How to exclude localhost from groups when host action is localhost with impossible
I need to specify the entire server in a file using template.j2. The goal is to update the config file with the inventory file. All files are located on an irreplaceable server. I have a generate-projectconf.yml file, template.j2 and an inventory file. The problem is with my method, localhost is also in the generated file. I only need the IP address which is in the inventory file.
My yml file looks like this
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: modif du project.conf
template: src="template.j2" dest="/tmp/project.conf"
file template.j2
...
ServersList
{% for host in groups[servers_to_monitor] %}
{{ hostvars[host]['ansible_hostname'] }} : {{ hostvars[host]['ansible_eth0']['ipv4']['address'] }}
{% endfor %}
...
The inventory file looks like this:
[DB_Servers]
cas05 ansible_ssh_host=192.168.20.105 ansible_user=ansible
cas06 ansible_ssh_host=192.168.20.106 ansible_user=ansible
[MS_Account_Servers]
acc21 ansible_host=192.168.20.99 ansible_user=ansible
acc22 ansible_host=192.168.20.100 ansible_user=ansible
[MS_Admin_Servers]
adm21 ansible_host=192.168.20.79 ansible_user=ansible
adm22 ansible_host=192.168.20.80 ansible_user=ansible
[MS_Admingui_Servers]
ihm21 ansible_host=192.168.20.81 ansible_user=ansible
To run this, I run the command
ansible-playbook generate-projectconf.yml -i /.../inventory --extra-vars "servers_to_monitor=all"
The result looks like this:
...
dep01 : 192.168.20.3
ihm21 : 192.168.20.81
adm21 : ...
