On Ansible 2.3.1.0 this works:
- name: Identify logs
find: paths=/var/log/nginx patterns="*.log"
ignore_errors: true
register: files_to_delete
- name: Remove debug file log
file: path=/tmp/test.log state=absent
- name: Log matched files
shell: echo {{ item.path }} /tmp >> /tmp/test.log
with_items: "{{ files_to_delete.files }}"
It would be nice to be able to do a debug var or msg, but that seems to
break the loop for some reason. Anyway I can dump the matched log files in
/tmp/test.log on each server in /tmp/test.log.
I would like to extend the find:
- name: Identify logs
find: paths=/var/log/{{ item }} patterns="*.log"
with_items:
- nginx
- apache
- qmail
- opensmtp
ignore_errors: true
register: files_to_delete
doing a debug: var=files_to_delete I see the following structure:
ok: [server] => {
"files_to_delete": {
"changed": false,
"msg": "All items completed",
"results": [
{
"_ansible_item_result": true,
"_ansible_no_log": false,
"_ansible_parsed": true,
"changed": false,
"examined": 4,
"files": [
{
"atime": 1501710174.3968189,
"ctime": 1501710167.0451255,
"dev": 51713,
"gid": 0,
"inode": 1307247,
"isblk": false,
"ischr": false,
"isdir": false,
"isfifo": false,
"isgid": false,
"islnk": false,
"isreg": true,
"issock": false,
"isuid": false,
"mode": "0644",
"mtime": 1501710167.0451255,
"nlink": 1,
"path": "/var/logs/qmail/debug.log",
...
I tried many things such as:
- name: Log matched files
shell: echo {{ item.path }} /tmp >> /tmp/test.log
with_subelements:
- "{{ files_to_delete.results }}"
- files
but I am not able to get this to work. I've found several blog posts on
this but either this version of Ansible is broke in regards to this or the
functionality has changed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Michael
