如何比较ansible中动态清单中的变量

Question

我一直在尝试创建一个剧本来比较来自不同主机的文件的数量。

  - shell: << code to count number of lines >> 
    register: record_count

  - debug:
      msg: "The count is {{ record_count.stdout }}"

- hosts: localhost
  tasks:

  - name: Fail if the count doesnt match
    fail:
      msg: "The record count is not matching on both the export files."
    when: "{{ hostvars[groups.apa[0].record_count.stdout }} != {{ hostvars[groups.apa[1].record_count.stdout }}"

但由于我们的库存非常动态，我们似乎无法利用主机组。我也尝试过将清单主机名保存在一个变量上，但据我所知，它保存在托管主机上而不是保存在我将进行比较的本地主机上，而且我无法使 hostvars 工作

  - name: get current record count in from Latest ldapexport file
    shell: << count code here >>
    register: record_count

  - name: save inventory hostname to variable 1
    set_fact:
        server1: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    when: server1 is not defined
    run_once: true

  - debug:
      msg: value of Server 1 is {{ server1 }}

  - name: save inventory hostname to variable 2
    set_fact:
        server2: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    when: server1 is defined and server2 is not defined

  - debug:
      msg: value of Server 2 is {{ server2 }}

  - name: compare
    debug:
      msg: they are equal
    when: "{{ hostvars[vars[server1]].record_count.stdout }} == {{ hostvars[vars[server2]].record_count.stdout }}"
    delegate_to: localhost
    run_once: true

任何想法将不胜感激。谢谢！

Q: "... it saves on the managed host and not on the localhost ..."

答：运行第二场和同一个主持人玩run_once: truedelegate_to: localhost任务。比如下面的盘点和剧本

shell> cat hosts
[my_group1]
test_01
test_02

[my_group2]
test_03

shell> cat playbook.yml
- hosts: my_group1, my_group2
  tasks:
    - shell: cat /etc/passwd| wc -l
      register: record_count
    - debug:
        var: record_count.stdout

- hosts: my_group1, my_group2
  vars:
    apa:
      - my_group1
      - my_group2
  tasks:
    - debug:
        msg: "{{ hostvars[item].record_count.stdout|trim }}"
      loop: "{{ groups[apa[0]] }}"
      run_once: true
      delegate_to: localhost
    - debug:
        msg: "{{ hostvars[item].record_count.stdout|trim }}"
      loop: "{{ groups[apa[1]] }}"
      run_once: true
      delegate_to: localhost

给出（删节）

shell> ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml 

PLAY [my_group1, my_group2] ***************************

ok: [test_01] => 
  record_count.stdout: '      37'
ok: [test_02] => 
  record_count.stdout: '      31'
ok: [test_03] => 
  record_count.stdout: '      29'

PLAY [my_group1, my_group2] ***************************

ok: [test_01 -> localhost] => (item=test_01) => 
  msg: '37'
ok: [test_01 -> localhost] => (item=test_02) => 
  msg: '31'

ok: [test_01 -> localhost] => (item=test_03) => 
  msg: '29'

备注：

表达式hostvars[groups.apa[0]].record_count.stdout是错误的。 hostvars[groups.apa[0]] 是组 apa[0] 中的主机列表。列表的项目有属性 record_count 而不是列表。
如果（非常动态的）主机可能会在运行中消失，请使用 default 过滤器。例如

"{{ hostvars[item].record_count.stdout|default(-1)|trim }}"

如果您想比较主机对的变量，请决定如何 select 主机对。
