Tips

For my ansible playbooks, I wanted to be able to add several new templates to be copied to target system, and additionally be able to perform some commands for them without having to specify each individual file/template to copy. My approach: Define for the hosts I want to find templates/playbooks define a var named extras for the relevant hosts: extras: - ntp - certificates The names defined (in above example ntp and certificates) are just name of folders laying inside tasks/templates/${folder} that are searched and included or excluded based on extras values....

Use sorted list for included files vs random provided by with_fileglob. - name: Include tasks include_tasks: "{{item}}" loop: "{{ query('fileglob', 'tasks/*.yaml') | sort }}"

Check agent status per state watch -d "oc get agent -A -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{@.status.debugInfo.state}{\"\n\"}{end}' |sort | uniq --count"
