Hi all,
I'm learning Ansible, and I'm trying to use it to template a Nagios config
file. My network is 98% Debian and Ubuntu, with a FreePBX server to mix
things up. There en lies the issue I'm having. When I run this command to
check facts:
ansible freepbx.domain.com -m
I can see that
"ansible_os_family": "Sangoma"
In my template, I have the following if statement:
{% if ansible_os_family == "Debian" or ansible_os_family == "Ubuntu" %}
define service{
use local-service
host_name {{ hostvars[item].inventory_hostname
}}
service_description Apt Status
check_command check_apt
}
{% endif %}
and the issue is that the block is still being generated for that server,
even though it's not Debian or Ubuntu.
I posted this on Reddit as well
<https://www.reddit.com/r/ansible/comments/7y5uje/troubles_with_an_if_statement_in_a_jinja2_template/?st=jdrthmo2&sh=38998e5f>,
and I realized that the issue is that the template is being applied to my
Nagios server, which is Debian, so the ansible_os_family is always coming
back Debian. What I'm having trouble with is how to get the if statement
to get it's facts from the target server, and not the one the playbook is
running on. I'm able to get the hostname from the static hosts file like
this
{{ hostvars[item].inventory_hostname }}
but I'm not having any luck figuring out how to get the template to apply
to the values from that host. Anyone have any ideas?
