Ansible之Playbooks的when语句
在使用ansible做自动化运维的时候,大多数情况下都执行某些任务的时候都需要依赖某个变量的值或者是上一个任务的执行结果。如,根据facts信息中的系统版本相关的信息来确定使用哪种包管理器安装软件。Ansible提供when语句,可以控制任务的执行流程。
一个很简单的when语句的例子:
1
2
3
4
|
tasks: - name: "shutdown Debian flavored systems" command: / sbin / shutdown - t now when: ansible_os_family = = "Debian |
表示当节点主机系统为Debian的时候,执行关机操作。
在符合语句中也可以使用小括号:
1
2
3
4
5
|
tasks: - name: "shutdown CentOS 6 and 7 systems" command: / sbin / shutdown - t now when: ansible_distribution = = "CentOS" and (ansible_distribution_major_version = = "6" or ansible_distribution_major_version = = "7" ) |
在`when`语句中也可以使用过滤器。如,我们想跳过一个语句执行中的错误,但是后续的任务的执行需要由该任务是否成功执行决定:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
|
tasks: - command: / bin / false register: result ignore_errors: True - command: / bin / something when: result|failed - command: / bin / something_else when: result|success - command: / bin / still / something_else when: result|skipped |
有时候需要将一个字符串的变量转换为整数来进行数字比较:
1
2
3
|
tasks: - shell: echo "only on Red Hat 6, derivatives, and later" when: ansible_os_family = = "RedHat" and ansible_lsb.major_release| int > = 6 |
在playbooks和inventory中定义的变量都可以使用,如,需要根据一个变量的bool值决定是否执行该任务:
1
2
|
vars : epic: true |
条件语句:
1
2
3
|
tasks: - shell: echo "This certainly is epic!" when: epic |
或:
1
2
3
|
tasks: - shell: echo "This certainly isn't epic!" when: not epic |
如果引用的变量没有被定义,使用Jinja2的`defined`测试,可以跳过或者是抛出错误:
1
2
3
4
5
6
|
tasks: - shell: echo "I've got '{{ foo }}' and am not afraid to use it!" when: foo is defined - fail: msg = "Bailing out. this play requires 'bar'" when: bar is not defined |
当`when`和`with_items`一起使用的时候,每个项都会单独被`when`语句处理:
1
2
3
4
|
tasks: - command: echo {{ item }} with_items: [ 0 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 ] when: item > 5 |

如果需要的话,也可以返回自定义的facts给控制节点。返回的自定义的facts变量也可以用作下个任务的执行条件:
1
2

tasks: - name: gather site specific fact data action: site_facts - command: / usr / bin / thingy when: my_custom_fact_just_retrieved_from_the_remote_system = = '1234' |
在角色和包含中使用when
如果有多个任务都需要使用同一个条件语句控制。可以将这些任务打包到一个单独的任务文件中,然后使用`include`包含和`when`条件语句。条件语句只对包含任务文件起作用,对包含playbook文件不起作用。指定的条件语句会作用到所包含的每个任务上:
1
2
|
- include: tasks / sometasks.yml when: "'reticulating splines' in output" |
角色中使用when
1
2
3
|
- hosts: webservers roles: - { role: debian_stock_config, when: ansible_os_family = = 'Debian' } |
注册变量
在playbook中将某个命令运行的结果保存起来,提供给后续任务使用。如,通过command模块来判断远程节点上某个文件是否存在或者通过执行某个命令的获取其返回结果,并保存起来,下个任务根据获取的变量值来决定执行的具体操作。
register关键字可以将任务执行结果保存到一个变量中,该变量可以在模板或者playbooks文件中使用:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
|
- name: test play hosts: all tasks: - shell: cat / etc / motd register: motd_contents - shell: echo "motd contains the word hi" when: motd_contents.stdout.find( 'hi' ) ! = - 1 |
上边中的例子中,通过注册变量访问返回的内容,`stdout`里面保存了命令的标准输出内容。注册变量还可以使用在`with_items`中,如果其保存的内容可以转换为列表,或者内容本身就是个列表。如果命令的输出本身就是列表,可以通过`stdout_lines`访问:
1

在ansible中when语句的使用还是比较多的,它可以用来控制playbooks中任务的执行流程。类似于程序中的条件语句一样,使得ansible可以更好的按照运维人员的意愿来对远程节点执行特定的操作。
