Hi All,
Thankyou for the response, I used Rigler's set_fact to determine the
hostgroup like below
- name: Set Group
set_fact:
group: |
{% if c == 1 %}
grp1
{% elif c ==2 %}
grp3
{% else %}
grp4
{% endif %}
- name: Run the playbook
hosts: "{{ hostvars.localhost.group }}"
roles:
- myplaybook.yml
My inventory file is like below:
hosts.ini
[appdagents]
grp1
grp2
grp3
.
.
.
grp8
[grp1:vars]
var1="asfadfdsg"
[grp2:vars]
var1="gsfgfh"
.
.
.
[grp1]
host1/db1 ansible_host=host1 db=db1
host1/db2 ansible_host=host1 db=db2
.
.
.
etc
Im getting below error.
[WARNING]: **Could not match supplied host pattern, ignoring: grp1**
I did look into few github issues and it says any commented lines in hosts.ini
could cause a problem and I dont have any commented lines.
Kindly help
