* vmware_inventory script improvements
* switch instance finding method to use containerview based searches
* overhaul the serialization method for objects
* Cleanup the debug outputs
* Add a warning about performance
* add cloudforms inventory script
based on the foreman inventory script, features:
* cached results (default 600 seconds)
* paginated host results (default 100 hosts)
* ssl verification (default True)
* arguments to flush cache and run in debug mode
* suggested rework
* removed second cache / dict with duplicate info
* added purge_actions configuration option to remove the actions from a host (defaults to False)
* added prefer_ip_address configuration option so give the option of using ip address instead of name (defaults to True)
* removed self variables — just use the arguments directly
* added --pretty command line option to pretty print results
* renamed _resolve_params to _resolve_host
* implement suggestions
* removed not used import
* added warnings to help debug connection issues
* renamed self.cache to self.hosts for clarity
* now will use the first ip address as ansible_ssh_host
* flipped default for prefer_ip_address config option to false - preserve name, and specify ansible_ssh_host as ip address
* added checks and warnings to configuration options, sane defaults for all except required:
** `url` - the first part of the cloudforms server url (https://cfme.example.com)
** `username` - the cloudforms username to log in with
** `password` - the password for the cloudforms user specified
* removed redundant call to fetch host information (since we’re paging results, no need to split the calls)
* added warning for unexpected responses from CloudForms
* debug for returned sting now prints the string instead of forcing to JSON
* removed no longer needed methods to fetch host information
* using ‘key in list’ instead of ‘list.has_key(key)’
* correctly formatted groups and allowed nested groups
* now create groups for `location`, `type` and `vendor`, with appropriate sub-groups and children
* made to_safe honor config option to clean group names for ansible consumption
* remove prefer_ip_address configuration option
no longer needed since we will specify `ansible_ssh_host` as the returned ip address.
* removed dns_name
no longer needed, will preserve `host[name]` as name in Ansible.
* purge actions from hostvars
changed purge_actions to True
* flake8 suggestion for whitespace
* fix undefined r variable in warning output
use the correct ret variable
* Default purge_actions to True
We probably don’t need them, but it is configurable, so just default to remove them.
* Add configuration option to nest cloudforms tags
disabled by default, the nest_tags option will expand cloudforms tags into a nested group/subgroup structure. Otherwise, it will use the whole tag name.
* added purging the actions
removed in previous clean up in error.
* fixed undefined variable
specified the correct variable for logging.
cache_path is used to calculate cache_dir , the script doesn't actually read cache_dir from this file.
This makes the setting work (otherwise it always uses the default).
* Fix broken indentation in vmware inventory
* Allow script to be a symlink without breaking ini path.
* Add some more properties to the bad_types list
* Encode unicode strings to ascii Fixes#16763
Updated as per @ryansb comments. The EC2 inventory script will now fail
with a useful message when boto3 is not installed and the user is trying
to read RDS cluster information.
When making calls to AWS EC2 api with DescribeTags actiion and if the
number of filter values is greater than or equal to 200, it results in
400 bad request reply and the error message is:
"Error connecting to AWS backend.\n The maximum number of filter values specified on a single call is 200".
The change is so that we call get_all_tags with maximum 199 filter
values one at a time until all are consumed.
Enables an LXC server's configuration as an inventory source for LXC
containers.
In LXC, containers can be defined with an "lxc.group" configuration
option that is normally used with lxc-autostart -g. Here, we are using
the same option to build Ansible inventory groups.
In addition to being grouped according to their lxc.group entry (or
entries, as LXC allows a single container to be in multiple groups),
we also add all containers (including those with no lxc.group entry)
to the "all" group.
* Initial work on Brook.io dynamic inventory
* Handle error cases in Brook.io dynamic inventory
* Remove defaults from brook.ini
* Update Brook.io dynamic inventory for libbrookv0.3
Use authentication api to obtain a valid JWT from an API Token.
* Remove defaults from brook.ini
add cobbler api authentication options: username and password, which
can be provided if authentication is enabled or cobbler api is behind
a proxy that needs authentication.
Add support for a new option to the openstack inventory. This is so
should one cloud be unavailable you can still list hosts from any
other openstack clouds you have configured.
This is exposed as an option under the extra config part of ansible
in the openstack clouds.yaml.
Fix openstack inventory for when we have multiple servers with the same
name but different IDs. Instead of giving every server with the same
name the details for the first server returned with that name add the
individual servers as they are returned.
This was a logic bug where in a loop over a list of servers we always
added the first server in that list despite having more than one server.
EC2 inventory scripts reads configuration from an INI file. The `instance_filters` option controls which EC2 instances are retrieved for inventory. Filling this option and running the inventory script with Python 3 crashes with the following error:
```python
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./contrib/inventory/ec2.py", line 1328, in <module>
Ec2Inventory()
File "./contrib/inventory/ec2.py", line 163, in __init__
self.read_settings()
File "./contrib/inventory/ec2.py", line 393, in read_settings
for instance_filter in config.get('ec2', 'instance_filters', '').split(','):
TypeError: get() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given
```
The problem is the last parameter of config.get() call, because `fallback` keyword argument is not specified.
The fix handles epmpty `instance_filers` in case of Python 2&3
There are cases where the host list back from the cloud comes back
duplicated. This causes us to report those with UUIDs, which we do to
support truly different servers with the same name. However, in the case
where duplicate host entries have the same UUID, we can know it's a data
hiccup.
The OpenStack inventory lists hostnames as the UUIDs because hostsnames
are not guarnateed to be unique on OpenStack. However, for the common
case, this is just confusing.
The new behavior is a visible change, so make it an opt-in via config.
Only turn the hostnames to UUIDs if there are duplicate hostnames.
