Re: [ansible-project] Ansible dynamic looping

[Pshem Kowalczyk]

Hi,

If you use the dynamic inventory script (ec2.py) you can use tags to
dynamically create groups. Have a look here:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/getting-started-with-ansible-and-dynamic-amazon-ec2-inventory-management/


kind regards

Re: [ansible-project] Ansible dynamic looping

[Andrew Morgan]

Thanks for your reply, but the issue with that is , the servers in aws get 
removed and created again each build( every 1hr) , so I would need a way to 
get the servers dynamically.Is there anyway to do that? i want to 
dynamically have a list, not create a list of servers in inventory.

with_items requires a list to iterate over. I think one way of achieving
your outcome is to create a group in the inventory and populate it with the
hosts and run the playbook against that group.

[ansible-project] Ansible dynamic looping

[Andrew Morgan]

Hello all,

I have a play I want to run wich deletes all hosts matching a certain 
criteria:

tasks:
  - name: Delete unavailable nodes
zabbix_host:
 server_url: http://zabbix.aa.net/zabbix
 login_user: Admin
 login_password: aq!
 host_groups: Discovered hosts
 status: disabled
 state: absent
 host_name: "{{ item }}"
with_items:
 - ip-10-1-*-*.us-west-2.compute.internal



The above doesnt work, but if I list out the items
with_items:
 - ip-10-1-65-27.us-west-2.compute.internal
 - ip-10-1-65-28.us-west-2.compute.internal
 - ip-10-1-65-37.us-west-2.compute.internal

then it works, but I want it to be dynamic and find all ips matching  - 
ip-10-1-*-*.us-west-2.compute.internal

any help please?
