[ansible-project] Ansible Tower 2.3.1 inventory limiting for job templates

I'm trying to limit job runs to specific machines. The Ansible inventory in Tower has the concept of groups within groups, which is convenient, but I cannot find out how to use that in the "Limit" field during job template creation to do something more specific than choosing top-level groups.

lookup('env', 'HOME) should give you the home dir of the 'current user executing ansible'. Also ~ and $HOME should work with the fetch module. -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

No, its completely batch, you can try the expect module for interactive prompts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Am I missing a flag or setting? I've got "ansible_ssh_private_key_file" set to the full path to my id_rsa file. Is that all it takes to get Ansible to use private keys? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group. To unsubscribe from

The version on my master computer is: OpenSSL 0.9.8zc 15 Oct 2014. I can't seem to find the version on the the clients, which are switches. What I don't get is why --ask-pass works with OpenSSH but private keys don't. I added this to my ansible.cfg and it made no difference but I'm not sure

Hello Paul, Cool it works, I didn't know that this was so much easy :) I tried different ways but not came up with this idea. Thanks and have a nice day! BR, Marcel 2015-12-02 5:12 GMT+01:00 Paul Markham : > Looks like you need single quote around the extra variable: > >

Looks like you need single quote around the extra variable: ansible-playbook fetch-conf.yml -e '{"h":"hostname"}' Using key=value also works: ansible-playbook fetch-conf.yml -e 'h=hostname' You also need a space after 'name:' on the first line. -- You received this message because you

What switch are you trying to send commands to? We have started to incorporate network device support into the module_utils for connecting to interactive devices over ssh with initial support for IOS based devices. See here for the IOS shared module support

no, indeed it worked as I had hoped, and as Roger and Brian spoke of. By using [servers] name ansible_ssh_host=xx.xx.xx.xx it worked just fine. Ran into some other problems, but that's a different post regards, Richard On Wednesday, November 25, 2015 at 11:45:25 AM UTC-5, richard kappler

Re: [ansible-project] Is it possible to see all the commands that ansible scripts run?

In 2.0, with debug=1 in ansible.cfg, you should see the exact commands on the target machine's syslog, but note that not all modules execute shell commands though and that modules might fail on other lines other than the shell command -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are

I think they should 'just work' TM, but this is not a simple one, having dynamic includes makes this an 'interesting' problem, checking with other devs trying to figure this out. -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project"
