hi, at the moment we use something like:
- name: wait for possible traffic shell: "tail -n 5 /var/log/nginx/ssl-*access*log" register: watch_nginx_log retries: 30 delay: 5 until: "watch_nginx_log.stdout_lines | reject('search','nginx_status') | list | count == 0" when: zero_weight is defined The goal is to search, if there is _any_ string in the Nginx log file, but drop/skip the nginx_status, which comes from a Consul health check. So, if there is any other string, "wait_for" should "wait" and counting, until there is no other lines and then do the next part. An example logfile with no other strings looks like: 172.16.1.4 - - [29/Aug/2019:08:43:22 +0200] "GET /nginx_status HTTP/1.1" 200 111 "-" "Consul Health Check" 172.16.1.4 - - [29/Aug/2019:08:43:42 +0200] "GET /nginx_status HTTP/1.1" 200 111 "-" "Consul Health Check" 172.16.1.4 - - [29/Aug/2019:08:44:02 +0200] "GET /nginx_status HTTP/1.1" 200 111 "-" "Consul Health Check" 172.16.1.4 - - [29/Aug/2019:08:44:22 +0200] "GET /nginx_status HTTP/1.1" 200 111 "-" "Consul Health Check" 172.16.1.4 - - [29/Aug/2019:08:44:42 +0200] "GET /nginx_status HTTP/1.1" 200 111 "-" "Consul Health Check" 172.16.1.4 - - [29/Aug/2019:08:45:02 +0200] "GET /nginx_status HTTP/1.1" 200 111 "-" "Consul Health Check" I want to replace it with a more Ansible way. I found, that there is a "wait_for" with search_regex. Is it possible ? I have to do the same with a squid access.log :-) cu denny -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.
