If it were my code, i'd probably instead of checking for the nagios user
existing, check that the package is installed ( ie rpm -q and register
output), or do a stat on the /usr/local/nagios/etc directory and copy the
file if is exists.. its not a whole lot compact or cleaner than what you
have, but it at least wont fail if for some reason you have a nagios user
on a box, but dont have the directory structure in place such as your
current code. In your example, if the nagios user is there, it assumes
that the /usr/local/nagios/etc path exists as a landing pad for your
nrpe.cfg file.
Since i dont know what is you install nrpe via a package manager, below is
an example using stat to check for the etc directory
- name: Checking for existing nagios etc directory
stat:
path: "/usr/local/nagios/etc"
register: nag_dir
- name: Copy nrpe.cfg to client
copy:
src: /etc/ansible/masterfiles/nagios/nrpe.cfg
dest: /usr/local/nagios/etc/
owner: nagios
group: nagios
mode: 0644
when: nag_dir.isdir is defined and nag_dir.isdir
notify: reload xinetd
