capture their report via stdout, and add the reports to a single local file via
local_action. sometimes this works, and sometimes it does not. in all cases i
can see that the report is generated (stdout for each target shows on the
ansible controller during task execution). but sometimes all output for a given
target is missing from the local logfile. here is the playbook:
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
- name: run report
script: pkgReport.py {{ inventory_hostname }}
register: report
- name: build local report
lineinfile:
path: "/tmp/pkgReport.txt"
insertafter: EOF
line: "{{ item }}"
state: present
create: yes
with_items: "{{ report.stdout.lines }}"
delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
so first question ... can someone point out what i may be doing wrong?
and of course next question ... what is the smartest way of doing this?
Lets say you have 20 host, then you would have 20 task trying to write
to the same file at once(or at least 5 at a time with default, because
forks is default set to 5), this will seldom if at all work.
You can use assemble or the template module, personally I would use the
template.
local_report.j2
---------------
{% for item in ansible_play_hosts %}
Report for host {{ item }}:
{{ hostvars[item].report.stdout }}
{% endfor %}
And a task to create the file:
- name: build local report
template:
src: local_report.j2
dest: /tmp/pkgReport.txt
run_once: true
delegate_to: localhost
