Re: [ansible-project] Re: Automate Custome Attribute Population - Vmware
"{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution ~ ' ' ~
r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution_version }}" , works
it gives
Ubuntu 18.04
How to get
Ubuntu18.04
Ie remove the space ?
Will try few things .. Any docs Please on this ? where you go these .. ~
' ' ~ :)
BTW yes, "{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution }} {{
r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution_version }}" , worked too , even that
add that space ...

Only issue is
value: "{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution }}"
when: vm_info.instance.customvalues.OS !=
r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution
that Just give Ubuntu ... is it possible to extract the info from setup
module ie below part..
"ansible_lsb": {
"codename": "bionic",
*"description": "Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS",*
"id": "Ubuntu",
"major_release": "18",
"release": "18.04"
},
Hopefully that is also present in CentOS nodes that way .. so the
description part ...
r.ansible_facts.ansible_lsb.description ? will do ..

This should do the trick:
value: "{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution }} {{
r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution_version }}"

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Automate Custome Attribute Population - Vmware
Setup gives :

"ansible_distribution_file_parsed": true,
"ansible_distribution_file_path": "/etc/os-release",
"ansible_distribution_file_variety": "Debian",
"ansible_distribution_major_version": "18",
"ansible_distribution_release": "bionic",
"ansible_distribution_version": "18.04",
I would like to use OS name as
Ubuntu20.04 & not Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
So tried below .. as *value *.. all 3 failed .. any suggestions Please, on
how to concatenate ?

The offending line appears to be:
- name: OS
value: "{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution }}" "{{
r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution_version }}"
^ here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
with_items:
- {{ foo }}
Should be written as:
with_items:
- "{{ foo }}"
###
The offending line appears to be:
- name: OS
value: "{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution }}"+"{{

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Automate Custome Attribute Population - Vmware
Thanks Abhijit, Awesome , it worked
Only issue is
value: "{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution }}"
when: vm_info.instance.customvalues.OS !=
r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution
that Just give Ubuntu ... is it possible to extract the info from setup
module ie below part..
"ansible_lsb": {
"codename": "bionic",
*"description": "Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS",*
"id": "Ubuntu",
"major_release": "18",
"release": "18.04"
},
Hopefully that is also present in CentOS nodes that way .. so the
description part ...
r.ansible_facts.ansible_lsb.description ? will do ..

Hi
Here are my custom attributes
[image: Capture.JPG]
Today these are populated with
community.vmware.vmware_guest_custom_attributes
But that is manually from the file.. it has human error possible
eg Ubuntu 20.04 folks may type Ubuntu20.4
There is facts which ansible gather has the OS info.. eg -m setup -a
"filter=ansible_distribution_version"
Is it somehow possible to get the OS info populated "automatically"
with a playbook .. ie update the custom attributes dynamically with real
time data ?
Any suggestions Please ?
Thanks

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Automate Custome Attribute Population - Vmware
You can do this using dynamic inventory and delegate_to
Here is how -
1. Gather facts about virtual machines
2. Gather facts about custom attributes using vmware_guest_info
3. Compare and change if needed
you can see this playbook
---
- hosts: running
tasks:
- setup:
register: r
- debug:
msg: "{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution }}"
- name: Get custom attributes information
vmware_guest_info:
name: CentOS7_Rest
datacenter: Asia-Datacenter1
folder: /Asia-Datacenter1/vm/
register: vm_info
delegate_to: localhost
- debug:
msg: "{{ vm_info }}"
- name: Update OS information
vmware_guest_custom_attributes:
name: CentOS7_Rest
datacenter: Asia-Datacenter1
folder: /Asia-Datacenter1/vm/
state: present
attributes:
- name: OS
value: "{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution }}"
when: vm_info.instance.customvalues.OS !=
r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution
delegate_to: localhost
