外部变量指的是从playbook文件之外获取的数值
lookups file
file是我们经常使用的一种lookups的方式,它的原理就是使用python的codecs.open打开文件然后把结果返回给变量,请看例子
[root@LeoDevops playb]# cat lookups_file.yaml
- hosts: u12
gather_facts: False
vars:
contents: "{{ lookup('file','/etc/sysconfig/network') }}"
tasks:
- name: debug file lookup
debug: msg="the content is {% for i in contents.split('\n') %} ,{{ i }} {% endfor %} "
执行结果如下:
[root@LeoDevops playb]# ansible-playbook lookups_file.yaml
PLAY [u12] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [debug file lookup] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [192.168.93.137] => {
"msg": "the content is ,NETWORKING=yes ,HOSTNAME=LeoDevops "
}
PLAY RECAP ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
192.168.93.137 : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
lookup password
对传入的内容加密处理
[root@LeoDevops playb]# cat lookup_passwd.yaml
- hosts: u12
gather_facts: False
vars:
contents: "{{ lookup('password','ansible_book') }}"
tasks:
- name: debug lookups
debug: msg="true contents is {{ contents }}"
lookups pipe
pipe lookups的实现原理很简单,其实调用的是subprocess.Popen执行的
[root@LeoDevops playb]# cat lookup_pipe.yaml
- hosts: u12
gather_facts: False
vars:
contents: "{{ lookup('pipe','date +%F') }}"
tasks:
- name: debug lookups
debug: msg="the content is {% for i in contents.split('\n') %} -- {{ i }} {% endfor %}"
lookups redis_kv
redis_kv是从redis数据库中get数据,依赖于python的redis库,
[root@LeoDevops playb]# cat redis_k.yaml
- hosts: u12
gather_facts: False
vars:
contents: "{{ lookup('redis_kv','redis://localhost:6379,resource_usage_rate') }}"
tasks:
- name: get_redis_k
debug: msg="the content is {% for i in contents.split('\n') %} --->{{ i }}{% endfor %}"
lookups template
template 跟file方式有点类似,都是读取文件,但是template在读取文件之前需要把jinja模板渲染完成后再读取,
[root@LeoDevops playb]# cat lookup_template.yaml
- hosts: u12
gather_facts: True
vars:
contents: "{ lookup('template','./hehe.conf' }"
tasks:
- name: debug lookup
#debug: msg="teht contents is {% for i in contents.split('\n') %} -->{{ i }} {% endfor %}"
debug: msg="teht contents is {{ contents }}"
[root@LeoDevops playb]# cat hehe.conf
work_process: {{ ansible_processor_cores }}
ip_addr: {{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}
