How Can I Manage/Monitor The SLES12 Firewall With Ansible?

We use Ansible to manage/monitor the firewall (iptables & firewalld) on numerous Linux OSes. But I am having trouble setting that up for the firewall on our 10 SLES12 servers (SuSEfirewall2). Can anyone provide some guidance on setting this up? Note that I have seen (and downloaded) the SuSEfirewall2 role by Billy Ray Valentine from Ansible Galaxy, but that role hasn’t been maintained or updated in 5 years. Plus it doesn’t have adequate set-up instructions.

Jon,

if experimenting takes too long: you can activate a repo called
"Packagehub" on SLES 12. This repo contains firewalld ... :slight_smile:

In SLES 15, firewalld is the default.

I use SLES, but no firewalls on my SAP systems :slight_smile:
