Hi Vladimir,

I have tried with your suggestion and got following error.

---
fatal: [172.19.251.173]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check
'hostvars['hostname1']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] == 'CentOS''

Hi Vladimir,

hostname1 is defined in my inventory file. Here is the yml file snippet

- hosts: hostname2
  gather_facts: true
  tasks:
-
  file:
   path: "/home/ansible_user/controller3/file_name"
   state: touch
  when: "hostvars['hostname1']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] ==
'CentOS'"

When I comment'when'this code runs fine. Please suggest.

Re: [ansible-project] How to use variables from one task in another task

[Srinivas Naram]

Hello

- debug:
 var: hostvars

shows all the hosts in my inventory file, so I believe my playbook has
access to all hosts. To hash out issue with inventory file, I modified my
code as below.

--

- hosts: *hostname2*
  tasks:
-
  file:
   path: "/home/ansible_user/from_controller3/file_name"
   state: touch
  when: "hostvars['*hostname2*']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] ==
'CentOS'"

-

*hostname2 *is mentioned near hosts and near when. I still get following
error

--
FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check
'hostvars['hostname2']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] == 'CentOS''
failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional
(hostvars['hostname2']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] == 'CentOS'):
\"hostvars['hostname2']\" is undefined

--

Any thoughts ?

[ansible-project] How to use variables from one task in another task

[Srinivas Naram]

Hello Ansible Gurus,

I am new to Ansible and trying to get my hands dirty on playbooks. I wrote 
an yaml file to use a variable from one host tasks to another. Here is my 
code ( logically this code may not make sense in real world, I am trying to 
understand features in Ansible ) 


---
-
  hosts: modified_user1
  tasks:
-
  name: "test connection"
  ping: 
  register: result
-
  debug:
var: result
  when: result is succeeded
-
  file:
   path: "/home/ansible_user/from_controller3/file_name"
   state: touch
  when: result is succeeded

-
  hosts: modified_user2
  tasks:
- name: "create a file in the directory"
  file:
   path: "/home/ansible_user/from_controller4/file_name"
   state: touch
  when: result is succeeded
-
  debug:
   var: result



Is there a provision to pass 'result' variable to second host ?

Re: [ansible-project] How to use variables from one task in another task

[Srinivas Naram]

Hi Kai,

I have been trying various ways to get my playbook working by using
hostvars.

Here are some of the ways I have tied, with no luck

*Trial1* :  when: {{
hostvars['hostname1]['ansible_facts']['distribution']}} == "CentOS"

*Trial2*: when: ansible_facts['hostname1']['distribution'] == "CentOS"

Can you help me with this?

Thanks
Srini.

Re: [ansible-project] How to use variables from one task in another task

[Srinivas Naram]

Kai,

I don't think it an issue with gather facts. Take a look at below code.

- hosts: *hostname2*
  tasks:
-
  file:
   path: "/home/ansible_user/from_controller3/file_name"
   state: touch
  when: "hostvars['*hostname2*']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] ==
'CentOS'"

-

*hostname2 *is mentioned near hosts and near when. I still get following
error

--
FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check
'hostvars['hostname2']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] == 'CentOS''
failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional
(hostvars['hostname2']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] == 'CentOS'):
\"hostvars['hostname2']\" is undefined

Any thoughts ?

Hi Manish,

I was facing same issue yesterday. To troubleshoot the issue I have

[ansible-project] Encrypted Password in Playbook

[Srinivas Naram]

Hi All,

I am trying to use Ansible vault encrypted password in my playbook and 
don't see clear documentation on how to use it.

Here is what I did so far -

In ansible.cfg I have set the 'vault_password_file'. 

I have all my playbooks in a directory called devplaybooks. I have created 
a sub-directory in devplaybooks directory with name 'vault' and executed 
following command

ansible-vault create passwords

Contents in passwords file : ansible_password= secret123

In my inventory file I have created host vars

[:vars]
ansible_user=root
ansible_password=!vault



When I execute the playbook it throws up an error

TASK [Gathering Facts] 

fatal: []: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Invalid/incorrect 
username/password. Authentication failed.", "unreachable": true}



When I change the host vars to following the playbook is executing 
successfully


[:vars]
ansible_user=root
ansible_password= secret123



Can you please help me figure out my mistake or point me to right 
documentation. How does my playbook know my password file ?

Re: [ansible-project] Encrypted Password in Playbook

[Srinivas Naram]

Hello Vladimir,

Thanks for your reply.

I am trying to maintain password (encrypted using ansible-vault) and my
playbook (clear-text) in separate files. If I understand correctly the
below URL is suggesting to encrypt the password string and copy the same in
my playbook.

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html#use-encrypt-string-to-create-encrypted-variables-to-embed-in-yaml


Am I reading this correctly? Please help.

Re: [ansible-project] Encrypted Password in Playbook

[Srinivas Naram]

Hello Vladimir

I have followed exactly same steps mentioned above and I see different
errors now.

My steps

- Set the Ansible Vault password file Env variable
- Create the vault encrypted file
- Create directories and copy files in specific location. My dir structure
playbooks
   |- vault
  |-testing.yml
  |-host_vars
   |- 192.168.249.107
|- test.yml

I get following error

Error - ERROR! failed to combine variables, expected dicts but got a 'dict'
and a 'AnsibleUnicode':{} "testing123:sensitive"

When I change the directory structure in host_vars to groupname
playbooks
   |- vault
  |-testing.yml
  |-host_vars
   |- ansible_enddevice_2
|- test.yml

I get different message

ok: [ 192.168.249.107 ] => { "testing123": "VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!" }

My inventory file structure

[ansible_enddevice_2]
192.168.249.107

Re: [ansible-project] Encrypted Password in Playbook

[Srinivas Naram]

Ok, I found the solution myself. Group or host variables should have
different directory. There is no need of explicit mention such as  in the playbook, but create a directory called group_vars or
host_vars in the directory where the playbook is placed.

these directories will have files with variables you want to define. File
structure should be in yml format.

[ansible-project] How to configure prompt with 2 inputs

[Srinivas Naram]

Hello Gurus

I am working on ios_command module. This modules facilitates in execute 
commands on Cisco IOS devices.

While running 'reload' command it is prompting for 2 inputs, 

"System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]" > yes
"Proceed with reload? [confirm]   > return character here

I tried using prompts, but looks like it does not support providing answers 
for 2 questions in 1 command. Tried expect module (could not get this 
working)

Any suggestions?

My code snippet:

ios_command:
   commands:
   - command: 'reload'
 prompt:
 -  "System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]" 
 -  "Proceed with reload? [confirm] 
answer:
   - "\r"
   - 'yes'

Re: [ansible-project] telnet issue

[Srinivas Naram]

Some time back just to test telnet module, I tried telnet for devices which
had ssh as well as telnet access. However I was not successful and gave up.
If you get this working, kindly reply with the solution.

Thanks
Srinivas.

 Can you connect to your IOS devices normally, i.e. outside Ansible?

 If yes, then I have no idea what's going on, but if not, get that
 working first before you try doing it with Ansible.

 Off the cuff theory is that the devices do not permit telnet
 connections...

Re: [ansible-project] Ansible Command is not completing in playbook

[Srinivas Naram]

What errors are you seeing when playbook exits ?

I presume that you are seeing a timeout error. This is because tcpdump is
taking too long to fill the file.

following link might help -

Are you able to connect to Cisco Switch from Ansible server via ssh ? The

Username, Password is null. How are you passing user credentials ?

Would it be possible to share playbook ?

Re: [ansible-project] How to split value from list

Hello Jenisha,

Assuming that you are getting this value from /etc/passwd., try to change
you command

 tail -1 /etc/passwd | awk '{split($0,a,":"); print a[1]}'

Re: [ansible-project] ansible check and diff mode not working

[Srinivas Naram]

Hello Shyam

It is how the output is displayed. In your output updates are showing the
difference in running config and your cfg file.

"updates": [
"configure ntp server add x.x.x.x"
],

I don't see any issue with the output. Did you try changing the ntp setting
on the device yourself and check out the difference in output ?

[Srinivas Naram]

Hello - is this log file located in the server where Ansible is installed
or remote server ?

[Srinivas Naram]

Not sure how you are initiating your playbooks. Here is what I did.

I initiated my playbooks from a shell script and parsed the output in the
script.

Re: [ansible-project] How to structure variables to distinguish different environments

[Srinivas Naram]

There could be some distinction between both the environments. Can you use
gather_facts and get the differentiating value ?

if you are able to get it using gather_facts, you can use set_facts

Example

set_facts:
   nfs_server: xyx
when: ansible_distribution= 'CentOS'

set_fact:
   nfs_server: abc
when: ansible_distribution ='Ubuntu'

Re: [ansible-project] Sending ansible output to python function

[Srinivas Naram]

Did you try to initiate Ansible playbook from Python code and capture
Ansible output directly in the Python code ?

You can use os module for it. Try using os.system('ansible-playbook

Re: [ansible-project] Accessing Network Devices via Jump Hosts

[Srinivas Naram]

I have a similar question. In one of the environment, Application server
(in which ansible is installed) is located in Green network and actual
network devices are located in Red Network. Connection from Green network
to Red Network is only by a VPN connection. Is there a possibility in
Ansible to connect from Green net to red net via VPN ?
