How Can I Manage/Monitor The SLES12 Firewall With Ansible?

[Jon Adcock]

We use Ansible to manage/monitor the firewall (iptables & firewalld) on numerous Linux OSes.  But I am having trouble setting that up for the firewall on our 10 SLES12 servers (SuSEfirewall2).  Can anyone provide some guidance on setting this up?  Note that I have seen (and downloaded) the SuSEfirewall2 role by Billy Ray Valentine from Ansible Galaxy, but that role hasn't been maintained or updated in 5 years.  Plus it doesn't have adequate set-up instructions.

Jon,

if experimenting takes too long: you can activate a repo called
"Packagehub" on SLES 12. This repo contains firewalld ... :)

In SLES 15, firewalld is the default.

I use SLES, but no firewalls on my SAP systems :)
