Re: [ansible-project] Re: Ansible - write only specific output
Hello,
I've seen this use case before. It's easier to build the reporting
directly into the playbook. You can, for exmaple, create a template that
will print what you want for each managed host, and assemble the pieces
later:

I've seen this exact same use case. It's better to build the reporting
directly into the playbook. You can, for exaple, create a template that
will print what you want for each managed host, and assemble the pieces
later:
- name: Get Facts
hosts: 192.168.1.1
roles:
- Juniper.junos
connection: local
gather_facts: no
vars_prompt:
- name: ADMUSER
prompt: Username
private: no
- name: ADMPASS
prompt: password
private: yes
tasks:
- name: Retrieve LLDP Neighbor Information Using PyEZ-included Table
juniper_junos_table:
file: "lldp.yml"
table: "RouteTable"
host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
user: '{{ ADMUSER }}'
passwd: '{{ ADMPASS }}'
port: 830
register: response
- name: Print response
debug:
var: response
- copy: content="{{ your_json_feed }}" dest=/etc/ansible/file-1
Something like adding a template file like:
|{{ inventory_hostname }} : {{ response }} |
Then templating it:
|- name: create part of the report for {{ inventory_hostname }}
template: src: my_template.j2 dest: "{{ inventory_hostname.report }}" |
Then you can use the fetch module to bring it over to the controller
and the assemble module to generate a full report.
Hope that helps,
Hugo

If possible, how do you only write to a file specific info if?

[ansible-project] Re: Ansible - write only specific output
Thanks to all who responded.
The example below is a yaml file to gather data from a Juniper Networks
Switch device.
How would you do it this?

hosts: 192.168.1.1
roles:
- Juniper.junos
connection: local
gather_facts: no
vars_prompt:
- name: ADMUSER
prompt: Username
private: no
- name: ADMPASS
prompt: password
private: yes
tasks:
- name: Retrieve LLDP Neighbor Information Using PyEZ-included Table
juniper_junos_table:
file: "lldp.yml"
table: "RouteTable"
host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
user: '{{ ADMUSER }}'
passwd: '{{ ADMPASS }}'
port: 830
register: response
- name: Print response
debug:
var: response

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Ansible - write only specific output
There's nothing in the ansible CLI that supports explicitly dumping the
output to a file. You could just use a simple shell redirect.
$ ansible -i inventories/aws -m setup all > host-facts.yaml
It's worth noting that the CLI's output doesn't make a distinction between
failed plays or tasks in terms of shell standard in/standard out, all the
output goes to standard out (unless it's something to do with command line
parsing or something lower-level than play execution).
So for example if I remove a pubkey on a host and run the setup module to
gather facts, all the output goes to STDOUT:
xx.xx.xx.xx | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ec2-u...@xx.xx.xx.xx:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).\r\n",
"unreachable": true
}
yy.yy.yy.yy | SUCCESS => {
"ansible_facts": {
"ansible_all_ipv4_addresses": [
"aa.aa.aa.aa"
],

Hi, If you want include task in your playbook, you must only do it : *- include_task: /my_path/.../.../my_file_externe.yml* This answer answers your question ?

[ansible-project] Re: Ansible - write only specific output
Hi, You must create file with extension .yml and beginning this file with "---" at the top. It's simply. And launch file with line command "ansible-playbook my_file.yml" This answer answers your question ?
