I've spent most of the day trying to solve this problem and have thus far failed. I am building some playbooks to automate functions in Splunk, and am attempting to convert a list of hosts from an inventory group E.G.
[search_head]
1.2.3.4
5.6.7.8
My expected (desired) result from the debug output of the play should be:
https://1.2.3.4:8089, https://5.6.7.8:8089
I am attempting to complete this by running the following playbook against a running host:
---
- name: Build search head list to initialize the captain
hosts: search_head
remote_user: ansible
vars:
inventory_file: ./inventory-ec2-single-site
search_head_uri: "{{ lookup('template', './bootstrap-sh-deployer.j2') }}"
pre_tasks:
- include_vars:
dir: 'group_vars'
extensions:
- yml
- yaml
tasks:
- name: dump array
debug:
msg: "{{ search_head_uri }}"`
With the template bootstrap-sh-deployer.j2
:
{%- set search_head_uri = [] %}
{% for host in groups['search_head'] %}
{%- if search_head_uri.append("https://{{ host }}:8089") %}
{%- endif %}
{%- if not loop.last %}, {% endif -%}
{%- endfor %}
However, the current play returns search_head_uri: ", "
which tells me that the loop is running, but {{ host }}
is not resolving.
