Nagios XI + Ansible

[DoubleDoubleA]

Actually, I think that chaining modular playbooks together with import / include in a master playbook will be the way to address that. http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/ ... reuse.html

The last one in the chain would be an apply config playbook like

Code: Select all

---
- name: apply configs
  hosts: all
  connection: ssh
  gather_facts: True
  remote_user: root
  tasks:
    - uri:
        url: http://{{ xi_ip }}/nagiosxi/api/v1/config/host?apikey={{ xi_api_key }}
        body: "force=1&applyconfig=1"

You have to pass the information about the host you want to add in Nagios XI. I suggest you to not use applyconfig=1 and separate it like I do, to be able to runit at once instead of each time you want to add a host in Nagios XI. I also use delegate_to to force ansible to run that command from a specific server instead of all the server.
