Hi Keith

 

Might be worth looking into Ansible Galaxy Roles – following Link actually gives NTP as an example too:

Subject: [ansible-project] Ansible NTP Roles

 

My name is Keith and I'm a Systems Engineer with HPE, Houston, TX location. We use Ansible here for configuration management but I'm new to Ansible and would like your help with Ansible NTP Roles. This is what I have so far:

 

/roles/base/tasks/main.yml:

 

---

 

## PLAYBOOK TO INSTALL AND CONFIGURE NTP ON REDHAT/DEBIAN/SLES/UBUNTU SYSTEMS

 

---

## Playbook to Install and Configure NTP on RedHat/Debian/SLES/Ubuntu Systems

 

- hosts:

roles:

- ntp

...

 

vars:

 

Debian.yaml:

 

--- ntp_package: ntp ntp_service: ntp ntp_config: /etc/ntp.conf ntp_servers: - 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org ...

 

Redhat.yaml:

 

---

ntp_package: ntp

ntp_service: ntpd

ntp_config: /etc/ntp.conf

ntp_servers:

   - 0.redhat.pool.ntp.org iburst

   - 1.redhat.pool.ntp.org iburst

   - 2.redhat.pool.ntp.org iburst

   - 3.redhat.pool.ntp.org iburst

...

 

Sles.yaml:

 

--- ntp_package: ntp ntp_service: ntpd ntp_config: /etc/ntp.conf ntp_servers: - 0.sles.pool.ntp.org iburst - 1.sles.pool.ntp.org iburst - 2.sles.pool.ntp.org iburst - 3.sles.pool.ntp.org iburst ...

 

Ubuntu.yaml:

 

--- ntp_package: ntp ntp_service: ntp ntp_config: /etc/ntp.conf ntp_servers: - 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org - 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org ...

 

handlers:

 

main.yaml:

 

--- # handlers file for ntp - name: restart ntp service: name: "{{ ntp_daemon }}" state: restarted when: ntp_enabled | bool ...

 

defaults:

 

main.yaml:

 

--- # defaults file for ntp ntp_enabled: true ntp_timezone: America/Denver # ntpdate_server: pool.ntp.org ntp_manage_config: false # NTP server area configuration (leave empty for 'Worldwide'). # See: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers ntp_area: '' ntp_servers: - "0{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst" - "1{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst" - "2{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst" - "3{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst" ntp_restrict: - "127.0.0.1" - "::1" ...

 

I need Roles for RHEL 6/7; SLES 11/12/15; Debian 6/7/8/9; Ubuntu 12/14/16. I need the ntp state to be enabled! I don't know if I should use the ntp config file! I don't know if there is a ntp module that I should use! I would really appreciate your help! Some direction would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Keith
