Zaldy,

-i is not to be followed by a hostname the playbook will be excuted on,
but by an inventory list (either a file name or a host list). You have
to specify the hosts file here, at least that is what the first WARNING
is about

>  [WARNING]: Unable to parse /etc/ansible/TEMPLATES/Cisco_Telnet as an 
> inventory source

The rest is a follow-up error: since the mentioned inventory list has
not been found, there is no 'all' host group and no host other than
'localhost' at all.

My proposal: you should skip the "-i Cisco_Telnet" part of the
commandline and instead put the hostname inside the playbook.

I did the 5v's as you mentioned, and dont know why it is saying that the

Re: [ansible-project] [WARNING]: Module invocation had junk after the JSON data:

[Dick Visser]

Hi


Thanks for using ansible. To answer your question more information is
needed. Could you please describe clearly all of the below:


- What goal you are trying to achieve.

- How you are doing this.

- What problems you encounter.

- Which commands did you run, and what actual output did you get (copied as
plain text - not as screenshots, images, or other binary attachments).

- What do the relevant inventory/tasks/playbooks/code/variables look like.

- The output of ‘ansible --version’

Re: [ansible-project] setting explicit remote shell

[Brian Coca]

if you set these as environment variables, Ansible is not going to do
anything with them, they need to be variables.

ansible_shell_executable: "/usr/bin/ksh"
ansible_shell_interpreter: "/usr/bin/ksh"
ansible_python_interpreter: "/opt/bin/python"

 Also the `environment:` keyword won't affect Ansible itself, any
environment setting for Ansible must be set BEFORE calling the ansible
executable.


In any case, the output seems to show you using `ksh` and the specific
python, so they must be set correctly, just posting the above to
clarify misconceptions.

I'm not sure what is causing the bash error, since the last command
(part of cleanup) clearly uses ksh also:

'/usr/bin/ksh -c '"'"'rm -f -r
/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1587558405.77-115997468659119/ >
/dev/null 2>&1 && sleep 0'"'"''

unless the ssh login itself is forcing bash usage. I suggest tracing
the process on the remote to try to find out what exactly is executed
to trigger that error, since the last ansible command clearly
specifies ksh.

[ansible-project] associating IAM role with AWS redshift cluster in ansible

[Raymond Yee]

I would like to attach IAM roles to a redshift cluster in my ansible 
playbook but don’t see any parameter for IAM roles in the redshift module 
(https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/redshift_module.html). 
Such options do exist in the boto3 library 
(https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/redshift.html#Redshift.Client.create_cluster)
 
and the awscli 
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/redshift/create-cluster.html).
 
Any suggestions of what to do? 


Thanks.

[ansible-project] Extract content in the register variable stdout value

[Josephsimon Arokiaraj]

Hi All,

I am capturing the script output in the ansible play using register and 
using it on another role.  The register value contains some additional 
characters.

  - name: Extracting Hostname

  local_action: command /usr/bin/perl  extracturl.pl {{ url }} port

  register: port


I can get the value in  stdout   "80"   


"stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout": "80", "stdout_lines": ["80"]


Using port.stdout in a another task. Here is the issue. I am getting 
[u'80'] in {{ port.stdout }} . 

  - include_role:

name: roles/telnet

  vars:

telnet_port

 - "{{ port.stdout }}"


Any idea how to get rid of [u''] . Just I need the port no: 80


Any ideas how to do this?


Cheers,

Joseph

Re: [ansible-project] [WARNING]: "register" is not templatable, but we found:

[Laurent HENSSEN]

Interesting, I also just found that.

I did try that : 

---
- set_fact:
"{{ path_list }}": "{{ rrr.results }}"

- debug: var=ansible_facts
- debug: var="{{ path_list }}"
---

where "rrr" is the "register: rrr" part.
And so, I can copy the content of "rrr" (previously registered) to fact 
with any var name and any value.

This should definitively resolve my issue :)


Thanks, 
Laurent

With all due respect, this is a support mailing list, not a chat room.
I will suggest to spend some time doing research first, before firing
off a ton of questions that could have been answered by Googling for
10 seconds.

Re: [ansible-project] Yum update on multiple hosts but using a cusom repo file

[Jack Morgan]

Hello,

Based on the situation you define below, it sounds like you are wanting
to add a custom yum repository to some hosts. Let's look at how you
could go about doing it.

(1) You will need to create a yum repository file on your hosts. This
file will point to your custom repository on your Yum server. You can
achieve that via ansible module(s) or just copy the yum repository file
that you created to each host. You will need to do some research on how
to do it. As others have pointed out, the yum module is a good place to
start. I'm only offering two ways to achieve this step but there might
be others strategies.

(2) You will need to have ansible update your systems. I'm including
part of my upgrade playbook below to use as a reference (I'm on fedora
so using dnf instead of yum). You can have your hosts defined in your
ansible hosts file (/etc/ansible/hosts). I'm not sure your strategy for
organizing your hosts as there is a lot to say here but again some
investigation is needed.

Finally, you could combine step 1 and 2 into a single playbook to have
them be two playbooks depending on your needs. I hope this is helpful.

---

- hosts: fedora
  tasks:
  - name: UPDATE | upgrade packages
    dnf:
  name: "*"
  state: latest

  - name: UPDATE | check if reboot is needed due to new kernel
    shell: if [ $(rpm -q kernel|tail -n 1) != kernel-$(uname -r) ]; then
echo 'reboot'; else echo 'no'; fi
    register: reboot_hint

  - name: UPDATE | rebooting host...
    shell: shutdown -r now "Reboot required for updated kernel"
    async: 1
    poll: 0
    when: reboot_hint.stdout.find("reboot") != -1

  - name: UPDATE | wait for host to reboot...
    wait_for_connection:
  connect_timeout: 20
  sleep: 5
  delay: 5
  timeout: 300
    when: reboot_hint.stdout.find("reboot") != -1

Re: [ansible-project] Re: [WARNING]: "register" is not templatable, but we found:

[Matt Martz]

`register` has never been templatable.  Previously it would create a
literal variable called `{{ var }}` which included the brackets.

When looping and using register, see
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_loops.html#registering-variables-with-a-loop

[ansible-project] Re: [WARNING]: "register" is not templatable, but we found:

[Laurent HENSSEN]

Let me add a quick update : 
- I'm trying to process several paths 
- paths are grouped and so, there are several "list" of paths (because need 
to generate from template and it's different regarding the list)
- objective was to use an compact / easier code (instead of copy existing 
task for a new list, just use kind of "function" ... = include and loop)

It was likely never documented. You can append a "set_fact" task  to alleviate 
that.

[ansible-project] [WARNING]: "register" is not templatable, but we found:

[Laurent HENSSEN]

Hello, 


I'm trying to register a var through a dynamical use of "register" (I mean 
: using a var, like : register: {{ var }}).

Dev updated the code and removed this option (now static only).
I'm not able to find more information about that change and also there is 
nobody connected on the IRC so, I post here.


Bug report (closed without real details) : 
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/57839

Code change : 
https://gitlab.ics.muni.cz/242618/ansible/commit/be776daefed047f0bd45d7441efde046677fd417


The very detailed comment about that (from the bug report) :

sivel  commented on Jun 14, 2019 


This is expected and we will never allow this behavior. Register must use a 
statically defined string.

If you have further questions please stop by IRC or the mailing list:

   - IRC: #ansible on irc.freenode.net
   - mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project

That's it, no more information, I don't understand why and now I'm stuck in 
my Ansible configuration.
I was trying to create a loop of 4 tasks (function like), I'm able to pass 
any vars to those tasks (using separated include: and loop:).
But all this is useless if I can't register results in "dynamically 
selected" variable name.
Final results are input for a template (just after that include task).

So, I have now a "working" function, able to consume any var already 
defined ... but can only register to a unique var (very very useful when 
you are in a loop with MULTIPLE elements and not only 1).
Can someone explain me why this change of behavior and how am I supposed to 
make it works now without the option to "register: {{ my_var }} ?

Let me copy past my configuration so that it will be easier to understand.
What I see with that change to static register : can't loop on tasks 
anymore (or only for basic use).
Pelase let me know how I'm supposed to do that in "a compact way" now (I 
was trying to move from 5x blocks of 4 tasks to 1 include (with loop) of 4 
tasks).

How should I do now to avoid all my duplicated blocks ?

[ansible-project] How to run 2 playbooks in parallel using a master playbook and monitor for any error

[Happy Souls]

Hi,

I would appreciate if someone could share a simple example of running 2 
playbooks running in parallel, called in a master playbook .

smallest of examples of basic tasks would be great.

Re: [ansible-project] Will `with_*` loops be removed once 2.10 is out?

['Felix Fontein' via Ansible Project]

Hi,

also (forgot to mention that in my previous mail), in 2.10 the short
name will automatically redirect to the long name for plugins (and
modules) that were already in 2.9. I.e. with_flattened will continue to
work. (Except if you don't install the community.general collection,
then of course it won't, since it's a redirection.)

The redirect behavior is currently not available in devel (if you have
tried that), but will be hopefully soon...

Cheers,
Felix

you can use "with_namespace.collection.plugin:".

Looks ugly, but works :)

[ansible-project] Will `with_*` loops be removed once 2.10 is out?

[Nick Kakouros]

Is the a way to combine `with_` and a lookup from a collection? E.g. the 
flattened lookup from community.general.

[ansible-project] Help with ios_command Module

[Omar Hegazy]

Hello, i have 2 switches. I wanted to run a command (show arp) and check a 
specific output if exist or not on both. Then, i wanted to run a command 
(show arp) and display the output.

The problem is that since the output i'm inspecting on first task doesn't 
exist on switch1  the next task (Display Output) is not performed for 
switch 1. i don't know why this dependency. I thought that there 
shouldn't be dependencies between tasks this way. How to overcome?

Re: [ansible-project] Yum update on multiple hosts but using a cusom repo file

[Quad Zero]

Hi Vivek,

On each machine, I would run yum update on it. My repo file points to the
server
http://192.168.0.5/rhel6pathes/april/

Thank you.

 You could use variable and reference that variable inside playbook.
 I this way you don't have to repeat on call same path mutiple time
 instead you can call that variable.

Re: [ansible-project] Need help for some logic

[Rahul Kumar]

Thanks stefan !
My question how i can take these 3 dynamic values as a configuration file
which comes with each role.
Example: I want to invoke mymasterplaybook.yml for 10 roles , so  i invoke
this playbook
as >ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml  mymasterplaybook.yml -> This
invocation could be completed if mymasterplaybook.yml takes those 3 params
which are dynamic from some configuration file a below
---
dynamic rolename: something
dynamic taskfromgroupname: something
dynamic group name: something

So if this is the configuration file , it will only include role only named
with "something" and import task from that role named with "something" and
similarly for group name.
Though i might have 100 roles but which will be included depends on this
configuration file .
so my question is : where and how this configuration file should be
written , so that my masterplaybook.yml understand this and takes all
dynamic params from this config file in order to execute the flow.

Rahul

Yes, and what's your question(s) ?

The when condition wouldn't work that way as the value is virtually wrapped 
into a Jinja template, so try:

when: dynamic_group_name in group_names

[ansible-project] Need help for some logic

[Rahul Kumar]

Hi Ansible Gurus,
I have below playbook in one git repository:  mymasterplaybook.yml
- name: Do some test
  include_role:
name: mytestrole
tasks_from: test-server-names
  when: "'testing-group-name' in group_names"`

Now I  invoke above playbook with a existing role named "mytestrole" and
task in it as "test-server-names" and group name is testing-group-name.It
works fine.

Now what i want tasks_from , name of role and group name as dynamic : so my
mymasterplaybook.yml will look like as below
  - name: Do some test
  include_role:
name: {{dynamic role name}
tasks_from: {{dynamic task name from role}}
  when: "{{dynamic group name}' in group_names"`

so that any role can be plugged into that !
So whenever some one writes roles , they write 2 things
1. Role
2. some configuration file which contains  "dynamic role name", "dynamic
task name from role", "dynamic group name" as configurable items so that it
can be plugged in master playbook named mymasterplaybook.yml as shown
above.
and this configuration file will work as an interface between role and
master playbook (named mymasterplaybook.yml) for entire execution.

Rahul
