I wish to automate user removal from nagios. This can be done via their
REST api; however, I first need to find the user, grab their user_id, and
then I can perform the delete based on the user_id. Their API returns the
info in jinja format. I don't know how to iterate through the output, find
the username, and grab the correlating user_id. For example, how can I
obtain the user_id for the user: somegal?
My playbook:
---
- hosts: nagios
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Get nagios user info
shell: 'curl -XGET
"http://nagios/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/user?apikey=<my api key>&pretty=1"'
register: nagios_userid
- debug:
var: nagios_userid.stdout_lines
Partial output:
ok: [nagios] => {
"nagios_userid": {
"changed": true,
"cmd": "curl -XGET
\"http://nagios/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/user?apikey=<my api key>&pretty=1\"",
"delta": "0:00:00.263619",
"end": "2019-01-29 12:54:17.693892",
"failed": false,
"rc": 0,
...
"stdout_lines": [
"{",
" \"records\": 27,",
" \"users\": [",
" {",
" \"user_id\": \"37\",",
" \"username\": \"someguy\",",
" \"name\": \"Some Guy\",",
" \"email\": \"s...@example.com\",",
" \"enabled\": \"1\"",
" },",
" {",
" \"user_id\": \"36\",",
" \"username\": \"somegal\",",
" \"name\": \"Some Gal\",",
" \"email\": \"s...@example.com\",",
" \"enabled\": \"1\"",
" },",
" {",
" \"user_id\": \"34\",",
" \"username\": \"gpyle\",",
" \"name\": \"Gomer Pyle\",",
" \"email\": \"gp...@example.com\",",
" \"enabled\": \"1\"",
" },",
....
