Hi all…
I’ve a list of dicts like the below:
`
client_destinations:
apache-servers:
pre_cmd: ‘$template custom,“/logs/apache-servers/%source%.log”’
rules:
- var: ‘$syslogfacility-text’
operator: ‘contains’
search: ‘local5’
destination: ‘-?custom’
path: ‘/logs/apache-servers/*.log’ - var: ‘$syslogtag’
search: ‘apache-access:’
operator: ‘contains’
destination: ‘/logs/apache-servers/access.log’ - var: ‘$syslogtag’
search: ‘apache-error:’
operator: ‘contains’
destination: ‘/logs/apache-servers/error.log’ - destination: ‘/logs/apache-servers/other.log’
old-web:
rules:
- var: ‘$syslogfacility-text’
operator: ‘==’
search: ‘local3’
destination: ‘/logs/web/dyn.log’ - var: ‘$syslogfacility-text’
operator: ‘==’
search: ‘local2’
destination: ‘/logs/web/activity.log’
mx-catchall:
rules:
- destination: ‘/logs/mx/mail.log’
switches:
pre_cmd: ‘$template network,“/logs/network/%source%.log”’
rules:
- destination: ‘-?network’
path: ‘/logs/network/*.log’
`
I need to form a “list” of values of destination (which are mostly file-paths). But, in case of rules that have non-file path values (like ‘-?custom’, ‘-?network’) in destination, I need to ignore this value, and instead, get the value of path. So far, I have come up with a task that generates logf_dest, a “list”, ignoring non-file paths:
`
- name: Collect log destinations
set_fact:
logf_dest: “{{ client_destinations.values() | map(attribute=‘rules’) | list | flatten | map(attribute=‘destination’) | reject(‘match’, ‘-[?]’) | list }}”
`
The downside to this is that while it successfully ignores destination that has non-file path values, it doesn’t include the corresponding value of path in place of the ignored destination value. How do I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
