It's a bit hard to understand what needs to be executed where.
I would start out with a playbook and not bother with roles initially.

Re: [ansible-project] Not able to pass hostname as extra var from ansible tower

[Mike Eggleston]

Write the data to a file on the local host then delegate to the local host to read and delete the file, then continue with the playbook?MikeOn Mar 19, 2023, at 12:00, Linux Study  wrote: i am creating jenkins pipe line to pass extra variable and want run playbook on host which i want to pass from jenkins...On Sat, 18 Mar 2023, 19:35 Todd Lewis,  wrote:
  

  
  
Abhi,

Is this "hostname" the name of the host you want Ansible to manage?
If so, why pass that through an extra variable rather than using the
limit parameter?

In Ansible Tower, you have projects which define where your
playbooks are stored and several more parameters such as
credentials. Here's what a typical project looks like.


Each project can have any number of job templates,
where each template allows you to configure which hosts or Ansible
host groups to run the playbook on ("Limit" in the red box below),
what extra variables to use, what parameters to prompt for, etc.
Here's a typical job template.

Note that the nearly empty box below "Variables" would be where
extra variables are defined. This job template doesn't use any extra
variables. When editing a job template, almost any of the fields
shown above can be marked "Prompt on launch", in which case you can
override the default values at the time you launch the job.

Job templates can also be scheduled to run at regular intervals.
Parameters which normally generate prompts can be filled in by the
schedule just as if someone had manually started a job.

So, to address your question, "[H]ow can I add this hostname to [a]
playbook?" If you really want to pass an extra variable called
"hostname" that you can use in a playbook, you do that when you edit
your job template. Be sure to check "Prompt on launch" if you want
to override the default value when you run your job, like this:


In your playbook, you simply use the variable like any other:
- name: My task
  ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "My hostname variable is {{ hostname }}."

I hope this helps. Good luck.

Re: [ansible-project] ansible connection issue on remote RHE5 linux server

[Mike Eggleston]

I built the most current (at the time) Python and installed the Python 
executable in my home directory, then I used an Ansible variable in my 
inventory file (I don’t remember which variable) to specify an alternate Python 
interpreter and things were fine when I had an old Python interpreter on a 
remote system.

I would if I could. The Ansible controller should easily get by with 6G free 
and I can only update to what’s in the company’s update pipeline.

Re: [ansible-project] Getting an error...

[Mike Eggleston]

I don’t think it’s the “register”. I removed the “register” (and changed the 
value of “forks =“ by commenting it out so things don’t take so long) and the 
free memory still goes down:

Re: [ansible-project] Getting an error...

[Mike Eggleston]

I’ve set “forks = 1” and rerun my test which does an ansible-playbook and an 
uptime.
Could it be the register rather than a memory leak?
Here free(1) keeps going down:

[Mike Eggleston]

Does Ansible have a memory leak (that only shows up with a high number of 
hosts)?

Re: [ansible-project] Getting an error...

[Mike Eggleston]

I changed forks = back to 5 (commented out my change) and still I get the out 
of memory error. I removed all hosts that are in AWS so I’m not using the proxy 
in ssh(1). My inventory is down to 4400 hosts. I wonder what’s eating the 
memory…? Any ideas….?

Re: [ansible-project] Getting an error...

[Mike Eggleston]

I’ve not changed “strategy”, but I did change “forks” from 5 to 50.
I have copied /etc/ansible.cfg to ~/.ansible.cfg and changed forks = 50, 
inventory = $HOME/src/ansible/inventory and log_path = /tmp/${USER}_ansible.log.

When I run a stupid playbook with the command: anssible-playbook -vvv 1.yml

for the playbook:
—
- hosts: all
 become: yes
 gather_facts: true

 tasks:
   - name: “remove the file”
 file:
   path=/tmp/getspace.sh
   state=absent

I added the “-vvv” when the previous run told me to. Any ideas what’s going on 
(besides the obvious “out of memory”) and how to fix this?

Re: [ansible-project] Forks?

[Mike Eggleston]

Great explanation. Thank you. MikeOn Nov 1, 2022, at 12:41, Matt Martz  wrote:With 16k hosts, it's possible that you never actually see the max 50 forks in use.  We've made some pretty big performance improvements to large host counts, but you might only see somewhere around 30 forks in use, maybe less, even though you have specified a higher count.The forking limitation is caused by having a high fork count, with a CPU (single CPU core) bound process.  Effectively, we have a single process that orchestrates forking, and processing results.  The more forks, the more CPU bound that process is.  The more hosts you have in inventory, the more CPU is used to calculate variables when spawning workers and processing results.Once the first sets of results start coming in, the process becomes busier, and is unable to process results and spawn new processes to keep the fork count up.  So what happens is results take longer to process, which delays spawning new workers, and before you reach the theoretical max of your 50 configured forks, other forks are exiting, and the process never gets back to the max.So ultimately, what you have to do is baseline your use case, and adjust forks to a more appropriate level.  Decrease forks, or split your inventory into smaller chunks, or do both.On Tue, Nov 1, 2022 at 12:28 PM Mike Eggleston <mikeegg1...@gmail.com> wrote:I’ll look at the docs you mention.

Re: [ansible-project] Formatting date in Ansible

[Mike Eggleston]

I suggest you change the format to year, month then day. This format sorts 
naturally when you use ls(1).
(The command in vi(1) is :!cp -p % %.211216 (or whatever is the current date).)

[ansible-project] A general question about looping

[Mike Eggleston]

I know I can do this from a shell script. I wonder if I can do this in pure 
Ansible.
I was thinking about clusters recently. I know I can use the VM module to spin 
up a VM.
If I wanted 1,000 nodes, how would I loop inside Ansible for the nodes?
Using the shell I would do something like (not tested):

for i in `seq 000 999`
do
ansible-playbook -e nodename=“beofulfnode$i” create-a-node.yml
done

How to do this looping in pure Ansible?

You can also use the Ansible -e and use the variable is the script.

[ansible-project] looping over users?

[Mike Eggleston]

Does someone have a playbook already that loops over users? I have to generate 
a report (I’ll give them a CSV file) of users, a description if I can and if 
the account has access to root (though sudo?)

TIA

Mike

Re: [ansible-project] Should be simple... Seems like command's chdir parameter doesn't work...

[Mike Eggleston]

Well, I changed things around and used the shell module rather than the command 
module. I put “cd {{installdir}} ; sh {{script}}” in the playbook. The full 
playbook is here:

---
- hosts: linux
  gather_facts: yes
  become: yes
 
  vars:
file: "CarbonBlackLinuxInstaller-v6.3.4.10012-Default-Group-210309.tar.gz"
installdir: "/tmp/CarbonBlack-install"
script: "CarbonBlackClientSetup-linux-v6.3.4.10012.sh"
description: "install and start the Carbon Black Reponse agent"
 
  tasks:
- set_fact:
file="CarbonBlackLinuxDevelopment-210721.tar.gz"
script="b9install.sh"
  when: (ansible_host is match("hqd-") or ansible_host is 
match("unix-dev-") or ansible_host is match(".dev") or 
ansible_all_ipv4_addresses[0] is match ("192.168.60.")) == true
 
- name: "create {{installdir}}"
  file:
path="{{installdir}}"
mode="0755"
state="directory"
 
- name: "copy {{file}} to the {{ansible_host}}"
  copy:
src="../templates/{{file}}"
dest="{{installdir}}/{{file}}"
owner="root"
group="root"
mode="0644"
backup="yes"
 
- name: "extract {{file}}"
  unarchive:
src="../templates/{{file}}"
   dest="{{installdir}}"
 
- name: "run {{script}}"
  shell: "cd {{installdir}} ; sh {{script}}"
  register: x
 
#- debug: msg="pwd='{{x}}'"
 
#- fail: msg="doing this for testing"
 
- name: "delete {{installdir}}"
  file:
path: "{{installdir}}"
state: absent
 
- name: "update /ChangeLog - {{description}}"
  lineinfile:
path: /ChangeLog
regexp: "^changeme"
    line: "{{ansible_date_time.iso8601}} {{lookup('env', 'USER') | 
default('UNKNOWN', true)}} {{description}}"
insertafter: EOF
    create: yes
mode: 0644
backup: no

I just realized I don’t need “copy” and “unarchive”, so I’ll remove “copy” and 
test again.

Re: [ansible-project] Should be simple... Seems like command's chdir parameter doesn't work...

[Mike Eggleston]

The file is on the remote host, as shown in the output below the error message, 
but the error message does say the file for “unarchive” "on the Ansible 
Controller”. Why is “unarchive” module looking on the Ansible controller for 
the file?

Below the error message I showed where the file does exist on the remote host.

I looked for a “tar” module; I had forgotten about “unarchive”. I have changed 
my playbook and the relevant changed sections are below. I still get an error:

[ansible-project] import_playbook?

[Mike Eggleston]

I want to provision my servers. I have a provision-1.yml that is run as root 
and a provision-2.yml that is run as a regular user. The sub playbooks are 
individually tested. I did this once before, but I forget how I did it. How do 
I make a playbook of playbooks? This is what I’m trying:

---
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: no

  vars:
playbooks:
  - label: “SNMP”
playbook: “snmp.yml”
  - label: “cron”
playbook: “cron.yml"

tasks:
  - name: “{{item.label}}”
import_playbook: “{{item.playbook}}”
with_items: “{{playbooks}}"

Re: [ansible-project] ssh root access remain closed

[Mike Eggleston]

The thing that works for me is:

$ ansible all -m command -a ’sudo uptime’ -o

I get no errors and I get a response from all my servers.

[ansible-project] intersection of groups in inventory

[Mike Eggleston]

Hi,

In my inventory file I have “[linux]” and “[development]” groups. I want to 
patch the intersection of those groups. I know for one I can “ansible-playbook 
—limit linux patching.yml”, but how do I do the intersection?

Re: [ansible-project] AnsibleUndefinedVariable: 'ansible.vars.hostvars.HostVarsVars object' has no attribute 'ansible_all_ipv4_addresses'"

[Mike Eggleston]

I don’t mind at all. :)

—
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: yes

  vars:
ip0: “”
ip1: “”
ip2: “”

  tasks:
- set_fact:
ip0: “{{ansible_all_ipv4_addressess[0]}}”
  when: ansible_all_ipv4_addresses[0] is defined

And the same for 1 and 2.

I just solved this for me today. I’m away from work so I can’t copy my code. I 
created ip0, ip1 and ip2 in vars, set gather facts and did a set facts using a

[ansible-project] hosts syntax?

[Mike Eggleston]

Normally in my playbooks I say “hosts: all”. For a new playbook I want to say 
“hosts: !A,!B”, but that is not a valid syntax. What is the syntax to exclude 
two hosts (not in a group)?

Re: [ansible-project] ansible taking a really long time

[Mike Eggleston]

This morning the command “ansible all -m ping” took 34 seconds and my 
“standard” command “audible all -m command -a uptime -o” took 15 seconds. Maybe 
it was a fluke. Thank you Joseph for answering. I’ll monitor throughout the day.

[ansible-project] Retrieving a document to a unique name?

[Mike Eggleston]

I will write a program that looks for network devices on its local network and 
created a report of the findings. That’s easy. Using Ansible to push out the 
program and execute the program is easy. But how do I pull the report back to a 
unique name? For example the report is created as /tmp/report. I want to pull 
that file back to a file named /tmp/report-network.txt. What module do I use to 
pullback the file? The fetch module?

TIA

Sudo is too old.
This works:

- name: test (2/2)

Re: [ansible-project] Re: error using "become"?

[Mike Eggleston]

That's an interesting thought.
Ansible isn't required on the remote machine; python is though.
Here's on the remote machine:

DEV App Server 98
appsrv98:meggle1:/home/meggle1> rpm -qi ansible
package ansible is not installed
DEV App Server 98
appsrv98:meggle1:/home/meggle1> python -V
Python 2.7.16
DEV App Server 98
appsrv98:meggle1:/home/meggle1>

Removed Ansible 2.8.5 and installed Ansible 2.8.5.
Same error.
More simple playbook.
Changed "become: yes" to "become:true".
Same error:

---
- hosts: appsrv98

  tasks:
- name: test (1/2)
  command: uptime

- name: test (2/2)
  command: uptime
  become: true

I’ve read variables don’t survive across “hosts” lines.

[ansible-project] execute one task of a playbook locally and the rest on the remote hosts?

[Mike Eggleston]

I'm working on a playbook to deploy an internal application to internal 
hosts. This application is delivered by development to QA in a *.tar.gz 
file. The file is staged and deployed to QA (by me) in that *.tar.gz file. 
What I would like/am thinking of is something like:

$ ansible-playbook remote-group -k -e 
'{"qahost":"qaserver","version":2.75.26.1","path":"/home/app/app_2.75.26.1.tar.gz"}'

and the playbook would be something like:

---
- hosts: v2app
  gather_facts: yes

  vars:
qahost: "{{ qahost }}"
version: "{{ version }}"
remotepath: "{{ path }}"
localpath: "/tmp/{{version}}.tar.gz"

  tasks:
- name: bring file locally
  command: scp "{{qahost}}":"{{remotepath}}" "{{localpath}}"
  local: true

# localpath referes to /tmp, so using it twice means once on the local 
server and once on the remote app server
- name: copy the deployment file from QA locally
  copy:src={{localpath}} dest={{localpath}}

- name: extract the deployment file on the app server
  command: tar -xzf {{localpath}}

# still testing, so using /tmp for all updates
- name: make a copy of the application
  shell: rm -rf /tmp/app ; cp -r -p /opt/app /tmp

- name: sync the new files to the application
  shell: cd /tmp/app; rsync -a {{localpath}} .

- name: clean up
  command: rm -f {{localpath}}

(I'm just typing from memory and haven't syntax checked the above.)

How can I execute a single task of a playbook on the local server and the 
rest of the tasks on the remote servers? (Is this even possible?)

TIA

Mike

[ansible-project] yum interpreter line missing

[Mike Eggleston]

Jonathan made me understand how my previous "can't connect to a server" was 
wrong in my head.
Now my next issue. I'm writing a little playbooks that will eventually go 
into a "provisioning" playbook to make all my boxes the same.
This next block says the interpreter line is missing from the yum module.
Here's my playbook:
# $Id$
# $Log$

# install and configure standard packages
# :!ansible-playbook -u root -k --limit dvlnx115 --syntax-check %
# :!ansible-playbook -u root -k --limit dvlnx115 %
# :!ansible-playbook -vvv -u root -k --limit dvlnx115 %
---
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: no

  tasks:
- name: install package ssh
  package:
name: ssh
state: present

- name: configure ssh - set the port
  replace:
path: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
regexp: '(?i)#Port 22'
replace: Port 22
  become: yes

- name: configure ssh - permit root login no
  replace:
path: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
regexp: '(?i)#PermitRootLogin .*$'
replace: PermitRootLogin no
  become: yes

- name: configure ssh - password authentication yes (1/2)
  replace:
path: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
regexp: '(?i)#PasswordAuthentication.*$'
replace: PasswordAuthentication yes
  become: yes

- name: configure ssh - password authentication yes (2/2)
  replace:
path: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
regexp: '(?i)PasswordAuthentication no'
replace: PasswordAuthentication yes
  become: yes

- name: configure ssh - use PAM yes (1/2)
  replace:
path: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
regexp: '(?i)#UsePAM .*$'
replace: UsePAM yes
  become: yes

- name: configure ssh - use PAM yes (2/2)
  replace:
path: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
regexp: '(?i)UsePAM no'
replace: UsePAM yes
  become: yes

- name: configure ssh - set the protocol
  replace:
path: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
regexp: '(?i)^Protocol 2,'
replace: Protocol 2
  become: yes

- name: enable and restart ssh daemon
  service:
name: sshd
enabled: yes
state: restarted
  become: yes
  when: changed.true

When I run this playbook I get:
[meggle1@dvlnx108 playbooks]$ ansible-playbook -u root -k --limit dvlnx115 
ssh.yml
SSH password:

PLAY [all] 
*

TASK [install package ssh] 
*
fatal: [dvlnx115]: FAILED! => {"msg": "module (yum) is missing interpreter 
line"}

PLAY RECAP 
*
dvlnx115   : ok=0changed=0unreachable=0
failed=1skipped=0rescued=0ignored=0

[meggle1@dvlnx108 playbooks]$

Both ansible master and test box are CentOS and fully patched and recently 
booted.
Jonathan are you looking into this? Some way I can help?

Re: [ansible-project] Can’t reach a server?

[Mike Eggleston]

Mea cupla. You're right. Duh. Of course ansible can't reach the server 
because the server is booting.
I'll look at the other links.

Thanks.

on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and
are transferred to managed machines automatically.

This is the latest RPM available in the CentOS repository. Is there a latest 
RPM available?

Re: [ansible-project] Can’t reach a server?

[Mike Eggleston]

I first used “package” and ansible complained of a missing interpreter line. 
That’s why I switched to “command”.

I’m going between two CentIS boxes. 

All this doesn’t explain why I can get into the box over ssh, but ansible cant 
get into the box.

[ansible-project] Can’t reach a server?

[Mike Eggleston]

What’s happening here? I can reach the server over ssh, but ansible can’t? I’m 
testing a provisioning play. I can ssh into the box with “ssh root@box” but the 
command “ansible-playbook -vvv -u root -k —limit box yum.yml” says “msg”: “SSH 
Error:data could not be sent to remote host \”box\”. Make sure this host can be 
reached over ssh”.

Odd. :)

Yum says it will do a wild card on the update (equivalent to “yum update”). 
Will the module “package” also do a wildcard?

[ansible-project] Modules in languages other than Python?

[Mike Eggleston]

This page: 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.3/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html
states that modules can be in other languages. Are there any examples of this? 
I’m much more proficient in Perl than Python and would prefer to write in that 
language. 

An additional thought... I’m not sure I need to write any modules, but I want 
to know how if I do.

TIA
