I got some help via #ansible and was able to figure out what was happening.
Some insight:
- debug: msg="a web or db {{group_names}}"
when: '"web" in group_names or "db" in group_names'
TASK: [_nrpe | debug msg="a web or db {{group_names}}"]
****************************
skipping: [web1.prod.domain.net]
skipping: [web2.prod.domain.net]
TASK: [_nrpe | debug var=group_names]
*****************************************
ok: [web1.prod.domain.net] => {
"group_names": [
"prod-web"
]
}
ok: [web2.prod.domain.net] => {
"group_names": [
"prod-web"
]
}
So it actually works when I have group_names as prod-web and I match on
when: "'web' in group_names' but it doesn't work when I have
[prod|build]-web so I leveraged groups of groups and created a
[web:children] with prod-web and dev-web as a part of the group, then the
match on 'web' works.
