Nagios play fails

I’m trying to quiet Nagios alerts after a Windows update, but before reboot. I call the playbook like this:

ansible-playbook -l ws0 win_updatelyrisserversB.yml (with or without -u)

Here are the relevant parts of my playbook:

  • hosts: all
    gather_facts: false

tasks:

  • name: win update
    win_updates:
    category: [‘SecurityUpdates’,‘CriticalUpdates’,‘Updates’,‘Tools’,‘DefinitionUpdates’,‘UpdateRollups’]
    register: reboot_hint
    tags:

  • update

  • hosts: all
    gather_facts: false
    sudo: yes

tasks:

  • nagios: action=downtime minutes=5 author=“Dimitri Yioulos” service=host host={{item}}

with_items: “{{ play_hosts }}”

with_items: “{{ groups[‘lyris’] }}”

with_items:

  • ws0
    delegate_to: admin2

when: hostvars[item][‘reboot_hint’][‘reboot_required’]

when: [‘reboot_hint.reboot_required’]

tags:

  • nagios_downtime
  • nagios: action=downtime minutes=5 author=“Dimitri Yioulos” service=all host={{item}}

with_items: “{{ play_hosts }}”

with_items: “{{ groups[‘lyris’] }}”

with_items:

  • ws0
    delegate_to: admin2

when: hostvars[item][‘reboot_hint’][‘reboot_required’]

when: [‘reboot_hint.reboot_required’]

tags:

  • nagios_downtime

  • hosts: all
    gather_facts: false

tasks:

  • name: reboot server
    raw: ‘cmd /c shutdown /r /t 0’
    when: reboot_hint.reboot_required == true
    tags:
  • reboot

The Nagios play fails like this:

TASK: [nagios action=downtime minutes=5 author=“Dimitri Yioulos” service=host host={{item}}] ***
fatal: [ws0 → admin2] => Authentication failure.

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

As you can see from the commented out parts of the Nagios play, I’ve tried several things (many not shown) to try and make this work, if even possible. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
