Fantastic.
So the box is running acme sbc.
Aim to achieve the following via AWX / Ansible:
***************# show platform cpu-load summary <------- the command to
run
Total load: 11%
CPU#00 14%
CPU#01 8%
Load average: 2.86 3.00 3.00 2/281 7385
You have redacted the most important part the prompt.
Expect is petty easy, it looks for a string/text, when it sees that
ecpect respond with a command and press enter.
This string must be unique or else expect will type a command at the
wrong place.
But if you do not have # anywhere else you can use that.
Playbook contents :
---
- name: Check CPU Load
hosts: all
connection: local
gather_facts: yes
tasks:
- name: Get CPU Load
expect:
command: show platform cpu-load summary
The command is the ssh command you need to login.
So you should a provided the whole output above, staring from a Linux
prompt above.
Think of expect as a user that is typing the command manually. So need
to start from prompt to now what is needed in responses bellow, because
every keystroke you do expect has to do them also.
responses:
cpu
The responses part is where you have the question answer section, this
is the string expect is waiting for and the command it should type.
So in your case we need to use the prompt/string # since you redacted
the rest
responses:
'#': show platform cpu-load summary
So the # is the question/string/prompt and the part after colon is the
command to run.
The quotes is needed if not # is taken as a comment.
If you would like to run more than one command per unique prompt they
need to be in a list:
responses:
'#':
- show platform cpu-load summary
- show something else
You probably need to handle the password prompt in the responses too.
