Configure all hosts, then create a list of the config for all hosts?
- by AME
I deployed a huge number of hosts with Ansible - which did work very nice. Each host got its individual settings and configuration.
Now I'd like to generate a config file for another system that uses these hosts. For it, I need for every host a part of the generated configuration (the one that configures the database).
Here is an example of the situation with two hosts having different configuration and the other system that uses a part of the Ansible-generated configuration:
host1
ansible configured dbA
host2
ansible configured dbQ
The other system:
host1 = dbA
host2 = dbQ
The values are computed differently (dbQ instead of dbB for host2 for example) if it belongs in a different cluster and so on, making it unpractical to just read out host configuration from the host_vars.
I believe I would need to iterate over the hosts and let Ansible figure out the computed values for the variables like it would when deploying, but I do not know how to put that result in one template.
Please advise :)
