1. I have a requirement where I need to pass a hostname so that the ansible playbook can take the hostname and do the necessary actions like stopping and starting the service of a application.
How can I pass hostname that comes externally to the ansible playbook? - hosts: all gather_facts: true tasks: - name: Set services on job servers in {{ work_env }} to {{ work_op }} service: name: "{{ item }}" state: "{{ work_op }}" when: - inventory_hostname in groups[work_env] - inventory_hostname in groups["job"] loop: - rdcstop - ratstop loop_control: label: Set {{ item }} service on {{ inventory_hostname }} to {{ work_op }}. Here in the above work_env,work_op all are defined in my template. The "job" is defined in my inventory file, this tells what host will fall under the "jobs" category. So, if I remove the inventory file, how will ansible will be able to read the hostname that comes from external calls? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.
