I'm instaling collectd service using ansible version 2.4 and making some
changes into the colectd config and that's working fine.
In my playbook i'm using `lineinfile` module to make the chnages in the
collectd confg file using the regex , here i have two `lineinfile` chnages
one is to chnage
the default Hostname from the config file using `ansible_hostname` variable
while in another line i have some Prefix's which i'm changing and that the
Key point for my playbook..
For clarification belwo the line where i need the playbook to be opting the
values dynamically
Example:
a) this is what is value looks like
Prefix "collectd.<ServiceName>.<Changable_StateName>.<Changable_location>"
b) this is what i'm appending values manually in my play as of now ..
Prefix "collectd.OpenDJ.EMEA.sophia.
My Invetory looks like as follows( this is based on host:var and using
private keys over)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[hosts]
dbserver-bijing
dbserver-endicott
dbserver-delhi
[hosts:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=root
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/root/ansiblseckeys
Changable_StateName :
--------------------
EMEA
APAC
NA
IN
Changable_location
------------------
sophia
bijing
endicott
delhi
Below is my Playboook peice which makes the changes ...
-----------------------------------------------------
- name: Committing changes to collectd configuration....
lineinfile:
dest: "{{ item.dest }}"
regexp: "{{ item.regexp }}"
line: "{{ item.line }}"
backrefs: yes
with_items:
- { dest: '/opt/collectd/etc/collectd.conf', regexp: '#Hostname
"dbserver-repo"', line: 'Hostname "{{ ansible_hostname }}"' }
- { dest: '/opt/collectd/etc/collectd.conf', regexp: '# Prefix
"collectd.unix."', line: ' Prefix "collectd.OpenDJ.EMEA.sophia."' }
So, the problem is , when i run my playbook each time hostname gets chnages
and same as the `stateName` and `statelocation`.
Hence looing around to spin these type of chnage in the playbook.
