Cloudaware CMDB can act as a node classifier and return classification data to Ansible. Features that make Cloudaware a more transparent source of configuration data are:
- Field and Record Level Security
- Change Tracking
- Approval Workflows
Customers can retrieve reference configuration data from CMDB instead of Ansible.
Example
Use force.com CLI to retrieve parameters
#!/bin/bash
force="/etc/ansible/scripts/force"
user="user"
password="password"
$force login -u $user -p $password > /dev/null 2>&1
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
curvalue=`grep 'app_version' /tmp/ansible-config.conf|awk -F= '{print $2}'|tr -d ' '`
$force query select Approved_Value__c, Force_Compliance__c from Acme_Cluster_ITIL_CI__c|head -n2|tail -n1|tr -d \" > /etc/ansible/temp/cademo_last_value
$force record update Acme_Cluster_ITIL_CI__c a9Z36000000GzJ7EAK Reported_Value__c:$curvalue > /dev/null 2>&1
$force logout -u=cloudaware@cloudaware.net > /dev/null 2>&1
value=`awk -F, '{print $1}' /etc/ansible/temp/cademo_last_value`
compliance=`awk -F, '{print $2}' /etc/ansible/temp/cademo_last_value`
if [[ $compliance == true ]]; then
echo "$value","$compliance"
else
value=`grep 'app_version' /tmp/ansible-config.conf|awk -F= '{print $2}'|tr -d ' '`
echo "$value","$compliance"
fi
else
echo "Cannot login to Salesforce."
fi
In this example we use force.com CLI to retrieve parameters from CMDB.
