Hi, I am pretty new to ansible, i am trying to get ansible to send me an email from my defined hosts (as in the inventory file
To make the playbook work i have had to hardcode the FROM field within the email module of ansible. I have hardcoded the playbook file such that the FROM field is the control server . This works.. however the FROM field gives the wrong impression that the email is being sent from the control server , ie [email protected] but in other words its coming from each individual server .ie [email protected]....... etc I have 6 servers under ansible control for my lab purposes ie server 1 to server6 --- - hosts: random-servers tasks: - mail: > to="[email protected]" from="[email protected]" body="Just testing ansible " subject="Welcome Sir This is just a test " attach="/etc/hosts" What i want to achieve is to set the enveriablevariable code such that it refelects the right server from which the email is being sent from I tried $HOSTNAME i tried `hostname` But its simply a case of not knowing how the set the environment variables right or using the wrong syntax eseesntially the string from="[email protected]" need to be dynamically changed via environment settings but i am not sure how I have tried various syntax combinations and tried to set vars.. but it wouldnt work any help would be appreciated. I tried from="[root@$HOSTNAME]" and "[root@`hostname`]" and all sorts of other syntax combinations but no joy. I tried to use the vars: and environment options . which i am not familiar with .but it always failed each time. Maybe there might be an easy answer from you ansible gurus.I love ansible..ive picked up so much in a very short time i am running ansible 1.9.3 on Centos 7 Help please any help would be greatly appreciated Regards D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
