ops_command - Run arbitrary commands on OpenSwitch devices.

New in version 2.1.

Synopsis

Sends arbitrary commands to an OpenSwitch node and returns the results read from the device. This module includes an argument that will cause the module to wait for a specific condition before returning or timing out if the condition is not met.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
commands
 yes
List of commands to send to the remote ops device over the configured provider. The resulting output from the command is returned. If the wait_for argument is provided, the module is not returned until the condition is satisfied or the number of retires as expired.
host
 yes
Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport. Note this argument does not affect the SSH argument.
interval
 no 1
Configures the interval in seconds to wait between retries of the command. If the command does not pass the specified conditions, the interval indicates how long to wait before trying the command again.
match
(added in 2.2)
 no all
  • any
  • all
The match argument is used in conjunction with the wait_for argument to specify the match policy. Valid values are all or any. If the value is set to all then all conditionals in the wait_for must be satisfied. If the value is set to any then only one of the values must be satisfied.
password
 no
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or rest transports. Note this argument does not affect the SSH transport. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
port
 no 0 (use common port)
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or rest. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, http=80, https=443). Note this argument does not affect the SSH transport.
provider
 no
Convenience method that allows all openswitch arguments to be passed as a dict object. All constraints (required, choices, etc) must be met either by individual arguments or values in this dict.
retries
 no 10
Specifies the number of retries a command should by tried before it is considered failed. The command is run on the target device every retry and evaluated against the wait_for conditions.
ssh_keyfile
 no
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for the cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead.
transport
 yes ssh
  • ssh
  • cli
  • rest
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. The transport argument supports connectivity to the device over ssh, cli or REST.
use_ssl
 no True
  • yes
  • no
Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the transport argument is configured as rest. If the transport argument is not rest, this value is ignored.
username
 no
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the eAPI authentication depending on which transport is used. Note this argument does not affect the SSH transport. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.
wait_for
(added in 2.2)
 no
List of conditions to evaluate against the output of the command. The task will wait for each condition to be true before moving forward. If the conditional is not true within the configured number of retries, the task fails. See examples.
aliases: waitfor

Examples

# Note: examples below use the following provider dict to handle
#       transport and authentication to the node.
vars:
  cli:
    host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    username: netop
    password: netop
    transport: cli

- ops_command:
    commands:
      - show version
    provider: "{{ cli }}"

- ops_command:
    commands:
      - show version
    wait_for:
      - "result[0] contains OpenSwitch"
    provider: "{{ cli }}"

- ops_command:
    commands:
      - show version
      - show interfaces
    provider: "{{ cli }}"

Return Values

Common return values are documented here Common Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

name description returned type sample
stdout_lines The value of stdout split into a list always list [['...', '...'], ['...'], ['...']]
stdout the set of responses from the commands always list ['...', '...']
failed_conditions the conditionals that failed failed list ['...', '...']
