Hi there,
When deploying configuration using configure_apps.yml, the Synchronize {{ item.name }} repo from local Ansible host to {{ splunk_home }}/{{ app_dest }}/{{ item.name }} on remote host task, it does not respect globally configured Ansible SSH options. For instance, we have to deploy our Ansible through a jumphost and do this by setting the following variable:
ansible_ssh_common_args: '-J my.jumphost.example.com -o ConnectTimeout=30'
This means that the task fails as it cannot access the remote host directly without using the jumphost. I was able to resolve this issue by simply adding the use_ssh_args parameter in the task as follows:
- name: "Synchronize {{ item.name }} repo from local Ansible host to {{ splunk_home }}/{{ app_dest }}/{{ item.name }} on remote host"
ansible.posix.synchronize:
src: "{{ app_src }}"
dest: "{{ splunk_home }}/{{ app_dest }}/"
recursive: true
delete: true
checksum: true
private_key: "{{ rsync_private_key|default(omit) }}"
use_ssh_args: true
rsync_opts:
- "--prune-empty-dirs"
- "--itemize-changes"
- "--no-owner"
- "--no-group"
- "--no-times"
become: true
become_user: "{{ splunk_nix_user }}"
notify: "{{ handler }}"it would be great if this could be configured by a single global variable, this will keep the old behaviour as standard but allow for people to easily change the behaviour when needed.
use_ssh_args: "{{ splunk_synchronize_use_ssh_args }}"
