Based on Variable defined template should behave

[Prady A]

Hello experts,

Need one little suggestion on below ..

Below is my current code .

- name: set /etc/motd for abcd servers

  template:

    src: etc-motd.j1

    dest: /etc/motd

    owner: root

    group: root

    mode: 0644

    backup: yes

  when: 

       - is_us

 

Template: etc-motd.j1

REMINDER: This is {{ ansible_hostname }}, a {{ ansible_local.function }} server of {{ ansible_local.project }}, owned by {{ ansible_local.bu }}

Now the problem is when ansible_local.lob is defined then the above ansible_local.bu should be replaced by ansible_local.lob but if not defined then it should use ansible_local.bu. 

I know if I write two templates one is for bu and one is for lob the it might solve.  Like below . But it will too much change for this requirement I guess . Any better idea will be appreciated. 

- name: set /etc/motd for abcd servers

  template:

    src: etc-motd.j1

    dest: /etc/motd

    owner: root

    group: root

    mode: 0644

    backup: yes

  when: 

       - is_us

       - ansible_local.lob is defined 

 

template1: etc-motd.j1

REMINDER: This is {{ ansible_hostname }}, a {{ ansible_local.function }} server of {{ ansible_local.project }}, owned by {{ ansible_local.lob }}

===

- name: set /etc/motd for abcd servers

  template:

    src: etc-motd.j2

    dest: /etc/motd

    owner: root

    group: root

    mode: 0644

    backup: yes

  when: 

       - is_us

       - ansible_local.lob is not defined 

 

Template: etc-motd.j2

REMINDER: This is {{ ansible_hostname }}, a {{ ansible_local.function }} server of {{ ansible_local.project }}, owned by {{ ansible_local.bu }}

Regards

Template: etc-motd.j1

REMINDER: This is {{ ansible_hostname }}, a {{ ansible_local.function }} server of {{ ansible_local.project }}, owned by {{ ansible_local.lob | default(ansible_local.bu) }}

If you are asking what the latest version of Ansible is (nothing to do with
the topic you posted this question in) then this may help:

Hi Lewis 

Your advice worked like a charm. Thank u again . I replaced this piece of code with yours.

{% if variable is defined %}

    value of variable: {{ variable }}

{% else %}

    variable is not defined

{% endif %}

But can we extend you piece of code to take the default value except for Amazon servers. 

Amazon servers = ansible_local.bu

!Amazon servers = ansible_local.lob

Regards 

PD
