Description

An Ansible Role to create Projects in EDA Controller.

Variables

Variable Name Default Value Required Description Example
eda_host ”” yes URL to the EDA Controller (alias: eda_hostname) 127.0.0.1
eda_username ”” yes Admin User on the EDA Controller  
eda_password ”” yes EDA Controller Admin User’s password on the EDA Controller Server. This should be stored in an Ansible Vault at vars/tower-secrets.yml or elsewhere and called from a parent playbook.  
eda_validate_certs False no Whether or not to validate the Ansible EDA Controller Server’s SSL certificate.  
eda_request_timeout 10 no Specify the timeout Ansible should use in requests to the EDA Controller host.  
eda_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/.  
eda_projects see below yes Data structure describing your projects, described below. Note that this role will only do anything if the sync suboption of this variable is set to true.  

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 project task does not include sensitive information. eda_configuration_project_secure_logging defaults to the value of eda_configuration_secure_logging if it is not explicitly called. This allows for secure logging to be toggled for the entire suite of EDA Controller configuration roles with a single variable, or for the user to selectively use it.

Variable Name Default Value Required Description
eda_configuration_project_secure_logging False no Whether or not to include the sensitive Project role tasks in the log. Set this value to True if you will be providing your sensitive values from elsewhere.
eda_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
eda_configuration_async_retries 50 no This variable sets the number of retries to attempt for the role globally.
eda_configuration_project_sync_async_retries eda_configuration_async_retries no This variable sets the number of retries to attempt for the role.
eda_configuration_async_delay 1 no This sets the delay between retries for the role globally.
eda_configuration_project_sync_async_delay eda_configuration_async_delay no This sets the delay between retries for the role.

Data Structure

Project Variables

Variable Name Default Value Required Type Description
name ”” yes str Project name. Must be lower case containing only alphanumeric characters and underscores.
sync false no bool Whether to sync the project. By default it will not sync unless this is set to true.
wait true no str Whether to wait for the sync to complete
interval eda_configuration_project_sync_async_delay no str The interval which the sync task will be checked for completion
timeout ”” no str How long to wait for the sync task to complete
