Correct syntax for if statement in saltstack - salt-stack

Running following command:
salt host1 file.check_perms /xxx/zzz '{}' root sudo 0750
I will get True,
I like add this to my state, but can't find the correct syntax.
{% if not salt['file.check_perms']('/xxx/zzz/', '{}',['root'],['sudo'],['0750']) %
Set group ownership and permissions:
file.directory:
- name: /xxx/zzz/
- user: root
- group: sudo
- dir_mode: 750
- file_mode: 750
- recurse:
- user
- group
- mode
{% endif %}
Traceback:
Data failed to compile:
----------
Rendering SLS 'base:certbot.cert' failed: Jinja error: string indices must be integers, not unicode
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/salt/modules/file.py", line 4469, in check_perms

TypeError: string indices must be integers, not unicode
Could anyone help me?

I found the solution myself, following syntax is works:
{% if salt['file.check_perms']('/xxx/zzz/', {},('root'),('sudo'),('0750')) != 'True' %}
Set group ownership and permissions:
file.directory:
- name: /zzz/zzz/
- user: root
- group: sudo
- dir_mode: 750
- file_mode: 750
- recurse:
- user
- group
- mode
{% endif %}

How to add nested dictionary to dynamic host in Ansible

I have application details in respective vars like below. For example, myapp1 in "QA" environment would look like the below:
cat myapp1_QA.yml
---
APP_HOSTS:
- myapphost7:
- logs:
- /tmp/web/apphost7_access
- /tmp/web/apphost7_error
- myapphost9:
- logs:
- /tmp/web/apphost9_access
- /tmp/web/apphost9_error
- /tmp/web/apphost9_logs
WEB_HOSTS:
- mywebhost7:
- logs:
- /tmp/webserver/webhost7.pid
In this example I wish to create a dynamic host containing the 3 hosts
myapphost7
myapphost9
mywebhost7
and each host has variable log which can be looped to get the file paths:
Below is my ansible play:
---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- include_vars:
file: "{{ playbook_dir }}/{{ appname }}_{{ myenv }}.yml"
- name: Dsiplay dictionary data
debug:
msg: "{{ item[logs] }}"
loop: "{{ APP_HOSTS }}"
I get the below error:
ansible-playbook read.yml -e appname=myapp1 -e myenv=QA
TASK [Dsiplay dictionary data] *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'logs' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to be in '/root/read.yml': line 8, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Dsiplay dictionary data\n ^ here\n"}
My requirement is to store "myapphost7", "myapphost9", "mywebhost7" in group using add_hosts: hosts: while a variable logs: having the list of log files.
Note: if no hosts mywebhost7 is defined under WEB_HOSTS: or APP_HOSTS: then nothing should be added to the dynamic host.
Can you please suggest?

how to check 777 permission in multiple directory by ansible

For a single directory my script is running fine, but how to check the same for multiple directories?
Code for a single directory:
---
- name: checking directory permission
hosts: test
become: true
tasks:
- name: Getting permission to registered var 'p'
stat:
path: /var/SP/Shared/
register: p
- debug:
msg: "permission is 777 for /var/SP/Shared/
when: p.stat.mode == "0777" or p.stat.mode == "2777" or p.stat.mode == "4777"
Reading stat_module shows that there is no parameter for recursion. Testing with_fileglob: did not gave the expected result.
So it seems you would need to loop over the directories in a way like
- name: Get directory permissions
stat:
path: "{{ item }}"
register: result
with_items:
- "/tmp/example"
- "/tmp/test"
tags: CIS
- name: result
debug:
msg:
- "{{ result }}"
tags: CIS
but I am sure there can be still more advanced solutions found.

If statements with nested grain returns nothing

I am trying to write an if statement based on a nested grain. I have tried this statement in multiple different ways:
System Services Needed:
module.run:
- name: service.systemctl_reload
- onchanges:
- file: /lib/systemd/system/salt-minion.service
{% if salt['grains.get']('Project:DeviceTypeID') == '2' %}
- file: /etc/rc.local
- file: /opt/interfaces_init.sh
{% endif %}
Returns:
Rendering SLS 'Development:System' failed: Jinja variable 'dict object' has no attribute 'Project:DeviceTypeID'
System Services Needed:
module.run:
- name: service.systemctl_reload
- onchanges:
- file: /lib/systemd/system/salt-minion.service
{% if grains['Project']['DeviceTypeID'] == '2' %}
- file: /etc/rc.local
- file: /opt/interfaces_init.sh
{% endif %}
System Services Needed:
module.run:
- name: service.systemctl_reload
- onchanges:
- file: /lib/systemd/system/salt-minion.service
{% if grains['Project:DeviceTypeID'] == '2' %}
- file: /etc/rc.local
- file: /opt/interfaces_init.sh
{% endif %}
As you can tell from the example their are multiple device type IDs. In this example DeviceTypeID = 2 I need to worry about rc.local and a shell script. I can not seem to get this work for the life of me. I know the grain exists as I can run the following:
sudo salt 'Dev-Box' grains.get Project
and I will get:
Dev-Box:
DeviceTypeID:
1
IsActive:
True
SoftwareEnvironmentName:
Production
SoftwareVersion:
Foo
This is either a bug or I am missing something (significantly more likely I am missing something). Any help would be much appreciated.
Edit 1:
Added ['grains.get']('Project:DeviceTypeID') example
in salt grains.get return a dictionary in the following format:
{'minion-id': value}
I believe if you change your code into something like bellow, it should works.
{% if salt['grains.get']('Project:DeviceTypeID')[minion-id] == '2' %}
If you can't do:
salt 'Dev-Box' grains.get 'Project:DeviceTypeID'
Then you don't actually have the proper grain set.
Try the following:
salt 'Dev-Box' grains.setval Project '{"DeviceTypeID": 2, "IsActive": True, "SoftwareEnvironmentName": "Production", "SoftwareVersion": "Foo"}'
Then the following state:
Do the {{ salt['grains.get']('Project:DeviceTypeID') }} things:
test.succeed_with_changes:
- some: thing
You should get:
ID: Do the 2 things
Function: test.succeed_with_changes
Result: True
Comment: Success!
Started: 17:10:42.739240
Duration: 0.491 ms
Changes:
----------
testing:
----------
new:
Something pretended to change
old:
Unchanged
Given what you wrote elsewhere
salt Dev-Box grains.setval BETTI "{'DeviceTypeID': 2, 'IsActive': True SoftwareEnvironmentName': 'Production', 'SoftwareVersion': 'Foo'}"
Your problem is that you have ' and " confused.
Wrapping the value with " makes it a string. Wrapping it with ' and providing valid JSON makes it a dictionary value.

Ansible looping Ansible_net_interfaces isn't seeing item.key as defined

No matter how I call the items in the ansible_net _interfaces dictionary it keeps telling me "item" isn't defined. I did a debug and the dictionary has all the values I want just can't call them in the parents line here. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
- name: Un-Apply the policy-map sed-input-mark
ios_config:
lines:
- no policy-map sed-input-mark
parents: interface {{ item.key }}
with_dict: "{{ ansible_net_interfaces }}"
Here is Error message:
fatal: [192.168.50.4]: FAILED! => {

The error was: 'item' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/home/drojas/networkautorepo/plays/QoSSed/qossedpolicy.yml': line 96, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Un-Apply the policy-map sed-input-mark\n ^ here\n"

Salt: text file to variable and use the same variable in state file to find&replace

I've run into an issue I havent been able to solve:
I have a file(/etc/osci) that I use on all of my servers as an name for our monitoring(zabbix)
I've created a state file that pushes a template configuration file to the server and and reads the content of /etc/osci to a variable. The next step would be to use that same variable with 'file.replace' function to search for a string and replace it with the variable.
uusnimi=$(cat /etc/osci):
cmd.run
/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf:
file.managed:
- source: salt://base/streamingconf/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
- mode: 644
change_hostname_zabbix:
file.replace:
- name: /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf
- pattern: 'Hostname='
- repl: 'Hostname=$uusnimi'
Now when executing the state file echoing the variable in the target server it provides me the right output:
echo $uusnimi
Server1
but for the life of me I can't figure out how to escape the last line of the above code so it would insert the value not the '$uusnimi' string
Use uusnimi as a jinja variable.
{% set uusnimi = salt['cmd.shell']('cat /etc/osci') %}
/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf:
file.managed:
- source: salt://base/streamingconf/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
- mode: 644
change_hostname_zabbix:
file.replace:
- name: /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf
- pattern: 'Hostname='
- repl: 'Hostname={{ uusnimi }}'
