Hi all,
I moved host variables from inventory to group_vars/all:
In one example I have seen on a book seems that, once moved the variable from playbook to group_vars, it is possible to remove vars: section from playbook (like the playbook automagically discover the group_vars/all. If I do that is not going to works. Still I need for vars: into playbook. Please see below. My question is: is it correct that I can remove vars: from playbook or not? In case is possible, what am I doing wrong?
From this:
vars:
cisco_asa:
host: “{{ ansible_host }}”
username: “{{ username }}”
password: “{{ password }}”
authorize: “yes”
auth_pass: “{{ auth_pass }}”
transport: cli
timeout: 60
snmp_host: [10.42.9.61, 10.42.9.62]
tasks:
- name: add new TSDP IPs
asa_config:
lines: - snmp-server host transit {{ item }} community 0 SaNu9eSu
provider: “{{ cisco_asa }}”
with_items: “{{ snmp_host }}”
register: result - debug:
var: result
to this:
vars:
cisco_asa:
host: “{{ ansible_host }}”
username: “{{ username }}”
password: “{{ password }}”
authorize: “yes”
auth_pass: “{{ auth_pass }}”
transport: cli
timeout: 60
snmp_host: [10.42.9.61, 10.42.9.62]
tasks:
- name: add new TSDP IPs
asa_config:
lines: - snmp-server host transit {{ item }} community 0 SaNu9eSu
provider: “{{ cisco_asa }}”
with_items: “{{ snmp_host }}”
register: result
- debug:
var: result
