i want to build a dynamically task, that creates an action within zabbix. The task works like charm, but it would be great, if it would be possible to add parameters with looping through a list. Currently my playbook creates on action for each discovery rule, but I want to add only one action with all discovery rules in it. Is that even possible?
Here is the specific task in the playbook
- type: block for each Discovery-rule, so I can add it correctly to zabbix :-)- name: Create the discovery-rule list for the customer
vars:
discovery_rule_list: []
set_fact:
discovery_rule_list: "{{ discovery_rule_list + [ zabbix_host_customer_short + ' - Subnetz: ' + item ] }}"
loop: "{{ zabbix_discovery_subnets }}"
- debug: var=discovery_rule_list
- name: Add an action to add hosts that are discovered by discovery-rule - {{ item }}
community.zabbix.zabbix_action:
name: "Add hosts for {{ zabbix_host_customer_short }} - {{ item }} - Linux"
state: present
event_source: "discovery"
status: "enabled"
esc_period: "1m"
conditions:
- type: "discovery_status"
operator: "="
value: "Up"
formulaid: "A"
- type: "discovery_rule"
operator: "="
value: "{{ zabbix_host_customer_short }} - Subnetz: {{ item }}"
formulaid: "B"
- type: "discovered_service_type"
operator: "="
value: "Zabbix agent"
formulaid: "C"
- type: "received_value"
operator: "contains"
value: "Linux"
formulaid: "D"
formula: "A and B and C and D"
operations:
- type: add_host
- type: add_to_host_group
host_groups:
- "{{ zabbix_host_customer_short }}"
- "Linux servers"
loop: "{{ zabbix_discovery_subnets }}"
- name: Add an action to add hosts that are discovered by discovery-rule - {{ item }}
community.zabbix.zabbix_action:
name: "Add hosts for {{ zabbix_host_customer_short }} - {{ item }} - Windows"
state: present
event_source: "discovery"
status: "enabled"
esc_period: "1m"
conditions:
- type: "discovery_status"
operator: "="
value: "Up"
formulaid: "A"
- type: "discovery_rule"
operator: "="
value: "{{ zabbix_host_customer_short }} - Subnetz: {{ item }}"
formulaid: "B"
- type: "discovered_service_type"
operator: "="
value: "Zabbix agent"
formulaid: "C"
- type: "received_value"
operator: "contains"
value: "Windows"
formulaid: "D"
formula: "A and B and C and D"
operations:
- type: add_host
- type: add_to_host_group
host_groups:
- "{{ zabbix_host_customer_short }}"
- "Windows servers"
loop: "{{ zabbix_discovery_subnets }}"
For more information, here is the output of the debug:
This is the variable, I want to use
TASK [zabbix-add-customer : debug] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /home/uweichert/projects/fks-zabbix-rollout/maintain-zabbix/roles/zabbix-add-customer/tasks/add-discovery-trigger.yaml:10
redirecting (type: connection) ansible.builtin.httpapi to ansible.netcommon.httpapi
ok: [zabbixserver] => {
"discovery_rule_list": [

"TestKunde 01 - Subnetz: 192.168.102.0/24"

}
This is the output of the task, that creates the action

This would be the part, that I want to create dynamically:
{
"formulaid": "B",
"operator": "=",
"type": "discovery_rule",
"value": "TestKunde 01 - Subnetz: 192.168.100.0/24",
"value2": null
}
by creating this part of the playbook dynamically:
- type: "discovery_rule"
operator: "="
value: "{{ zabbix_host_customer_short }} - Subnetz: {{ item }}"
formulaid: "B"
I think I finally understood what you wanted to achieve initially - just to add the generated elements directly to the existing list of conditions using something like this:
---
- name: Add the generated discovery rule list to the list of conditions
vars:
conditions:
- type: "discovery_status"
operator: "="
value: "Up"
formulaid: "A"
- type: "discovered_service_type"
operator: "="
value: "Zabbix agent"
formulaid: "C"
- type: "received_value"
operator: "contains"
value: "Linux"
formulaid: "D"
set_fact:
conditions: >
conditions + [
{
type: "discovery_rule",
operator: "=",
value: zabbix_host_customer_short + ' - Subnetz: ' + zabbix_discovery_subnet,
formulaid: "B"
}
]
loop: "{{ zabbix_discovery_subnets }}"
loop_control:
loop_var: zabbix_discovery_subnet
