not able to reference fact for network interface in the template

[Greg M]

Helo all,

I wonder if I can get some help with referencing facts in template.

I ma not able to reference:

every time I run my play, the file on the host shows:

carp0_ip=””

and the same line in my template:

carp0_ip=”{{ ansible_carp0[“ipv4”][“address”] }}”

this is the snippet from running: ansible server -m setup

"ansible_carp0": {
"device": "carp0",
"flags": [
"UP",
"BROADCAST",
"RUNNING",
"SI
"ipv4": [
{
"address": "10.0.0.33",
"broadcast": "10.0.0.255",
"netmask": "255.255.255.0",
"network": "10.0.0.0"
}
],
"ipv6": [
{
"address": "fe80::200:5eff:fe00:101%carp0",
"prefix": "64",
"scope": "0x4"
}
],
"macaddress": "00:00:5e:00:01:04",
"mtu": "1500",
"status": "master",
"type": "unknown"
},

host where ansible is installed: CentOS 6.5

ansible version: 1.6.6

host I'm pulling facts from: OpenBSD 5.5

Thank you

Greg

Hmm, can we see a full playbook so we can understand a bit more in context?

template/relayd.yml.j2:

# {{ ansible_managed }}

#

#

# Macros

#

carp0_ip="{{ ansible_carp0["ipv4"]["address"] }}"

webhost="{{ web_server }}"

#

# Global Options

#

interval 10

log updates

prefork 5

timeout 3000

...

# more in the relayd.conf.j2 file, is removed

the web_server comes from variable file, but the carp0_ip is pulled from facts when the play is run

as user ansible, using sudo 

and the play file: task/main.yml:

---

# file: roles/proxy_server/tasks/main.yml

# carp0 interface

- name: carp0 interface file

  template: src=hostname.carp0.j2 dest=/etc/hostname.carp0 owner=root group=wheel mode=0640

- name: install relayd.conf

  template: src=relayd.conf.j2 dest=/etc/relayd.conf owner=root group=wheel mode=0644

  notify:

  - restart relayd

- name: start relayd

  service: name=relayd state=started

# EOF

  Also one more time the snipet  of the command: ansible proxy_server -m setup (the original file was not complete(damaged))

 Thank you for your replay.

after farther testing i was able to reproduce the error

the error only shows on BSD system (Open, Free)

sample host file:

# ansible host file

#

# testing

openbsd_host    ansible_ssh_host=owaa

linux_host      ansible_ssh_host=metis

freebsd_host    ansible_ssh_host=hosta

[linux_servers]

linux_host

[openbsd_servers]

openbsd_host

[freebsd_servers]

freebsd_host

[freebsd_servers:vars]

ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python2

[openbsd_servers:vars]

ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python

[linux_servers:vars]

ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python

sample play file:

---

# test.yml

- hosts: linux_host

 remote_user: gregm

 tasks:

 # name: address (frrebsd and openbsd replace with em0 ans nic)

 - debug: msg={{ ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }}

  

when the play is run against linux box:

PLAY [linux_host] *************************************************************

GATHERING FACTS ***************************************************************

ok: [linux_host]

TASK: [debug msg={{ansible_eth0.ipv4.address}}] *******************************

ok: [linux_host] => {

"msg": "192.168.0.7"

}

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************

linux_host                 : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0

but when  run against any of the BSD system: 

PLAY [openbsd_host] ***********************************************************

GATHERING FACTS ***************************************************************

ok: [openbsd_host]

TASK: [debug msg={{ansible_em0.ipv4.address}}] ********************************

ok: [openbsd_host] => {

"msg": "{{ansible_em0.ipv4.address}}"

}

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************

openbsd_host               : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0

i hope it will help

Thank you
