infra.aap_utilities.aap_manage_containerized_services

An Ansible role to manage the service comprising the containerized version of AAP.

Requirements

A valid inventory file for the instance being managed.

Role Variables

There is only one input variable required for this role.

svc_action: stop

start

restart

status

• The default value for svc_action (set in defaults/main.yml) is status. Unless a different value is specified, the role will display the status of all services running in a given AAP instance.

Tags

Each service is assigned a tag to enable manipulation of individual services rather than the entire instance. The available tags are: postgres, receptor, redisunix, redistcp, hub, controller, eda, and gateway.

Dependencies

None

Example Playbook

- name: Manage the AAP instance's services
  hosts: all
  become: false
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: infra.aap_utilities.aap_manage_containerized_services
      # Valid values for the variable below are: "status", "start", "stop", and "restart".
      # The default operation (value of the variable) is "status".
      svc_action: <action>
...

How To Use

Create a playbook using the example above as a guide, and execute it as normal. To avoid unnecessary output from skipped hosts, use “ANSIBLE_DISPLAY_SKIPPED_HOSTS=false” with the ansible-playbook command:

ANSIBLE_DISPLAY_SKIPPED_HOSTS=false ansible-playbook -i <path_to_inventory> example_playbook.yml -e "svc_action=<action>"
