Sorry for the additional reply, but i realized i had the incorrect desired
output in my last one.. When the curl command is the following, it works
and gives me the correct extra-var on the tower side:
curl -f -k -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -XPOST -d
'{"host_config_key": "xxx", "extra_vars": "{\"logs\":[{file:
/apps/app1/shared/logs/catalina.out, group_name:
/on-premise/app1/container}, {file: /apps/app1/shared/logs/app1.log,
group_name: /on-premise/app1/webapp/applog}],\"env_stage\":\"dev\"}"}'
"https://tower.xxx.net:443/api/v1/job_templates/xxx/callback/";
env_stage: dev
logs:
- file: /apps/app1/shared/logs/catalina.out
group_name: /on-premise/app1/container
- file: /apps/app1/shared/logs/app1.log
group_name: /on-premise/app1/webapp/applog
for it to work, the {{ eck_logs }} variable to expand to not include the
quoting (ie [{file: /apps/app1/shared/logs/catalina.out, group_name:
/on-premise/app1/container}, {file: /apps/app1/shared/logs/app1.log,
group_name: /on-premise/app1/webapp/applog}]) or the callback fails.
thx
