I am writing an Ansible role to build some Icinga 2 configurations, and the more important is the configuration of a client host in a distributed Icinga installation.
I want to declare Icinga 2 host variables in an Ansible variable which can be passed to an Ansible template to build a new Icinga 2 configuration file, for example:
object Host "client" {
import "generic-host"
address = "123.123.123.123"
[...]
vars.disks["Disks"] = {
disk_all = true
}
vars.tcp["Description"] = {
tcp_address = "foo.bar"
}
[...]
}
I am declaring Icinga 2 host variables (for example vars.tcp["Description"]
in the above example) in an Ansible variable (YAML) like this:
icinga2_clients:
- client:
- vars:
- tcp:
- name: "Description"
params:
- tcp_address: "foo.bar"
Do you any better idea on how to write a better Ansible variable file?
