Multiple tags per node

[Iohannes Nerevar]

Hello everyone !

I use netbox inventory plugin (netbox.netbox.nb_inventory) to generate my ansible inventory. This inventory is then used by rundeck to generate nodes and deploy various things.

In netbox, I have a virtual machine which has 2 tags. It seems that these 2 tags are correctly reported in the ansible inventory.

The problem is that there is no more than one tag once the node is updated in rundeck.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hi,

Did you set the Gather facts to "yes" in your Ansible model source config?

Hi,

Here's a solution :

netbox_inventory.yml

plugin: netbox.netbox.nb_inventory
api_endpoint: https://@IP
token: @TOKEN
flatten_custom_fields: true
validate_certs: False
config_context: false
flatten_local_context_data: true
query_filters:
  - status: 'active'
device_query_filters:
  - id: -1
  - has_primary_ip: 'true'
vm_query_filters:
  - has_primary_ip: 'true'
compose:
  tags: tags|map(attribute="slug")|join(",")
  status: status.value
  sites: status.value
  nodename: name
  hostname: primary_ip4.address|ansible.utils.ipaddr('address')

Import data :

ansible-inventory -i netbox_inventory.yml --list | jq ._meta.hostvars  > hosts.json

Rundeck Node Source / File :

Format: resourcejson

File Path:/path/to//hosts.json

Require File Exists: Yes

By doing so, Rundeck retrieves all the tags defined in Netbox and these can be used in a job to target different types of nodes.

Regards
