<h1>Ansible Modules<a class="headerlink" href="#ansible-modules" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Ansible ships with a number of modules (called the ‘module library’)
|
|
that can be executed directly on remote hosts or through <a class="reference internal" href="playbooks.html"><em>Playbooks</em></a>.
|
|
Users can also write their own modules. These modules can control system
|
|
resources, like services, packages, or files (anything really), or
|
|
handle executing system commands.</p>
|
|
<p>Let’s review how we execute three different modules from the command line:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>ansible webservers -m service -a "name=httpd state=running"
|
|
ansible webservers -m ping
|
|
ansible webservers -m command -a "/sbin/reboot -t now"</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Each module supports taking arguments. Nearly all modules take <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">key=value</span></tt>
|
|
arguments, space delimited. Some modules take no arguments, and the
|
|
command/shell modules simply take the string of the command you want to run.</p>
|
|
<p>From playbooks, Ansible modules are executed in a very similar way:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>- name: reboot the servers
|
|
action: command /sbin/reboot -t now</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>All modules technically return JSON format data, though if you are using the
|
|
command line or playbooks, you don’t really need to know much about
|
|
that. If you’re writing your own module, you care, and this means you do
|
|
not have to write modules in any particular language – you get to choose.</p>
|
|
<p>Modules are <cite>idempotent</cite>, meaning they will seek to avoid changes to the system unless a change needs to be made. When using Ansible
|
|
playbooks, these modules can trigger ‘change events’ in the form of notifying ‘handlers’
|
|
to run additional tasks.</p>
|
|
<p>Let’s see what’s available in the Ansible module library, out of the box:</p>

program will take a single configuration file and does not support a

conf.d style structure where it is easy to build up the configuration

<p>The given command will be executed on all selected nodes. It will not
|
|
be processed through the shell, so variables like “$HOME” and
|
|
operations like “<”, “>”, “|”, and “&” will not work. As such, all
|
|
paths to commands must be fully qualified.</p>
|
|
<p>NOTE:: If you want to run a command through the shell (say you are using
|
|
‘<’, ‘>’, ‘|’, etc), you actually want the ‘shell’ module instead.
|
|
The ‘command’ module is much more secure as it’s not affected by the user’s environment.</p>

<p>Executes a low-down and dirty SSH command, not going through the module subsystem.</p>
|
|
<p>This is useful and should only be done in two cases. The first case is installing
|
|
python-simplejson on older (python 2.4 and before) hosts that need it as a dependency
|
|
to run modules, since nearly all core modules require it. Another is speaking to any

devices such as routers that do not have any Python installed. In any other case,

using the ‘shell’ or ‘command’ module is much more appropriate.</p>

<p>Arguments given to ‘raw’ are run directly through the configured remote shell and

only output is returned. There is no error detection or change handler support

<p>More ansible facts will be added with successive releases.</p>

<p>If facter or ohai are installed, variables from these programs will

also be snapshotted into the JSON file for usage in templating. These

|
variables are prefixed with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">facter_</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ohai_</span></tt> so it’s easy to

tell their source.</p>

<p>All variables are bubbled up to the caller. Using the ansible facts and choosing

<p>NOTE:: If you want to execute a command securely and predicably, it may
|
|
be better to use the ‘command’ module instead. Best practices
|

when writing playbooks will follow the trend of using ‘command’
|
|
unless ‘shell’ is explicitly required. When running ad-hoc commands,
|
|
use your best judgement.</p>
