怎麼使用 setup 取得 Managed node 的 facts?

13. 怎麼使用 setup 取得 Managed node 的 facts?

使用 Playbooks 時,Ansible 會自動執行 setup module 以蒐集各個 Managed node 的 facts。對凍仁而言這個 facts 就如同系統變數般的存在,從 IP 位址、作業系統、CPU 等資訊應有盡有。

官方文件介紹如下:

This module is automatically called by playbooks to gather useful variables about remote hosts that can be used in playbooks. It can also be executed directly by /usr/bin/ansible to check what variables are available to a host. Ansible provides many facts about the system, automatically.

Ad-Hoc Commands

凍仁一般會先使用 Ad-Hoc Commands 呼叫 setup 看看有哪些用的上的資訊,這對撰寫些較複雜的 Playbooks 時是很有用的。

底下凍仁將使用 chusiang/ansible-managed-node:ubuntu-14.04 這個 Docker image 作為 Managed node。

  1. 藉由 less 快速搜尋所有的變數。

$ ansible all -m setup | less
server1 | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "ansible_all_ipv4_addresses": [
            "172.19.0.2"
        ],
        "ansible_all_ipv6_addresses": [
            "fe80::42:acff:fe13:2"
        ],
        "ansible_architecture": "x86_64",
        "ansible_bios_date": "03/14/2014",
        "ansible_bios_version": "1.00",
        "ansible_cmdline": {
            "com.docker.database": "com.docker.driver.amd64-linux",
            "com.docker.driver": "com.docker.driver.amd64-linux,",
            "console": "ttyS0",
            "earlyprintk": "serial",
            "mobyplatform": "mac",
            "ntp": "gateway"
        },
        "ansible_date_time": {
            "date": "2016-12-13",
:
  1. 搭配 filter 將發行版本 (distribution) 的資訊給過濾出來。

$ ansible all -m setup -a "filter=ansible_distribution*"
server1 | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "ansible_distribution": "Ubuntu",
        "ansible_distribution_major_version": "14",
        "ansible_distribution_release": "trusty",
        "ansible_distribution_version": "14.04"
    },
    "changed": false
}
  1. 取得套件管理員的種類資訊,此例取得的值為 apt

$ ansible all -m setup -a "filter=ansible_pkg_mgr"
server1 | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "ansible_pkg_mgr": "apt"
    },
    "changed": false
}

撰寫跨 Linux distribution 的 Playbooks

取得 ansible_pkg_mgr 後,我們可以 Playbooks 裡加個判斷式使用。

  1. 建立支援 Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS 安裝 Vim 的 playbook。

$ vim setup_vim.yml
---

- name: Setup the vim 
  hosts: all
  become: true
  tasks:

    # Debian, Ubuntu.
    - name: install apt packages
      apt: name=vim state=present
      when: ansible_pkg_mgr == "apt"

    # CentOS.
    - name: install yum packages
      yum: name=vim-minimal state=present
      when: ansible_pkg_mgr == "yum"

# vim:ft=ansible :
  1. 執行 playbook,且當條件不符時,即會跳過該 task。。

$ ansible-playbook setup_vim.yml

PLAY [Setup the vim] **************************************************

TASK [setup] **********************************************************
ok: [server1]

TASK [install apt packages] *******************************************
changed: [server1]

TASK [install yum packages] *******************************************
skipping: [server1]

PLAY RECAP ************************************************************
server1           : ok=2    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0

後語

setup module 是每位 Ansibler 一定會接觸到的!我們可以善加利用它,並與各種需求搭配使用,這樣會讓 Playbooks 更具彈性且易於維護。
