Hi,
I have a playbook requirement where new hosts come and leave. Based on it i
plan to create groups dynamically. However below playbook gives an error:
---
- hosts: all
connection: local
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: add new host and group dynamically
* add_host: hostname: "test" ansible_host: "10.1.1.2"
ansible_ipaddress: "10.1.1.2" groups: 'dynamicgroup'*
- hosts: dynamicgroup
connection: local
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: all hosts in dynamicgroup
debug:
msg: "{{play_hosts}}"
- name: flush
meta: refresh_inventory
- hosts: newdynamicgroup
connection: local
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: add new host and group dynamically
add_host:
hostname: "test1"
ansible_host: "10.1.1.3"
ansible_ipaddress: "10.1.1.3"
groups: 'newdynamicgroup'
- name: all hosts in newdynamicgroup
debug:
msg: "{{play_hosts}}"
The first dynamic host and group gets added succesfully but 2nd one fails
with below error:
