I have a playbook that executes a command on a set of routers (inventory
hosts) looking for a specific IP address. The playbook uses the "meta:
end_host" on hosts that do not return a desired result. This works fine.
A result is returned to the user via a URI call.
Now I'd like to return "not found" with the URI call, when none of the
routers have the IP address. Unfortunately the meta:end_host ends the
playbook.
I've tried setting a "flag" on localhost as ansible_fact but the when does
not work.
- name: Set default value for ip not_found flag
set_fact:
not_found: true
delegate_to: localhost
delegate_facts: true
run_once: yes
...
- name: Set default value for ip not_found flag
set_fact:
not_found: true
delegate_to: localhost
delegate_facts: true
run_once: yes
...
- name: NOT FOUND
uri:
url: https://{{ cmdb }}/{{ test_results }}
method: PUT
body_format: json
body: {
"jobId": "{{ tower_job_id | default('000')}}",
"result": "Search for IP Address {{ realtime_ip }}",
"details": "NOT FOUND"
}
delegate_to: localhost
when: not_found
The last play does not delegate to localhost so I get an error that
not_found does not exist. What I'm I doing wrong. Any other way I can
accomplish this. I dont want "failed" hosts from the playbook.
