I would follow to the first approach, getting to the forth column of the match
lines then appending users from lists, like the following.
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "def","test" };
}
bundle common def
{
vars:
aix::
"groups" slist => { "unix","dba","support" };
"grp_unix" slist => { "a", "b", "c", "d" };
"grp_dba" slist => { "e", "f","g" };
"grp_support" slist => { "h", "i", "j" };
}
bundle agent test
{
vars:
aix::
"local_groups" slist => { @(def.groups) };
files:
aix::
"/etc/group"
edit_line => AppendUserParam("$(local_groups)","4");
}
bundle edit_line AppendUserParam(user,field)
{
vars:
"tmp_unix" slist => { @(def.grp_unix) };
"tmp_dba" slist => { @(def.grp_dba) };
"tmp_support" slist => { @(def.grp_support) };
field_edits:
"$(user):.*"
edit_field => col(":","$(field)","$(tmp_$(user))","append");
}
body edit_field col(split,col,newval,method)
{
field_separator => "$(split)";
select_field => "$(col)";
value_separator => ",";
field_value => "$(newval)";
field_operation => "$(method)";
extend_fields => "true";
}
It should work and get the same result, I guess. :-)
Cheers,
