[ansible-project] Ansible Playbook running for longtime/indefinitely for windows 2012 R2 Ansible Playbook

[Namasivayam C]

I am new to Ansible and I'm trying to configure windows 2012 R2 from RHEL 7 
Ansible Node. I'm able to establish connection between them using Winrm 
Credssp. Below is /etc/ansible/group_vars/windows.yml file


COMPONENT NAME
urllib3.connectionpool https://192.168.2.211:5986 "POST /wsman HTTP/1.1" 
500 1320


ANSIBLE VERSION
ansible 2.3.1.0

python version = 2.7.5


ansible_user: admin
ansible_password: XXX
ansible_winrm_scheme: https
ansible_winrm_transport: credssp
ansible_port: 5986
ansible_connection: winrm
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore
validate_certs: false

When I execute win_ping module for testing connection from Ansible node to 
Windows 2012 R2 server it was successful.

[root@Ansible-Server playbooks]# ansible windows -m win_ping
XX.XX.XX.XX | SUCCESS => {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}

But When I have tried executing Windows 2012 R2 playbook file, after 
submitting ansible-playbook playbook.yml command, it is continuously 
waiting for indefinite time, as It is not completing.

Below is the log that is constantly displaying same. Waiting continuously.

above log continues/updates same for every 20 sec.

[ansible-project] Re: Using the wait_for module to check ports from one windows host to another windows host

[Jordan Borean]

The wait_for module is a Python module and can't be run on a Windows host. 
You can either delegate to the localhost (Ansible controller) and run it 
from there, or use the win_wait_for module which was added in Ansible 2.4 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.4/win_wait_for_module.html.

Thanks

Jordan

[ansible-project] Using the wait_for module to check ports from one windows host to another windows host

[marcalfa1]

Not sure if i'm using the wait_for module correctly on two windows host.  
I'm getting the error below when trying to check if a port is open from a 
source windows host to a target windows host.
Wondering if i'm using the module correctly or if this even possible when 
both hosts are windows.  I've tried the same playbook on two unix host and 
it worked.

Ansilbe reads the 'root_pass_sirus' variable fine, the problem is that

I found that with /usr/bin/python I cannot import psycopg2, but with

[ansible-project] Re: win_get_url always failing first time

[Jordan Borean]

I'm not sure, there is no difference between the first and second execution 
from an Ansible perspective, you are best off trying to replicate the issue 
reliably. Things to look for

* Whether it is failing at a certain point in the day (is the server under 
load at this time)
* Whether it is the same file
* Whether this is happening on different sites
* Whether this is happening on different Windows hosts

>From there you can hopefully narrow down a set of circumstances that will 
allow you to replicate the issue reliably and then ultimately find the 
cause.

Thanks

[ansible-project] psycog2 is installed but postgresql_user gives error that psycog2 is required

[gearoidibm]

psycog2 has beeen installed using ansible pip module.

The postgresql_user module fails with a message saying psycog2 is required.

pip list shows that psycog2 is installed on the managed system.
ansible 2.4.3, python 2.7.10 
managed system is rhel 7.4

Have I missed something ?

[ansible-project] Re: win_get_url always failing first time

[Thijn Bukkems]

Thanks Jordan.

I'm running ansible 2.4.0.0 on CentOS trying to download a file using 
win_get_url like this

- name: Download file
  win_get_url:
   url: http://servername/Ansible/USA/file.zip
   dest: "{{ ansible_env.TEMP }}\\file.zip"
  when: zip_file.stat.exists == True


I can't find any entry in the server logs, and am mostly confused as to why 
it just happens the first time each day but not all others after that.

Are you able to share some more info like the Ansible version you are on, 
the task you are running. A 500 status code means internal error (internal 
to the http server) and usually indicates a problem on the remote end. You 
need to be able to debug what is happened in the times of a 500 error to 
determine what is happening, there is not much we can do from there.

[ansible-project] Howto read variables from an vaut encrypted file

[neccross9]

Hi all,

the following task may sound easy but actually it fails all the time ...

I want to store my password in a variable and put it into an ansible-vault 
encrypted file.
The content of this file will look like this:

---
root_pass_sirius: "{{ TesT1234 }}"

Now my check.yml shall read the encrypted file, get the password and login

---
- hosts: sirius
  remote_user: ansible
#  gather_facts: no
  become: yes
  become_method: su
  vars_files:
 - enc_vars.yml

  vars:
 ansible_become_pass: '{{ root_pass_sirius }}'


But the login fails with:

FAILED! => {
"msg": "The field 'become_pass' has an invalid value, which includes an 
undefined variable. The error was: {{ Test1234 }}: 'TesT1234' is 
undefined\nexception type: \nexception: {{ TesT1234 }}: 
'TesT1234' is undefined"
}

So it looks like ansible is unable to get the variable out of the encrypted 
file ... but WHY ?

My copy speeds greatly increased when I moved the package source to the

your network speed gets throttled?

[ansible-project] apt_key hanging issues

[David Jones]

Hi I am stuck trying to get apt_key to download a key from a key server.  

Here is my code which just hags indefinitely.

- name: Get upstream APT GPG key
  apt_key:
id: "{{ docker_apt_key }}"
keyserver: "{{ key_server }}"
state: "present"

Here are my vars...
docker_apt_key: "9DC858229FC7DD38854AE2D88D81803C0EBFCD88"
key_server: "keyserver.ubuntu.com"


 
This script is created on the host.


/tmp/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1520452202.6258628-133739762258932/apt_key.py


When I run it manually with the verbosity turned up, I can see that it 
hangs after this line...


# code object from 
'/usr/lib/python3.4/encodings/__pycache__/cp437.cpython-34.pyc'

import 'encodings.cp437' # <_frozen_importlib.SourceFileLoader object at 
0x7ff409266828>



Any suggestions?


Thanks,


David

Re: [ansible-project] Re: ios_facts module unable to open shell [SOLVED]

[Claudia de Luna]

Exactly!  the IOS module is for switches and routers...I was going to point
you to the ASA modules if you were, in fact, working on a firewall but you
already found them!  That is a great idea!  Good luck with that!   I'm
doing similar things for my clients. From initial
provisioning/configuration (generating and applying) to testing and then
compliance reporting.  In a managed services environment it could be very
powerful!

[ansible-project] Re: ios_facts module unable to open shell [SOLVED]

[Otto Nix]

Hi Claudia,

Thanks for responding. I think the target hardware was the problem (I 
should have put that in the original post) , but not sure. It's a Cisco ASA 
5540 running 9.1(7)23. I just got this working using the asa_command module 
(which I didn't know existed). Is there a difference between Cisco IOS on 
an ASA? I have no idea, I'm the Linux guy, not the Network guy so...

Below is the playbook I used to solve my problem:
---
- hosts: ios_fw 
  any_errors_fatal: True 
  gather_facts: no
  connection: local 

  vars: 
cli: 
  host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" 
  username: ans 
  password: XXxxXXxXxX 
#  transport: cli 
  tasks: 
- asa_command: 
commands: 
  - show version 
provider: "{{ cli }}" 
  register: ver 

- debug: var=ver.stdout_lines



This pretty much gets me what I was looking for although getting to this 
point drove me pretty crazy for the past few days. I'm new to Ansible but 
want to use it heavily in our managed services environment. My particular 
plan is to create reports with the output of this play.

[ansible-project] Re: Copy module

[senorsmile]

I have had great success with the synchronize module as of Ansible 2.4. 

In my opinion, your use case sounds like reasoning to create a custom 
module.

[ansible-project] Copy module

[Malcolm Hussain-Gambles]

After further investigation it appears there are a lot of serious short comings 
using ansible directly to build an rpm.
It looks like it's not a fault with ansible per say, just how I'm trying to 
(ab)use it.
The thought occurs about writing an ansible module to make rpms.
Would there be wider interest in this?

[ansible-project] win_get_url always failing first time

[Thijn Bukkems]

Hey guys,

I run into an issue where my win_get_url always fails with the error "The 
remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.", 
"status_code": 500," the first time it is run each night. If I run the 
playbook again a couple minutes later the files download successfully. Does 
anyone have experience with this and can point me in the right direction 
figuring this out? The server is available, as the second attempt works 
flawlessly.

Thanks
Thijn

[ansible-project] while running a playbook, new host is added with new group, so I want to update the running playbook cache to see the new group

[Bar]

hi All,

my playbook is asking for creating a new virtual machine.
the only thing I know about this virtual machine is its group name that 
will be added to the inventory host file later (I don't know its IP 
address).
while this virtual machine is been created and been added to the inventory 
file, my playbook is waiting for it to happen.
after this new virtual machine is been added, my playbook continues running.

I tried implementing this behavior with no success.
the last try is:

- name: wait for the new VM to be added to ansible_hosts inventory (1 hour 
timeout)
  wait_for:
  path: "{{ ansible_host_file }}"
  search_regex: "[GROUP_NAME]"
  timeout: 600
  delay: 10
  state: present
  delegate_to: localhost


- meta: refresh_inventory


the wait_for does not seem to wait at all, and meta does not seem to *update 
*the cache.


moreover, I tried to use "until" with only the meta module and it been ignored.

for example:


- meta: refresh_inventory

  until: groups[GROUP_NAME] is defined


Thank you

[ansible-project] connection to multiple hosts with all different passwords

[neccross9]

Hi all,

I'm new to Ansible, so please excuse myl lack of knowledge 

I'm tryting to handle multiple hosts that need to execute some tasks being 
root.
While it's not a good idea to have all root-ssh-keys stored on one machine 
(the Ansible host), I want to connect to a box using a generic "ansible" 
user and then do a sudo (or su) to root
All hosts have different root-passwords. So I put some in an ansible-vault 
file and encrypted it.

Now I trie to build a playbook, that connects to a group of hosts - using 
the "ansible" user - sudo to root and e.g. 'apt-get upgrade'
According to the hostname, the matching root-password should be read from 
the ansible-vault file.
I know that I can specify the decrypt password with "--ask-vault-pass".
But how to tell the Playbook to look for a certain id, get the password and 
performe the sudo ?


regards

The '' is the same as just pressing enter.
I have escaped []? with backslash since they are character with meaning

Since the prompt POD2_C3560# comes up two times this is a list with the

You can only have one command: in expect.

If command is a prompt its not correctly indented.
And one prompt can only be listed once, the different responses is a 
list to that prompt.


If you would like more help you _need_ to provide the complete output 
when you do this task manually, without it this is futile.

[ansible-project] inventory_dir is still present as a global variable in Ansible 2.4 ?

[ishan jain]

Hi All,

I am trying to understand the changes with Ansible 2.4 that affects the 
usage of inventory_dir variable.

Earlier i was using a static host file and in my playbooks, i was heavily 
relying on inventory_dir to load variable files which in turn was loading 
the target hosts. I understand the purpose of making the inventory_dir as a 
hostvar, what i did not understand is *how can i still access inventory_dir 
directly as a global variable in my playbooks* *?*

To show what i mean, i created a little demo:

*hosts.info*
[locals]
local1 localhost ansible_connection=local
local2 localhost ansible_connection=local



*varsFile.yaml*
#This doesn't work anymore
#moreVars: "{{ inventory_dir ~ 'moreVars.yaml' }}"

#This also works
#moreVars: "{{hostvars[groups.all.0].inventory_dir}}/moreVars.yaml"

#This works and this is what i was using before 2.4
moreVars: "{{inventory_dir}}/moreVars.yaml"



*moreVars.yaml*
#Prior to 2.4, this is how i defined target hosts. I understand this will 
not work anymore
targetHosts: locals

who: MORE_VARS



*playbook.yaml*
---
- hosts: locals
  vars_files:
- varsFile.yaml
- "{{moreVars}}"

  tasks:


 - debug: var=who

 - name: Accessing the inventory_dir as a host var
   debug: msg="Accessing inventory_dir as hostvar -- 
{{hostvars[groups.all.0].inventory_dir}}"

 - name: Accessing the inventory DIR directly
   debug: msg="Accessing inventory_dir directly -- {{inventory_dir}}"




*output*






*$ ansible --versionansible 2.4.3.0$ ansible-playbook playbook.yaml -i 
hosts.infoPLAY [locals] 
***TASK
 
[Gathering Facts] 
**ok:
 
[local1]ok: [local2]TASK [debug] 
ok:
 
[local1] => {"who": "MORE_VARS"}ok: [local2] => {"who": 
"MORE_VARS"}TASK [Accessing the inventory_dir as a host var] 
ok:
 
[local1] => {"msg": "Accessing inventory_dir as hostvar -- 
/home/ij/temp"}ok: [local2] => {"msg": "Accessing inventory_dir as 
hostvar -- /home/ij/temp"}TASK [Accessing the inventory DIR directly] 
*ok:
 
[local1] => {"msg": "Accessing inventory_dir directly -- 
/home/ij/temp"}ok: [local2] => {"msg": "Accessing inventory_dir 
directly -- /home/ij/temp"}PLAY RECAP 
**local1
  
   : ok=4changed=0unreachable=0failed=0local2  
   : ok=4changed=0unreachable=0failed=0*


*So my questions:*
*1) How is inventory_dir still available as global var ?*
*2) Can i continue using it directly or i should 
use hostvars[groups.all.0].inventory_dir ?*
