Hi All, I'm learning Ansible and am preparing to try and execute both deployment and configuration maintenance on a few systems at work.
One configuration file in particular is giving me issues however. I want to be able to update Min and Max Instances in this section of a cfg file: ... [PSAPPSRV] ;========================================================================= ; Settings for PSAPPSRV ;========================================================================= ;------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; UBBGEN settings Min Instances=25 Max Instances=25 Service Timeout=300 ;------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Number of services after which PSAPPSRV will automatically restart. ... The problem is the file also contains other sections with identical Min/Max lines like this: ... [PSQRYSRV] ;========================================================================= ; Settings for PSQRYSRV ;========================================================================= ;------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; UBBGEN settings Min Instances=6 Max Instances=6 Service Timeout=1200 ;------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Number of services after which PSQRYSRV will automatically restart. ... I want to be able to run an ansible task repeatedly against this file to update the Min/Max lines only if changed. I don't want to use the template or shell modules because if the lines are changed, I need to initiate a restart of the dependent services and I don't want to do that unnecessarily. I also want to have some sort of record of the file being changed via the ansible-playbook output. I've looked into lineinfile module, but have yet to find a way to only update a single line number. I looked into sed with ansible variables, but again, that doesn't meet the idempotent requirement. Is there any way to achieve what i'm looking for here?
