Using ansible 2.0.2.0, I want to deploy a file to destination server. The destination folder is different on Debian and RedHat family.
I have used set_fact, but it seems that it used the last defined, ignoring the when: option.
I don't want to use variable files, because this variable is only used in this particular playbook
Duplicating the copy task into RedHat and Debian, while possible, will complicate maintenance in the future.
The playbook below will fail when executed against Ubuntu server because destination was expanded to become /etc/nrpe.d which is for RedHat
- set_fact:
destination: "/etc/nagios/nrpe.d/"
when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
- set_fact:
destination: "/etc/nrpe.d/"
when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat"
- name: Ensure Nagios custom checks directory exists
file: path=/usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins state=directory mode=0755
- name: Install check_cpu_steal
copy: src=eprepo/sysadmin/nagios_checks/check_cpu_steal dest=/usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_cpu_steal mode=0755 owner=root group=root
- name: Install check_cpu_steal command to /etc/nrpe.d
copy: src=eprepo/sysadmin/files/check_cpu_steal.conf dest="{{ destination }}/check_cpu_steal.conf mode=0644 owner=root group=root"
