OK. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
- hosts: all
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: win update
win_updates:
category:
['SecurityUpdates','CriticalUpdates','Updates','Tools','DefinitionUpdates','UpdateRollups']
register: reboot_hint
- hosts: admin2
gather_facts: false
sudo: yes
tasks:
- nagios: action=downtime minutes=20 author="Dimitri Yioulos"
service=host host={{item}}
with_items: "{{ groups['lyris'] }}"
delegate_to: admin2
# when: hostvars[myhost]['reboot_hint']['reboot_required']
tags:
- nagios_downtime
- nagios: action=downtime minutes=20 author="Dimitri Yioulos"
service=all host={{item}}
with_items: "{{ groups['lyris'] }}"
delegate_to: admin2
# when: hostvars[myhost]['reboot_hint']['reboot_required']
Since "reboot_hint" is coming from the previous play, and since the host or
group to run the playbook against is defined at the command line, as in:
"ansible-playbook -l lyris myplaybook.yml -u myuser", what do I specify in
the [myhost] section? This must be a variable to accept the host name OR
group name I specified at the command line, but I don't know what that
would be.
Further, and maybe another post altogether, how do I make the substitution
in "with_items: "{{ groups['lyris'] }}"" so that I don't have to change
e.g. lyris is I'm specifying another host or group in running the playbook?
With thanks,
Dimitri
