Hi Jane, Thanks for the reply. Alas, it didn't work :) A bit more on the environment I'm working with: Got a lab setup with ubuntu 18.04 VMs with FRR 7.0 installed. What I want to test is whether I can properly configure frr on there with ansible. so the regular network_cli connection is likel

[ansible-project] List of files managed by ansible

Hi, I am quite new to Ansible and look forward to use it to manage some of our servers. We are a small company with only ~10 virtual servers hosting each a different service and have multiple admins for those. For us it does not make sense to port the configuration for every service to Ansible, j

[ansible-project] Ansible - To limit the execution for the range of hosts

Can you give me a suggestion about one more requirement? I need to limit the playbook execution for particular hosts. Eg., From host1 to the host mentioned in site.retry file My inventory file: 192.168.11.1 192.168.11.2 192.168.11.3 Playbook name: site.yml Command: ansible-playbook site.yml --l

[ansible-project] Re: Ansible - To limit the execution for the range of hosts

Or is there any way in ansible to fetch the IP of the hosts where the playbooks are executed? As like .retry file in ansible which holds the IP of failed one, is there any ways in ansible which holds the IPs of all executed hosts alone(ie., hosts in which the playbook executes) On Wednesday, J

[ansible-project] Re: frr_facts and/or frr_bgp give assertionError?

Hi, ansible_network_os is not set. As indicated: this is a ubuntu vm with frr installed in it, so ansible does not really recognize a network_os variant. so it might be that frr_bgp can only be used on certain device types? For now, I'm going to try another way of generating the proper confi

Re: [ansible-project] Re: frr_facts and/or frr_bgp give assertionError?

Hello, For managing FRR using Ansible, you'd need to a have service account with the default shell set to /bin/vtysh on the VM/bare-metal server on which you've deployed FRR and use that service account credentials in your group_vars/host_vars. Essentially, if you SSH directly into your VMs using

[ansible-project] How to check when at least one element of a list is not null

The real goal here is to perform an action only when at least one of *inventory_hostname* groups from *group_names* matches one group from another list of groups (in this example: ```git|local|ntopng```) . This is defined within a *role*, so I cannot use the list ``` - hosts:```. For instance,

You can get the current executing ip addresses in the playbook using the magic variable inventory_hostname You can find more information at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#magic-variables-and-how-to-access-information-about-other-hosts On Wednesday,

[ansible-project] Re: Ansible - overwriting file lineinfile when run in parallel

Since you are using local_action, it will execute on the ansible controller instead of remote host local_action is an alternative way of doing delegate_to: localhost. These actions will be executed on local machine (Ansible control host) I don't see how it would behave differently if you use ser
