HI, I have written a custom fact module to retrieve metadata from Google Compute Engine hosts. The script itself works fine and returns valid json however, I can not see how I call that within Ansible so that I can make use of the fact later.
My script is get_metadata.py #!/usr/bin/env python import urllib2 import sys import json url = "http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/attributes/"; headers = { "Metadata-Flavor" : "Google" } metadata = ['dc'] content = {} for x in range (0, len(metadata)): req = urllib2.Request(url + metadata[x], None, headers) try: response = urllib2.urlopen(req) content[metadata[x]] = (response.read()) except urllib2.HTTPError, e: pass result = '{ "ansible_facts": ' + json.dumps(content) + ' }' print result The ansible command I am using is: ansible-playbook -s -i plugins/inventory/gce.py -M /opt/ansible/modules/ deploy.yml with my module stored in /opt/ansible/modules/get_metadata.py Deploy.yml looks like this: --- - hosts: manage-1 tasks: [] pre_tasks: - name: get meta data get_metadata: roles: - common Any help would be appreciated.
