Description

An Ansible Role to create groups in Automation Hub.

Variables

Variable Name Default Value Required Description Example
ah_host ”” yes URL to the Automation Hub or Galaxy Server. (alias: ah_hostname) 127.0.0.1
ah_username ”” yes Admin User on the Automation Hub or Galaxy Server.  
ah_password ”” yes Automation Hub Admin User’s password on the Automation Hub Server. This should be stored in an Ansible Vault at vars/tower-secrets.yml or elsewhere and called from a parent playbook.  
ah_validate_certs true no Whether or not to validate the Ansible Automation Hub Server’s SSL certificate.  
ah_request_timeout 10 no Specify the timeout Ansible should use in requests to the Galaxy or Automation Hub host.  
ah_path_prefix ”” no API path used to access the api. Either galaxy, automation-hub, or custom  
ah_configuration_async_dir null no Sets the directory to write the results file for async tasks. The default value is set to null which uses the Ansible Default of /root/.ansible_async/.  
ah_groups see below yes Data structure describing your groups, described below.  

Secure Logging Variables

The following Variables compliment each other. If Both variables are not set, secure logging defaults to false. The role defaults to False as normally the add group task does not include sensitive information. ah_configuration_group_secure_logging defaults to the value of ah_configuration_secure_logging if it is not explicitly called. This allows for secure logging to be toggled for the entire suite of automation hub configuration roles with a single variable, or for the user to selectively use it.

Variable Name Default Value Required Description
ah_configuration_group_secure_logging False no Whether or not to include the sensitive Namespace role tasks in the log. Set this value to True if you will be providing your sensitive values from elsewhere.
ah_configuration_secure_logging False no This variable enables secure logging as well, but is shared across multiple roles, see above.

Asynchronous Retry Variables

The following Variables set asynchronous retries for the role. If neither of the retries or delay or retries are set, they will default to their respective defaults. This allows for all items to be created, then checked that the task finishes successfully. This also speeds up the overall role.

Variable Name Default Value Required Description
ah_configuration_async_retries 50 no This variable sets the number of retries to attempt for the role globally.
ah_configuration_group_async_retries ah_configuration_async_retries no This variable sets the number of retries to attempt for the role.
ah_configuration_async_delay 1 no This sets the delay between retries for the role globally.
ah_configuration_group_async_delay ah_configuration_async_delay no This sets the delay between retries for the role.
