Hello all
I have a peculiar problem with a relatively simple playbook I have written.
It basically checks 2 servers to determine which one has more than 1 IP and
uses that to set a simp;e fact called "is_leader" for each node.
This fact is then to be used to build an in-memory inventory using module
add_host to iterate through the servers based on the value of that fact.
See below:
- name: Get Server Recycling Order
hosts: "{{ my_servers | default ('localhost') }}"
become: yes
become_method: sudo
become_user: root
tasks:
- name: Set Patching Sequence
tags: always
block:
- name: Get IP addresses of eth0 using nmcli command
command: nmcli -g ip4.address conn show "System eth0"
register: nmcli_output
changed_when: false
- name: Get nmcli output
debug:
var: nmcli_output
- name: Set is_leader variable based on number of IPs
set_fact:
is_leader: "{{ (nmcli_output.stdout.split('|') | length) > 1
}}"
- name: Display if server is ACTIVE (1) or PASSIVE (0)
debug:
var: is_leader
- name: Debug is_leader value
debug:
msg: "is_leader value for {{ inventory_hostname }} is {{
is_leader }}"
- name: Add standby host
add_host:
name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
groups: nodes
when: not is_leader
- name: Add primary host
add_host:
name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
groups: nodes
when: is_leader
#- name: Execute tasks on servers in a specified order
# hosts: nodes
# gather_facts: no
# serial: 1
# tasks:
# - name: Run a command in a specified order
# command: echo "Running on {{ inventory_hostname }}"
# tags: always
The problem is that when this runs, the "is_leader" fact is ignored for
when the condition is false and the standby node is not added to the
inventory. The relevant extract from the execution is below:

I'm not sure what I'm missing regarding this behaviour as it seems like it
should simply work?
Thanks
