Re: [ansible-project] creating RSA key with openssh_keypair

[Veera]

Yes  ,  We need a RSA format PEM key  which is compatible with the 
application . 
 Whenever a OPENSSH PRIVATE  Key generated with the playbook is used for 
authentication ,  login to the application  is working but its not  
functioning 100% as expected . 
When a RSA format PEM or id_rsa key ( ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048) is used  
then login and functioning of the application is working fine.  (vendor 
recommended RSA format SSH key)

[ansible-project] creating RSA key with openssh_keypair

[Veera]

Hi,

When I try to create ssh keypairs with  the 
module ansible.builtin.openssh_keypair , a new  key  pair is generated  as 
expected.

$ cat  test_key1.yml

However the public-key is showing the caption as ssh-rsa .. and the private 
key is displaying the  label as "-BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-  
and  -END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-"

I am looking  to create an rsa key-pairs with 2048b  ,  something we used 
to create with the command  ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
The private key must begin with "-BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-" and  ends 
with "-END RSA PRIVATE KEY-"

Is that possible with this module openssh_keypair ?

Hi  Todd Lewis,

Thanks . I am able to understand it . However the split happens based on 
',' , and then we remove the quotes with  map('map', 'trim')) and align the 
lines with range.
However assuming split with delimiter as comma,  when i try to replace 1 
with 0  the output is  [msg: "{{ range(my_var | length) | map('extract', 
(my_var | map('split', ',') | map('map', 'trim')), [0]) }}"]
 
ok: [localhost] =>
  msg:
  - line1 has
  - line2 has
  - line3 has

and when tried to add [0 1] in the  end  [msg: "{{ range(my_var | length) | 
map('extract', (my_var | map('split', ',') | map('map', 'trim')), [0 1]) 
}}"]
it printsok: [localhost] =>
  msg:
  - i
  - i
  - i
that is second character in the word line[0]. Is not the split breaks the 
words  with (',')?
How to print all the available column? instead of 1( yes the full  file 
without a comma now )
Actually I am trying to print like below

line1 has  color-red
line2 has  color-blue  
line3 has  color-orange

Hi  Todd Lewis,

Thanks . I am able to understand it . However the split happens based on 
',' , and then we remove the quotes with  map('map', 'trim')) and align the 
lines with range.
However assuming split with delimiter as comma,  when i try to replace 1 
with 0  the output is  [msg: "{{ range(my_var | length) | map('extract', 
(my_var | map('split', ',') | map('map', 'trim')), [1]) }}"]
 
ok: [localhost] =>
  msg:
  - line1 has
  - line2 has
  - line3 has

and when tried to add [0 1] in the  end  [msg: "{{ range(my_var | length) | 
map('extract', (my_var | map('split', ',') | map('map', 'trim')), [0 1]) 
}}"]
it printsok: [localhost] =>
  msg:
  - i
  - i
  - i
that is second character in the word line[0]. Is not the split breaks the 
words  with (',')?
How to print all the available column? instead of 1( yes the full  file

Actually I am trying to print like below
 line1 has  color-red
line2 has color-blue  
line3 has, color-orange

[ansible-project] Formatting multiple lines using variable as loop

[Veera]

I have a playbook variable output as below 


debug:
  msg: "{{my_var}}}"
  
TASK [debug] 
**
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
"line1 has , color-red, in  its   middle"
"line2 has,   color-blue,   in its middle"
"line3 has,  color-orange, in its middle"
]
}

I want to use the output lines as  an input for another variable using 
set_fact , as like below . 

  - name: Filtering  the color data  
ansible.builtin.set_fact:
  new_var: "{{ item.split(',')[1] }}"
loop: "{{ var1 }}"

and I am looking for the data like below
  color-red
  color-blue
  color-orange

 - debug: 
 var:  new_var
gives only color-red
 
 But my  var1 looping process the first line only in from the my_var and 
not the next 2 lines.
 This is an example and I may expect lines from my_var from 0 to 100's.

How to print the column[]of output) with multiple lines ??

[ansible-project] using extra-vars with list and dict

[Veera]

Hi,

I am missing the format of  input the extra-vars with multiple choices . 
In the playbook , I am passing 2 variables as extra vars  and they are 
working fine .

ansible-playbook myplaybook.yml -e "server_ip=10.100.100.100 
 host_names=myserver1_10.100.100.100"
   
   and able to execute my playbook successfully.  However when I have 
multiple IP's to feed in like below 
 
ansible-playbook myplaybook.yml -e "server_ip='10.100.100.100', 
'10.100.100.101' '10.100.100.10N' 
host_names='myserver1_10.100.100.100', 'myserver2_10.100.100.102',

   The playbook uses a temporary inventory  and looking to input the same

  ansible.builtin.add_host:

Two extra vars as lists to be passed  and  the items in extra_vars lists 
are to be processed 1+1 at a time . (ie .. the IP 10.100.100.105  must be 
processed  along with host_names=myserver105_10.100.100.105"

Re: [ansible-project] using a variable from one task in the next

[Veera]

Hi , 

 I am re-opening this thread as I get a new question on above the existing 
one.
Sorry  for that..(not lazy to open another)

Is there a way to use the output of play1 , which is a list(of variables) 
to be passed variable to the second play2
The playbook for illustration only .

---
- name: play 1
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  tasks: 
- name: task1 in play1
  shell: 'cat list_of_servers'
  register: task1_output
   
- set_fact:
server_list: "{{task1_output.stdout}}"

- name: print the servers collected
  debug: 
msg: "{{server_list}}"

- name: play 2  
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
- name: printing the smb.conf from the target servers
  debug: 
msg: "{{lookup('file', '/etc/samba/smb.conf')}}"

- name: printing the /etc/issue from the target servers
  debug: 
msg: "{{lookup('file', '/etc/issue')}}"


Let's assume that after  multiple tasks execution  in play1, I got a list 
of servers. (list exactly ... in set_fact)
server1
server11
server111


I want to use those variables as an input to the second play(play2).
Logically .. the second play must be executed with  (- e server1)   and 
after all the tasks in play2  executed .. it should re-run play2 with (-e 
server 11) and the loop should continue until the  server111.

Is it possible to pass the variables which are the output from play1 as an 
input variable to play with multiple tasks ?
On looping ., is there a way to repeat the play2(with all its  tasks) for 
the each listed item of the variables .. server1.. server11.. server111)


$ ap Untitled-2.yml

Re: [ansible-project] template for rows in a table

[Veera]

Hi  Vladimir,

Thanks . It helps to learn a lot.
Any recommended link to learn the jinja2 formatting?.

in btw,  the "cols" are printed as like below (not as [green, red, yellow, 
blue]).
 is  there ansible/jinja version conflict or I miss a bit?

- name: playbook to print the list as table
  hosts: localhost
  vars:
color:
  - green
  - red
  - yellow
  - blue
cities:
 - toronto
 - montreal
 - mumbai
 - dubai
lang:
 - English
 - French
 - Hindi
 - Arabic
fnames: [color, cities, lang]
cols: |
  {% filter from_yaml %}
  {% for i in fnames %}
  - {{ lookup('vars', i ) }}
  {% endfor %}
  {% endfilter %}
max: "{{ cols|map('map', 'length')|map('max') }}"
frmt: |
  {% filter from_yaml %}
  {% for i in max %}
  - '%-{{ i }}s '
  {% endfor %}
  {% endfilter %}


  tasks: 
- name: print the cols
  ansible.builtin.debug: 
msg: "{{cols}}"

- name: print the max
  ansible.builtin.debug: 
msg: "{{max}}"

- name: print the frmt
  ansible.builtin.debug: 
msg: "{{frmt}}"

- set_fact:
rows: "{{ rows|d(cols.0)|zip(item)|map('flatten') }}"
  loop: "{{ cols[1:] }}"

- name: print the frmt
  ansible.builtin.debug: 
msg: "{{rows}}"

And the output is as below

Re: [ansible-project] what is ansible.builtin.file vs just file module

[Veera]

In FCQN , "builtin" exists for only ansible's builtin(native) modules .
We have other  modules too from community or vendors ..

Re: [ansible-project] split for data manitpulation

Hi  Vladimir ,

I got it by using the  join  -  s1_34: "{{ [[1], [3, 4]]| map('map', 
'extract', arr)| join(',')}

Re: [ansible-project] split for data manitpulation

[Veera]

Hi Todd,

Is there a way to combine the 2 positional  values .

 "{{ [2, 4, 5] | map('extract', myline.split(',')) }}" 
as 
 "{{ [2, 4 5] | map('extract', myline.split(',')) }}" 
  to print  like below
  - two
 -  four five

I tried to combine .. but missing a bit
 "{{ [2, combine [4 5] | map('extract', myline.split(',')) }}" or  printing 
"two" as  a item and  "{{ [4 5] | map('extract', myline.split(',')) 
|combine }}"

or a different filter instead of combine can help?

[ansible-project] Formatting the dict items with debug

[Veera]

Hi,

I have the below output  from my playbook using 
- debug:
msg: "{{ result.stdout }}"

TASK [debug] 
**
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"access_token": "xx",
"expires_in": 43200,
"token_type": "xx"
}
}


 and  when I tried to filter the access token alone  , with map   by
"{{ result.stdout | map('extract', access_token) }}" ., it errors as below

The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 
'access_token' is  undefined\n\n 

and  when I tried to filter the access token alone  , with map   by
 msg: "{{ result.stdout | map(attribute='access_token') }}" ., it errors as 
below

What I am missing here  to get the desired output  here?

[ansible-project] Using multiple variables with Assert

[Veera]

Hi,

I am trying with the first task of the playbook with assert module to 
validate the supported versions. If Assert is success, then only the next 
tasks will be executed .

- name: Playbook to test the conditional
  hosts: localhost
  vars:
 rhel_ver:
   - 9
   - 8
   - 7
centos_ver:
- 8
- 7  
  tasks:
  - name: Check the OS version and proceed based on the OS
ansible.builtin.assert:
that:
- ansible_distribution == "CentOS" and 
ansible_distribution_major_version == "{{ centos_ver }}"
- ansible_distribution == "RedHat" and 
ansible_distribution_major_version == "{{ rhel_ver }}"
   fail_msg: "Unsupported OS version. Exiting . "
   success_msg: "Supported OS version and proceeding to next task"

   - debug:
 msg: "Completed"

The Asset have to be Success with multiple conditions .. If either the 
distribution is RedHat or CentOS(not both conditions need to be true)  and 
the major version is atleast one of the value from the variables(of its OS 
distro).

yes.  Exactly .. 
I did set_fact on a remote_host and try to re-call  the value of the  
variable  in the localhost.


*So to access in the 2nd play you need to go through 
hostvars:{{hostvasr['server1']['reg_name']*

Do you mean I have to use like below?

- name: print  the collected hostname
  debug:
 msg: "{{hostvars['server1']['reg_name'] }}"

[ansible-project] using a variable from one task in the next

[Veera]

I have a 2 tasks in a playbook and from task1  I have  a variable collected 
from the register output as below.

- name: Playbook to collect the actual hostname 
  hosts: server1
  become: yes
  tasks:
- name: collect the actual hostname
  shell: 'hostname'
  register: short_name
 
- name: collect the hostname for the next task
  set_fact: 
reg_name: "{{ short_name.stdout_lines[-1].split('.')[1] }}"


- name: Playbook to test the new hostname collections 
  hosts: 127.0.0.1
  become: yes
  tasks:
- name: print  the collected hostname
  debug:
msg: {{reg_name  }}

 collecting  the host's shortname using set_fact is  working .  However the 
data stored using set_fact in reg_name is  not carry to the next task. 
Is there an option/module available to have the variable from one task to 
be made available to the next?

Re: [ansible-project] Formatting the output by line by line

[Veera]

Got a better output when added  *stdout_callback = yaml*  to the ansible.cfg
However the output lengthy line remains the same .  

No luck when tried to split() also . It has multiple  sub-elements  which 
is making it complex . 

As mentioned initially , I need to break the output  like below.

Extension Message: Patching Successful. 
[ActivityId=xxx-1f8f-4e44-95af-]
OperationResult: activityId: xxx-1f8f-4e44-95af-

Re: [ansible-project] Formatting the output by line by line

[Veera]

By adding  *stdout_callback = yaml  *anisble.cfg .,  I get better formatted 
syntax.
But I am unable to split the lengthy single line.

unable to either convert to lists or split the line to grep and cut the  
words(strings) from the output.  
The content have multiple sub-elements .

As mentioned initially ,  I have to print a few dict items from the 
lengthy  like below .

[ansible-project] split for data manitpulation

[Veera]

Hi,

I have this playbook to print the columns  5 and 6 using the debug.

---
- name: playbook to print columns
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
myline: This line is a test, two, three, four, five, 6, seven 
  tasks:
- name: play to  print
  debug:
msg: 
  - "{{ myline.split(',')[5] }}"
  - "{{ myline.split(',')[6] }}"

It prints the details , But is there a way to print the columns  4,7 and 11 
with a single split option. (instead of listing under msg: )

 - name: play to  print
  debug:
msg:  "{{ myline.split(',')[4][7][11] }}"

Do split accepts only one square bracket[] parameter?

Re: [ansible-project] Formatting the output by line by line

my ansible.cfg is a custom one which I am using from the same location and 
it has no more specific lines to format.

$ansible --version | grep 'ansible.cfg'
  config file = /home/myuser/ansible/ansible.cfg
$pwd
/home/myuser/ansible/
$ cat ansible.cfg

inventory = ./inventory

 Sorry ... No *ansible.cfg*  involved.
After multiple filtering  of (the output) I  reached to this output. 
I want to enhance it further .

[ansible-project] uri post to avoid duplicate

[Veera]

Hi ,

I have the below uri module to post the details inside the web api

- name: REST POST Example
  uri:
url: "{{ webapp_url }}/api/orgs"
method: POST
return_content: yes
body: "{ \"name\": \"{{ project_name }}\" }"
body_format: json
validate_certs: no
user: "{{ user }}"
password: "{{ password }}"
force_basic_auth: yes

while passing the variables as 
ansible-playbook myplay.yml  -e "project_name=first_project"  
n- number of times it works and overwrites the same first_project name.

Is there an option available to stop overwriting if the same project_name 
is  available with uri module? 
Or we have to use the GET method  to collect and compare the existing 
project_name , before writing using POST? or will  a conditional check can 
help ?

Re: [ansible-project] reading the key file contents

[Veera]

Hi all,

Thanks for the valuable inputs and directions . 
I was looking for a new approach which I was failing and you all confirmed 
the best and secure way is to have the key as a file with  appropriate 
permissions .  I will be proceeding with the same setup which I already 
have ..

[ansible-project] reading the key file contents

[Veera]

In a playbook , I gathered the user key into the variable "user_key"  and 
using a add_host module to login to the server and execute the required  
tasks .

- name: Writing the key to a file 
  ansible.builtin.copy:
content: "{{ user_key }}"
dest: /tmp/new_inst.pem
mode: '0600'
follow: yes
  register: keyfile


- name:  create a temp inventory
  ansible.builtin.add_host:
hostname: '{{ servera }}'
groups: mygroup
ansible_ssh_private_key_file: "{{ keyfile.dest }}"
ansible_ssh_user: "root"
ansible_ssh_extra_args: '-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

- name: validate the httpd in new hosts
  hosts: mygroup
  gather_facts: true
  become: yes
  environment:
ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING: "False"
  tasks:
- name: Start service httpd, if not started
  service:
name: httpd
   state: started
   
All works fine  using the above.
However is there an option to read the  content of the key directly , read 
the contents of the keyfile to the  add_host  module  with something like 
"ansible_ssh_private_key" ??
I want to avoid writing the key to a file, chmod 600 and then  remove it 
after execution.

Also ,  is there a  way to  read the variable "user_key"   when manually 
feed during the  ansible-playbook command , like  for the same above codes 
usage .

# ansible-playbook playbook -e "user_key={{ssh_content}}"
where  ssh_contentis a python variable which  have the  exact key_value 
details from another  program output .

[ansible-project] Executing ansible through SSH

[Veera]

Hi ,

I have 3 servers serverA ,serverB , and serverC.
>From serverA , I am trying to execute the playbook on serverB  which is the 
control node(Where ansible is available).

The playbook when run from serverB(login with ssh) with executing as below 
works fine and got the expected output. 
 
# export ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False 
# ansible-playbook /home/ansible/playbook1.yml --limit serverC  --key-file 
/home/ansible/priv_key.file

The playbook has "become: true" 

>From ServerA ,  I am executing the  below command using a bash script and 
the script works. But the execution is not happening 

#!/bin/bash
ssh   -i  .ssh/serverb_key  root@serverB  "export 
ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False; ansible-playbook 
 /home/ansible/playbook1.yml --limit serverC  --key-file 
/home/ansible/priv_key.file"

The requirement is  to initiate the script from serverA  -  which will 
execute the playbook in serverB and do the changes in serverC. 
 I even try with the "&" at the end to execute the ansible-playbook in the 
background ..but still the same result.  ""export 
ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False; ansible-playbook 
 /home/ansible/playbook1.yml --limit serverC  --key-file 
/home/ansible/priv_key.file &"

[ansible-project] Filtering_data manipulation

[Veera]

While collecting the inventory from a dynamic source , I am able to  filter 
the hostname and print them as below as expected.

servera
serverb
serverc
serverd

when set to facts with set_fact  also fine  and print in the order one 
below the other.
However when I try to write into a file with copy module , 
 
- name:  Write to the file 
  ansible.builtin.copy:
content: "{{ result['json']['value'] |map(attribute='hostname') }}"
dest: "{{my_inv}}" 

the format collapses as below.
'servera',  'serverb', 'serverc', 'serverd'

How can I write the  output  in the list format(line by line)  as  this 
file will be used to read  as an inventory for other tasks .

Thanks Todd,  

It worked and  Yes I  could have referred the doc status_code 
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/uri_module.html#parameter-status_code>
  in 
depth  .

[ansible-project] handling error codes

[Veera]

Hi ,

I have a playbook  with the  below lines .

$ cat double_check.yml
---
- name: playbook to test the status of the web
  hosts: centos8-latest
  tasks:
- block:
- name: Install the  httpd packages
  ansible.builtin.yum:
name: httpd
state: latest

- name: Enable and Start the httpd service
  ansible.builtin.service:
name: httpd
state: started
enabled: true

- name: Check web site from web server
  ansible.builtin.uri:
url: http://{{ ansible_fqdn }}
return_content: true
status_code: 200
  register: example_webpage
  failed_when: example_webpage.status != 200



  rescue:
- name: Restart web server
  ansible.builtin.service:
name: httpd
state: restarted

#we still can have handlers to  demo this playbook  

This Playbook works as expected  until  the status code is 200.
[user@centos8-latest html]$ ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104 Jul 28 10:36 index.html
[user@centos8-latest html]#

If there is no index.html , CentOS/redhat  shows its  apache foundation 
page which is returning a different  status code[409 ] . which is causing 
the task to fail .

I am expecting  the Status Code 200  [success] ,  409[already running] and 
404/others[failed]
How can we handle this error?  Ignore_error=yes  is not required.
If  Status Code = 200 , then no change required . ( a handler to be called  
after that )
if status code=409 , it should pass and still continue to next task (if 
added). (no handler to be called  )
other codes/404 can fail.


Is there an option to declare "status code =200 or 409 "in the single line?
Or we have to  handle them with 2 different play ? possible ?

[ansible-project] Variable to be selected from the options

[Veera]

Hi,

I have the below variable defined  in my playbook.
reboot_option: 
- IfRequired
- Never
 - Always

while calling the same  variable from the playbook ,   the value 
"IfRequired'  must be the default.
 "rebootSetting": "{{ reboot_option | default(Ifrequired) }}" 

While executing the playbook without extra-vars reboot_option then by 
"ifrequired " need to the default,.
If the playbook is executed with -e "reboot_option=Never" or "Always"  then 
it should select the given option.

how to call the dictionary items with default as "Ifrequired"? 
Or I have to declare  the variables in a different way ?

[ansible-project] lineinfile module to replace a string

[Veera]

Hi,

I am trying to replace a  line/string   in a 224   lines file .
Trying with replace and lineinfile module  , but seems i am missing a bit..

below is the string to consider:

logging.files:
  # Configure the path where the logs are written. The default is the logs 
directory
  # under the home path (the binary location).
  path: /var/log/original
.
Here I want to replace the " /var/log/original"  to " /var/log/newfile"  
and I have to search based on the string "logging.files:"  which is 3 lines 
above.  



*- name: Configuring the inputs for the filereplace:path: 
/etc/myagent/myfile*
*after: 'logging.files:'here  i want to search 4th  line below the 
match.. similar to grep -A3)*


*regexp: ' path: /var/log/original 'replace: " path: 
/var/log/newfile  "*

* I have multiple lines with similar entries and I cannot replace directly 
(based on first match too)*

[ansible-project] Calling the inventory created by first task to the second one

[Veera]

Hi,

I have a  playbook book with 2 tasks in it .
In the first tasks, I have playbooks to create a VM  and  build OS  on it  
and  able to login  to the VM manually (for testing)  , and the final play 
creates a temporary  inventory file like below.

[dev-vm1]
mytestvm1 ansible_ssh_private_key_file: mykey.pem   ansible_ssh_user: 
"root" ansible_ssh_extra_args: '-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

the second tasks has a bunch of plays which needs to login to the 
mytestvm1(using the temp inventory file)above and execute  .

I have a main.yml like this 

- name: main.play
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
  play1:
  play2:
  play3

- hosts:  dev-vm1
  become: true 
  gather_facts: true 
  tasks: 
   play1:
   play2:
   play2

I don't want to 
   - split them into 2 separate  playbooks
- run with  -i inventory file 

want to pass the inventory directly to be processed by the second play ...

[ansible-project] Formatting with set_fact

[Veera]

Hi, 

While using set_facts , I am combining a hostname and dns name .
myhost = linuxhost1
mydns = example.com.

while  combining them  with set_fact 

ansible.builtin.set_fact:
   my_fqdn:  "{{myhost}}.{{mydns}}"
  
This gives the desired output of "linuxhost1.example.com." 
The last dot can be cut with [:-1] with debug , however I want to set this 
in set_fact itself as I am trying to write the FQDN without a dot to the 
inventory file.

However I  got the result by writing it into a file , replace the string, 
read the required lines and then deleted the file ..

Re: [ansible-project] Formatting in debug

[Veera]

yes...  I was using set_fact and the output shown above is  the debug 
output of the set_fact.

Still to fetch the URL alone from the output(debug) of the set_fact ,  and 
to set it as a new variable( using set_fact) ... which is what i am looking 
for ..

Hi,

No  STDOUT  or stdout_lines present.  After "msg" the output has only one 
line inside a {} .

[ansible-project] Formatting in debug

Hello,

While i try to  grep/cut the url from my below debug output , I am unable 
to get the exact output.  I tried with split, dict2items ,item2dicts  to 
break it and grep the exact line . 

TASK [debug] 
*
Monday 15 May 2023  09:10:06 +0300 (0:00:00.027)   0:00:02.906

 I need only the  string "https://mydomain.net:9001/v3";
from the above debug output as a variable for my next play .

[ansible-project] Re: printing the items on dictionary format

[Veera]

Thanks Todd,

It works . 

"Not sure what you're trying to do with subelements."   -  I want to avoid 
 printing messages of  other dict items ( asia) from vars  during the 
execution (in the  skipping), which prints some sensitive info on the 
screen.  
Turning on no_log  is not helpful in registering the output. 
So , I was trying to call only the variables under n_america when I 
 execute the task  and i got it .  However for now skipping shows the items 
from asia during the play .

Re: [ansible-project] printing the items on dictionary format

[Veera]

Thanks .. You mean with the "loop" enabled .. It did not work in both modes.

I am looking for a way so that this particular play will process  the 
variables(items) under *n_america   in *
*vars_files : *
*- vars/myvars.yml*

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

[Veera]

Yes.. I uses  Ubuntu 22 . but when executed manually source exists.
Failing when called through the  playbook with the mentioned error. 

@ToddWill  it exists until the next play executes in the same playbook 
?  
 I required  the processed source variables for the next 
play(only ) .

[ansible-project] read password from a variable

[Veera]

While sourcing a  profile file , I have to enter a password  in my play.

*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 ?

[ansible-project] split with multiple columns in debug

[Veera]

Hi,

When I try to split the output of uptime to capture the "load average from 
the below line

$ uptime
 18:37:01 up 5 days,  4:37,  2 users,  load average: 0.02, 0.05, 0.00

using the below playbook 

---
- name: uptime_collect22
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
- name:  register the uptime
  shell: "uptime"
  register: up_out

- set_fact:
#load_avg: "{{ up_out.stdout_lines[0].split()[[7],[8],[9],[10]] }}"
load_avg: "{{ up_out.stdout_lines[0].split()[7] }}"

- name: print the load average
  debug:
var: load_avg

when i execute i got the output debug as 
TASK [print the   load average  ] 
***
ok: [my-client-2] => {
"load_avg": "load"
}

I can split the stdout lines . How can I split/print with  multiple columns 
similar to awk '{print $7,$8,$9,$10}'  .?
Expected output:  "load average: 0.02, 0.05, 0.00"  

I can achieve it with shell module with uptime |awk '{print $8,$9,$10, $11, 
$12}'
However I want to check the  ansible filtering and split

Re: [ansible-project] Playbook skips the debug for no reason

[Veera]

Thanks  .. I have set the indent right and it was working .
Actucally i tried various verbosity level and indent  in the debug module , 
which was not helping .

However , in future I will avoid bringing in atleast  indent releated 
issues here ..

[ansible-project] Playbook skips the debug for no reason

[Veera]

Hi,

I am not sure why the playbook skips the debug to print the output.
Am i missing some thing ?

[ansible-project] Prompt option listing all the servers in inventory

[Veera]

Hi ,

I am trying to confirm the hosts which are selected for the  execution  
with the prompt option.  However I am prompted with all the servers in my 
inventory .(not sure how it pulls , may be *ansible_play_batch)*

Help me on what i am missing?

*- name: Playbook to update the package in the given list of servers*















*  hosts: server1  gather_facts: no  vars_files:- 
vars/postcheck_vars.yml  vars_prompt: - name: confirm  the below list 
of servers are part of patching for the given wave   prompt: >-
 You have selected  {{ ansible_play_batch }} . Do you want to continue? 
Press y  tasks:- name: Waiting for confirmation  fail:  when: 
confirm.lower() != 'y'*



*If i replace server1  with  group1 , all the servers in the group has to 
be listed(prompted) before the execution of the play . *

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

[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 ?

Second, mustaches (i.e. "{{" … "}}") never nest  <<  Yes , I tried earlier 
that and even now after reverting back , still the same issue ..

Re: [ansible-project] yum module to skip checking the yum repositories

[Veera]

Thanks ,, I already checked the link anddisable_plugin . Both are not 
helpful .
I will have to use  command/shell -  module to call rpm  to install the  
local package

[ansible-project] yum module to skip checking the yum repositories

[Veera]

Hi,

I have the below snippet , which installs the local package . However in 
servers which have not subscribed to  satellite/Redhat , the  playbook 
hungs as it continue to search for the  repositories in the backgroud.

- name: Installing the  local rpm rpm packages in the server 
yum:
  name: /tmp/-2.3.2.2105-1.x86_64.rpm
  state: present
  disable_gpg_check: yes
ignore_errors: true
register: result_t1
tags: install_localpackage

In yum module , there is no exact option to skip looking  into  the yum  
repositories or cache , to override this step.  
Is there any  option available in yum to skip looking into yum or have to 
write a bash script with "rpm -i " to replace it ?

[ansible-project] print the register output with proper format on the screen

[Veera]

Hi everyone ,

I am trying to   print 2  files in my ansible server itself, which are 
already copied from other servers ,  which means the filenames have 
hostnames and date within it.

- name: compare the output files 
 local_action:  command  /usr/bin/sdiff   "{{ logs_dir }}"/{{ 
inventory_hostname }}-Precheck-{{ ansible_date_time.date }}.txt "{{ 
logs_dir }}"/{{ inventory_hostname }}-Postcheck-{{ansible_date_time.date 
}}.txt
register: result

- debug:
  var:  result.output

I am able to print the output I expected ..but it collapses   than expected.
Is there a way to Print them as like as in a linux bash"  # diff file1 
file2 "

redirecting the output to a file and printing is also  helping

[ansible-project] reading a log file with hostname in the playbook processed

[Veera]

I am trying to   create a log  file   with hostname with  it by using the 
shell  variable and not from {{  ansible_hostname }} , as I have my 
playbooks have gather_facts  disabled.

Unable to fetch the source file as ansible is  unable to get the exact file 
in src.?

what need to be changed for the line  "src: /var/tmp/patchreport_$(hostname 
-s)_$(date +%F) "


- name: myplay
  hosts: myhost5
  remote_user: root
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:

Re: [ansible-project] playbook without hosts desribed

[Veera]

Hi kai,

Thanks for the  inputs.

"for security reasons".   - I mean that we have disabled gather_facts for 
better  performance.  And we want other users to play the playbook with  
access to the same inventory .
I am looking for a way to avoid them  running "ansible-playbook pb.yml -e 
myvar=all"and to always  use "myvar=hostname."

is there a way to stop  a particular user to stop using " myvar=all" based 
on inventory  or other modes?

[ansible-project] playbooks with no gatherfacts and using fqdn

[Veera]

Hi ,

I  am trying to create a logfile with the hostname and date . 
 But due to  some Infra limitations I have to disable the gather facts.


- name: collect report 
  ignore_errors: yes
  shell: grep "`date '+%b.%d'`" /var/log/yum.log > /home/devops/
patchreport_$(date +%F)
  register: updated

 

Is there a way I can use the hostname or the IP which the  ansible play 
uses  for execution . I  am looking for a file name to be created with /home
/devops/severname_$(date +%F).
As gather_facts are disabled , {{ andible_fqdn }} will not work . any 
substitute method to achieve it ?

[ansible-project] playbook without hosts desribed

[Veera]

Hi,

Is there a way that  we can use a playbook with no "hosts: XXX"  defined.
All the servers are available in the inventory file defined in the  
ansible.cfg , but  the playbooks have  to be run  based on a single or 
multiple client on the ad-hoc request based.

Is there a way to remove


 hosts: all


 and  have the same playbook working for security reasons ?
 In the meantime when a play is to be executed in all the clients they have 
to be mentioned from the  command line(or jenkins)

Re: [ansible-project] shell module with multiple arguments using variables

[Veera]

Hi Martz,


I tried with a couple of options  as per the link you have shared including 
the  "shell:  echo "{{ item }}" .  but still I am unable to combine the 
right combination.

my current snippet:

tasks:
- name: List the   status of the puppet services
  ignore_errors: yes
  shell:  "{{ item }}"
  register: pupstat
  with_items:
- "{{ pp_stat }}"
- "{{ pr_date }}"
- debug:
var:  pupstat

and the output of  debug is  fine.

 But  debug with  "stdout.lines"  is  giving an error

When running pup_stat alone, it works.

Adding {{ }} around items did not help

[ansible-project] shell module with multiple arguments using variables

[Veera]

Hi,

I am trying to  call variables to the shell module  but failing ..

  hosts: myhost
  remote_user: root
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
- pp_stat: "/etc/init.d/puppet status"

  strategy: free
  tasks:

  ignore_errors: yes
  shell: "{{ item }}"
  with_items:
 -  pp_stat
 - pr_date
  register: pupstat
- debug:
var: pupstat.stdout_lines


error reads:

what I am  missing in calling the  variables?

Thanks Vinoth.  It worked

Yes . I learnt that we can use the formatting as in python either with ' '  
or  " ".

[ansible-project] How to use piping multiple shell commands

[Veera]

Hi,

I am trying the below   snippet to  detect  the established ports.  but 
Ansible throws an error.

 - name: List the  port connections 
  shell: "netstat -nautp |grep -iE "137|389|445|636" |awk '{print $5}' 
|cut -d: -f2 |grep -iwE "137|389|445|636"
  register: dc_stat
  debug:
var: dc_stat.stdout_lines

this through's the error

The offending line appears to be:


- name: List the  port connections 
  shell: netstat -nautp |grep -iE "137|389|445|636" |awk '{print $5}' |cut 
-d: -f2 |grep -iwE "137|389|445|636"

 ^ here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
unbalanced quotes.  If starting a value with a quote, make sure the
line ends with the same set of quotes.  For instance this arbitrary
example:


foo: "bad" "wolf"


Could be written as:


foo: '"bad" "wolf"'



I tried  inserted  a " " for the shell commands  and using  vars/pipe also 
.. 
How can i direct the output of "netstat -nautp |grep -iE "137|389|445|636" 
|awk '{print $5}' |cut -d: -f2 |grep -iwE "137|389|445|636"" to a variable  
?

Or  do we have to use backslash(\)  as in shell ?

[ansible-project] Ansible yum module arguement equivalent for repolist.

[Veera]

Hi,

I am using the following snippet  as part of a play. 
I have to refresh the  yum repository list as I will replace the repository 
file every time I run the playbook . 
So , After  having  a successful  play  to copy my test.repo file to 
/etc/yum.repos.d/test.repo  . I am able to  successfully run the  "yum 
repolist"  with command module.

 - name: Refresh the yum repository  cache
>   #yum:
>   #  update_cache: yes
>   command: "yum repolist"
>   register: repo_list



But ansible suggest to use yum module  , but the doc have no equivalent for 
the  "repolist" of yum .
Is "update_cache"  do the same fuction like "yum repolist"?

[ansible-project] debug module stdout print only 8 lines

[Veera]

Hi,
 
 I am trying to output of an ansible playbook , which  is an output of a 
custom service status.



 register: webstat
- debug:
var: webstat.stdout_lines
verbosity: 0


and the output is  as  follows...

ok: [server1] => {
"webstat.stdout_lines": [
"",
"Web Service running...",
"",
"",
"Web  Agent running...",
"",
"",
"Web db Agent running..."
]
}

but the  adhoc  command,  the   actual   output is  5 lines


For  any  standard "var.stdout"  only  8 lines are printing .  Any way to  
increase the  std.output  lines  above  8 lines

[ansible-project] Store ssh passphrase for another session.

[Veera]

I have a set of ansible client servers accessible from ansible engine using 
ssh-key and passphrase.


When I run a ansible ad-hoc command , I have to enter passphase on each 
servers connections and this is repeating for all the tasks.

However from github search , find a way to reduce the enter the passphrase 
only one time by using the ssh-agent "eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" ; ssh-add 
~/.ssh/id_rsa" and by entering passphrase once .


When I exit the shell and re-login the I have to re-run and enter the 
commands and passphrase again .

How can I avoid this ? Is there a way to store the passphrase as like in 
ansible-vault and use it for login?

[ansible-project] Looking for an ansible module which supports yum-utils package

[Veera]

Hi ,

I am looking for an ansible module which supports  yum-utils package 
commands.
It consists of  a command *"package-cleanup**"*  which is  pretty useful in 
cleaning  the  old kernels.

package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=2   <= this  command will clean up all old 
kernels and keep just two(The current one and the previous one)


But on search  in the  Module  index of ansible, or under package 
management,there is  no module for this command "package-cleanup".

Do  anyone uses the ansible modules of commands from yum-utils?  Kindly  
share the details ..

Re: [ansible-project] ios_command multiple commands

[Veera Kumar]

Hi,

You can give list of commands and all the outputs will register in
mentioned variable name. And instead output.stdout[0] just give
output.stdout.

But the problem is variable I.e output.stdout will only contain outputs
only. Means issued command will not be there.

Try with blockinfile module to have command1
output of command1
Command2
Output of command2

Thanks,
Veera

Re: [ansible-project] Send commands to a not supported router

[Veera Kumar]

Couple of ways we have,

We can group Cisco and other vendor devices.
Then we can add condition only when hostname matches with Cisco group will
execute the command. On other devices this task will be slipped.

Still you are not familiar with group concepts, then simply add
ignore_errors: yes on this task. Means even iOS command not able to execute
on other vendor devices, it ll keep doing other tasks on this play.

Thx, Veera

[Veera Kumar]

Since from 2.5 version, Ansible added provider to bigip_configsync_action, 
there is some confusion. 
bigip_configsync_action module not doing the config-SYNC and keep showing 
Error as ["Unable to connect to BIGIP_F52.test.com on port 22. Is 
\"validate_certs\" preventing this?"]


BIGIP_F52.test.com is my F5 Box name against which am ruining my playbook.

# SUMMARY

Since from 2.5 version, Ansible added provider to bigip_configsync_action,

bigip_configsync_action module not doing the config-SYNC and keep showing 
Error as ["Unable to connect to BIGIP_F52.test.com on port 22. Is

# STEPS TO REPRODUCE

---
 - name : Auto Config-SYNC on F5 HA
   hosts : BIGIP_F52.test.com
#   connection : local
   gather_facts : no

   tasks:
 - name: Sync configuration from device to group
   bigip_configsync_action:
 server: BIGIP_F52.test.com
 user: "admin"
 password: "veera@123"
 transport: "rest"
 server_port: 22
 overwrite_config: yes
 device_group: "device-group-failover-bca6a09f80d1"
 sync_device_to_group: yes
 validate_certs: no
   delegate_to: localhost


Even I have tried with server_port: 443 with transport type as rest. 
I have tried with server_port: 22 with transport type as cli.
I have tried with server_port: 443 with transport type as cli.  



# EXPECTED RESULTS
