.

Re: [ansible-project] Re: create network interface (ENI) on EC2 instance? possible to use "raw" boto commands?

[Rob White]

The latest commit has added support for delete_on_termination and
source_destination_check.  Please test and let me know how it goes.

If you'd like to leave any comments regarding the module, there's a PR here
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/410

Re: [ansible-project] Re: create network interface (ENI) on EC2 instance? possible to use "raw" boto commands?

[Rob White]

Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to create the interface with this
attribute. Boto doesn't support it. You'd have to create the interface and
then immediately modify it.

Would this be acceptable?

[ansible-project] Re: create network interface (ENI) on EC2 instance? possible to use "raw" boto commands?

[Rob White]

Hi guys,

Recently had this requirement myself.

I've written a module 
here 
https://github.com/wimnat/ansible-modules-extras/blob/feature/ec2_eni/cloud/amazon/ec2_eni.py

I'd appreciate testing / feedback and if all good I'll submit a PR to 
ansible-modules-extras

Thanks,

Re: [ansible-project] Passing a list on the command line

[Rob White]

Hmmm, this doesn't seem to work for the roles parameter.

I tried the following command:

ansible-playbook test.yml -i inventories/local -e 
'{"roles_to_deploy":["role1","role2"]}'

The test.yml playbook just had:

tasks:
- name: Debug
  debug: msg="{{ item }}"
  with_items:
"{{ roles_to_deploy }}"

All good.

I then tried the same command with my original playbook which has:

roles:
"{{ roles_to_deploy }}"

I get an error "ERROR: value of 'roles:' must be a list"

[ansible-project] Passing a list on the command line

[Rob White]

Is it possible to pass a list as an extra-vars variable on the command line?

I have tried various syntax but it doesn't work.

E.g.

ansible-playbook my_playbook.yml -i local --extra-vars 
roles_to_deploy=role1,role2
ansible-playbook my_playbook.yml -i local --extra-vars 
roles_to_deploy=[role1,role2]
ansible-playbook my_playbook.yml -i local --extra-vars 
roles_to_deploy=['role1','role2']

[ansible-project] Re: win_chocolatey not a legal parameter

[Rob White]

How are you defining your hosts?

You need to make sure the method is WinRM.  As Chris mentioned earlier in 
this thread, ansible will only recognize PowerShell modules when using 
winrm type.

[ansible-project] Re: win_chocolatey not a legal parameter

[Rob White]

If you look in your module directory (my machine it 
is /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/modules/extras/windows/) do you 
see a __init__.py file?

Re: [ansible-project] How to use ec2 modules user_data field?

[Rob White]

Hi Chris,

What's your approach for logging in to your Win boxes using WinRM after 
this step?

Ansible docs direct you to configure a vars file with ansible_ssh_pass set 
however every ec2 instance is going to have a different password.  I've 
created a module for using boto to get the ec2 password but i dont know how 
to chain this through to then use it for a following play which would 
configure my windows instances.

[Rob White]

Thanks!

I saw the file was already added to the devel branch.  I downloaded that 
branch and chocolatey module can now be called from playbook.

Thanks for the suggestion Ashley.

I have previously tried that structure but i still get the same error
complaining about win_chocolatey not being a legal parameter.

Re: [ansible-project] win_chocolatey not a legal parameter

[Rob White]

Nope, doesn't work.

My file structure is:

windows_playbook.yml
group_vars/windows
inventory/win

My playbook:
---
- name: Configure instance
  hosts: windows
  gather_facts: true
  tasks:
- name: Install common packages from chocolatey
  win_chocolatey: package=notepadplusplus state=present



group_vars/windows has:

ansible_ssh_user: administrator
ansible_ssh_pass: hidden
ansible_ssh_port: 5986
ansible_connection: winrm

inventory/win is simply:

[windows]
1.2.3.4

Output is always:

ERROR: win_chocolatey is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler

I've tried specifying variables at the command line.  I.e.

ansible-playbook hosts_windows.yml -i inventories/windows -u administrator 
-k -c winrm

It asks for the password then fails with the same error.

Again, this command works fine:

ansible -v windows -i inventories/windows -m win_chocolatey -c winrm -u 
administrator -k -a 'package=notepadplusplus'


Any further suggestions welcome :)

[ansible-project] Loops in loops for VPC creation

[Rob White]

I am trying to create a play that defines by VPC infrastructure.  I have a 
number of environments that are all set up in the same way but with 
different subnets.  I'm trying to loop over a dict for each environment and 
then within that loop, loop to create by cidr subnets.  However, it fails 
with an error "unsupported parameter for module: with_sequence".

I'm using the ipaddr custom filter.

I'm not sure quite how I would access my with_sequence item even if this 
did work.  Would it be item[1]?

My play is below...

---
- name: VPC infrastructure
  hosts: local
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
environments:
  prod:
vpc_cidr_block: 10.0.0.0/21
availability_zones: 2
  android:
vpc_cidr_block: 10.0.8.0/21
availability_zones: 2
  tasks:
- name: Create VPC
  local_action:
module: ec2_vpc
state: present
region: "{{ aws_region }}"
cidr_block: "{{ item.value.vpc_cidr_block }}"
subnets:
  - cidr: "{{ item.value.vpc_cidr_block | ipsubnet(24, 0) }}"
with_sequence: count={{ item.value.availability_zones }}
resource_tags: { "env": "{{ item.key }}" }
wait: yes
  with_dict: environments
  register: vpc


Any pointers appreciated.

[ansible-project] win_chocolatey not a legal parameter

[Rob White]

I'm having trouble with win_chocolatey module in a playbook.

I upgraded from 1.7 to 1.9 and then ran the following successfully:

ansible windows -i inventories/windows -m win_chocolatey -c winrm -u 
> administrator -k -a 'package=notepadplusplus'
> SSH password: 
> 1.2.3.4 | success >> {
> "changed": true, 
> "chocolatey command": "C:\\ProgramData\\chocolatey\\bin\\choco.exe 
> install notepadplusplus -source https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/";, 
> "chocolatey_success": "true"

}


So then I added to a playbook as per the documentation but I get the 
following error:

ansible-playbook hosts_windows.yml -i inventories/windows
> ERROR: win_chocolatey is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or 
> handler 


Why would ansible see the module, but ansible-playbook fail?
