TERM=dumb

Sorry, I mistyped. The minus sign should have been an equals sign.

The idea is to set the environment variable TERM to the value "dumb"
immediately before starting the shell in which your program will be run.

Also can you please answer the question about whether you can redirect the
output of this program?

I strongly suggest you experiment manually rather than with Ansible. You
need to find out how to achieve what you want, then duplicate that in
Ansible. Doing both at once is very painful.

Regards, K.

 Hi,

 *Here is the brief about scenario: *

 1. login to Debian host machine using ansible
 2. Go to corresponding directory where the binary is and execute that
 binary. (This binary is written in c and C++. After execution it ask for
 the userid & password)
 3. After login into that binary's shell, it  has several commands which
 displays statistics. Those stats are lengthy and does not fit in current
 screen resolution. For seen seeing all the stats we have to press Down
 arrow Key or Enter key multiple time until we reach to last stat line.

 *How I am doing this: *

 *-** hosts: sam*
 *  gather_facts: no*
 *  tasks:*
 *  - name: capture all stats*
 *ignore_errors: yes*
 *expect:*
 *  command: /opt/abc/xyz_Platform/bin/go_xyz_cli*
 *  responses:*
 *(.*)Username:(.*): "admin"*
 *(.*)Password:(.*): "admin"*
 *(.*)xyz_cli>(.*): display all debug stats*
 *(.*):(.*): ''*
 *register: stats*
 *  - local_action: copy content="{{ stats.stdout}}"
 dest="/home/sam/quickstats/stats.txt"*
 *ignore_errors: yes*

 *Issues Facing : *

 1. Multiple similar line gets copied in stats.txt file when above
 reaches to ==>>*  (.*):(.*): ''*  (See above code section marked in
 blue). Using this method to press  key.
 2. Actual stats counts are of line 500 hundred but above code returns
 2k + stats with repetitive stats and some garbage values appended.
 3. If i removes this  portion *  (.*):(.*): ''*  from code, then above
 script only copies 20-30 lines which currently are displayed on screen or
 which displayed in current screen size.

 I guess I can achieve this by changing remote servers' screen size. but
 I could not able to get any such way in ansible.

 May I request you to help me in this ?

[ansible-project] Ansible-playbook

2020-04-18 Thread Orkhan Mammadov

Hi guys,

I have created file under /etc/sudoers.d/ directory with this entry: 
ansible ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL and copied to managed hosts in order to 
install some service such as vsftpd on those hosts.

I can ssh and install any service with root user, but not with ansible 
user. It gives the following error while installing service via 
ansible-playbook command:

TASK [install vsftpd] 
**
fatal: [ansible1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "This command has 
to be run under the root user.", "results": []}


Can you please tell me which configs should be made in order to install 
services on ansible user?

Thanks.

Re: [ansible-project] Check status of VMware tools & reboot if VMware tools are not running

Why Aren't you using your Local Machine using Atom or VS Code to build your 
Yaml files then using WinSCP copy the playbooks over ?

Re: [ansible-project] Check status of VMware tools & reboot if VMware tools are not running

what editor can i use on my ubuntu box? I cant use anything other than vim.

still getting the error.

tony@ubuntu:~/ansiblework$ ansible-playbook info.yml
 [WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note
that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'

ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
  mapping values are not allowed in this context

The error appears to be in '/home/tony/ansiblework/info.yml': line 3,
column 8, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

name: get info vm
  hosts: localhost

[ansible-project] Module name not misspelled, but didn't exist yet

Hi

The "misspelled module name" issue seems to be a recurring one.
In the majority of cases the spelling is actually correct, it's just
that that  module didn't exist yet in the version of ansible that
raises the error.
These days the error is slightly improved:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/parsing/mod_args.py#L306-L315

Would it be an idea to extended that wording to include something
along the lines of:

"or this module was introduced in a future version - check
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/.html and
upgrade to be able to use it"

I realise this doesn't help any versions out there now, but it would
be of help for future versions.


thx

Re: [ansible-project] Task Status at Playbook runtime

2020-04-18 Thread Ashish Sagar

Sure, By default, Ansible playbook executes tasks in sequence and summarize
task results at last. With this approach, it shows each task status on
running playbook verbose logs.

Question is,  Is there anyway to get task status like failed, changed etc
during playbook runtime (without parsing logs) ? I know this can be
achieved in async mode but my requirement is to keep executing task in
sequence.

Thanks.

Re: [ansible-project] Re: How to change remote hosts' terminal screen size/resolution in Ansible

You *might* be able to convince the console on the remote system to be a
dumb terminal by doing this as your command:

TERM-dumb ; sh -c your_command

This works in gnome-terminal as well - it seems to suppress most control
sequences except CR/LF and similar.

Or in Ansible, setting the environment variable TERM to "dumb" then running
your command in a new shell. In my experiments here, when I set TERM=dumb
and ran sh from within a console or from within gnome-terminal, the
colourisation went away. However the console still had a fixed number of
lines.

Re: [ansible-project] Re: How to change remote hosts' terminal screen size/resolution in Ansible

What shell are you using on the remote machine? And what kind of terminal
is it running in? I have a suspicion that it is just running on a pty, and
that your program is blindly putting out control sequences. If it is, then
there's nothing you can do about it except strip them using regexp or
similar.

Is there any way to redirect the output from your program into a file? That
bypasses the terminal stuff completely , though as I said, if your program
is blindly colourising its output OR blindly waiting after every 24 lines,
there's nothing much you can do about it. The duplicate output is strange -
can you provide a sample? It may be the program trying to output bold text
or something.

Right about now I would be contacting the people responsible for a) the
Debian host and b) this program you are trying to run to see if there is
some way to solve this problem neatly.

Were you able to find out about possible additional command line controls
on the program? Anything Ansible can do, you can do too, so try manually
logging in and seeing what you can find out.

Regards, K.

Not sure what a "super password" is - but it indicates that you might
not have read the dedicated web page on Privilege escalation.
I would suggest doing that though:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html.

Hi Folks,

Is there anyway to get specific Task status like Changed, ignored or failed
during Playbook runtime in synchronous mode ?


Thanks

Hello George,

--ask-pass is for the SSH connection, --ask-become-pass for Sudo password.

Re: [ansible-project] Re: How to change remote hosts' terminal screen size/resolution in Ansible

H[i, I tried with stty but that could  not help. output remained the same.

Here is how i used that : 


- hosts: opr
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
  - name: set the winsize
shell: stty cols 500 rows 500
  - name: Get the debug status
ignore_errors: yes
   
...and kept rest script same.

Re: [ansible-project] Re: How to change remote hosts' terminal screen size/resolution in Ansible

As shown, there is some garbage data coming that file, we can remove that 
using regex. My initial objective it to capture all 500 stats lines in 
variable - stats

 Hi,

 1. login to Debian host machine using ansible

 3. After login into that binary's shell, it  has several commands which 
 displays statistics. Those stats are lengthy and does not fit in current 
 screen resolution. For seen seeing all the stats we have to press Down

Re: [ansible-project] Failed to lock apt for exclusive operation

2020-04-18 Thread George James

Okay, sorry I am new to Ansible and all this is a bit confusing.

How do I set the super password, because now I change it to root, and even 
though I use the flag --ask-pass and pass in the password I now get the 
error `Missing sudo password`

- name: Install Nginx Ubuntu
  hosts: web
  remote_user: "{{ NGINX_USER }}"
  become: yes
  become_method: sudo
  become_user: root
  connection: ssh
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
NGINX_VERSION: nginx-1.17.10
NGINX_SBIN_PATH: /usr/sbin/
NGINX_ERROR_LOG_PATH: /var/log/nginx/error.log
NGINX_HTTP_LOG_PATH: /var/log/nginx/access.log
NGINX_PID_PATH: /var/run/nginx.pid
  vars_files:
- ../vars/global.yaml
  tasks:
- name: Check if Nginx Exists
  stat: path=/etc/init.d/nginx
  register: nginx_status
  become: yes
- name: Stop nginx Service
  service: name=nginx state=stopped
  when: nginx_status.stat.exists
  register: service_stopped
- name: Make sure a systemd is not running
  systemd:
state: stopped
name: nginx
- name: Install aptitude using apt
  apt:
name: aptitude
state: latest
update_cache: yes
force_apt_get: yes

And I run with this playbook with the command 

ansible-playbook nginx_ubuntu_18_04/playbook.yaml -i hosts --ask-pass

But I now get the error 

TASK [Check if Nginx Exists] 

fatal: [142.93.15.195]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Missing sudo password"}

Hello George,

you need to be superuser to install APT packages, but your become_user is "{{ 
NGINX_USER }}" which
is probably not root.

[ansible-project] Failed to lock apt for exclusive operation

2020-04-18 Thread George James

I create a new user using ansible called `nginx`, `nginx` is part of the 
sudo group a, but when I try to do an apt install with this user I get the 
below error 

```
: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to lock apt for exclusive 
operation"}
```

What is the cause of the error and how can it be fixed?

Re: [ansible-project] Re: How to change remote hosts' terminal screen size/resolution in Ansible

How exactly are the stats output on the host?

If the programs that produce them send them to standard output, then one
option would be to run the commands and redirect their outputs to a file.
When all the programs have been run, copy that file to wherever you need
it. Remember to append for all but the first command.

Also, I don't understand what you mean about *(.*):(.*): ''*

A better mechanism (IMHO) would be to write a shell script that generates
all the stats in the order you want them, and either have that script write
to a file or redirect its output to a file. Then just grab that file. If
the stats are to be obtained from multiple machines you could copy the
script to each with Ansible and then execute it. If it's just one host, you
could leave the script on that host. It depends on where would be the most
appropriate place to maintain the script.

Regards, K.

You need to configure the size of the remote terminal, so xrandr won't be the 
correct tool. So you can try
to manipulate the terminal with shell commands (resize, stty).

But I wonder why you can't tell this binary to write output in a file.

[ansible-project] Re: How to change remote hosts' terminal screen size/resolution in Ansible

Also, There is a limitation on remote host - It does not have xrandr 
module. So, changing screen size with xrandr will not be  available :(

[ansible-project] How to change remote hosts' terminal screen size/resolution in Ansible

Hi, 

*Here is the brief about scenario: *

1. login to Debian host machine using ansible
2. Go to corresponding directory where the binary is and execute that 
binary. (This binary is written in c and C++. After execution it ask for 
the userid & password) 
3. After login into that binary's shell, it  has several commands which 
displays statistics. Those stats are lengthy and does not fit in current 
screen resolution. For seen seeing all the stats we have to press Down 
arrow Key or Enter key multiple time until we reach to last stat line.

*How I am doing this: *

*-** hosts: sam*
*  gather_facts: no*
*  tasks:*
*  - name: capture all stats*
*ignore_errors: yes*
*expect:*
*  command: /opt/abc/xyz_Platform/bin/go_xyz_cli*
*  responses:*
*(.*)Username:(.*): "admin"*
*(.*)Password:(.*): "admin"*
*(.*)xyz_cli>(.*): display all debug stats*
*(.*):(.*): ''* 
*register: stats*
*  - local_action: copy content="{{ stats.stdout}}" 
dest="/home/sam/quickstats/stats.txt"*
*ignore_errors: yes*


*Issues Facing : *

1. Multiple similar line gets copied in stats.txt file when above reaches 
to ==>>*  (.*):(.*): ''*  (See above code section marked in blue). Using 
this method to press  key.  
2. Actual stats counts are of line 500 hundred but above code returns 2k + 
stats with repetitive stats and some garbage values appended.
3. If i removes this  portion *  (.*):(.*): ''*  from code, then above 
script only copies 20-30 lines which currently are displayed on screen or 
which displayed in current screen size. 


I guess I can achieve this by changing remote servers' screen size. but I 
could not able to get any such way in ansible. 


May I request you to help me in this ?

You would need to find or write a custom become plugin for suexec:
