Need to get the network interface status.

Archives Ansible Project

Number of network interfaces varies in our environment and we have atleast 5 variants, hardcoding is not an option.
This playbook need to check {{ ansible_interfaces }} and then get the status of all available interfaces active status.
from the example snippet below

“ansible_eth1”: {
“active”: true,
“device”: “eth1”,

I am trying to set_fact which should return the dict like
“eth1status_active” = “yes”
eth0status_active" = “no”

…
ethxstatus_active = ‘xxx’

I have lost just before the last task

tasks:

  • name: get filesystem
    setup: gather_subset=network

  • name: set fact network_interfaces
    set_fact: network_interfaces={{ ansible_interfaces }}

  • name: set fact
    set_fact: iface_item=“ansible_{{ item }}”
    with_items: “{{ ansible_interfaces }}”
    register: iface_result

  • name: make a list
    set_fact: iface_list=“{{ iface_result.results | map(attribute=‘ansible_facts.iface_item’) | list }}”

Please help me continue playing …

You only need one task like this:

- set_fact:
     "{{ item | replace('-', '_') }}status_active": "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_' + item | replace('-', '_')].active }}"
   with_items: "{{ ansible_interfaces }}"

The replace is needed since dash in variable names is not allowed.
