nxos | embedded operating system toolkit for the Lego Mindstorms | Runtime Evironment library

Im running ansible 2.9.18 on RHEL7.

I am using hvac to retrieve usernames and passwords from a Hashicorp vault.

Is there a way to add no commands in templates based on difference and not hardcoding any variable to be removed in a separate file? For example:

Ansible task for difference after comparing the running-config with a config in a file:

I am having issues with script in Ansible. I want to check the last sequence number the route-map in Cisco NXOS and I did the next:

My idea was to show the output and then, with map('regex_replace") remove all except the numbers.

Inside the role:

vars file:

I am having difficulty getting Ansible to perform logging. A simple YAML named demo5.yml spins up AWS EC2 instances (below). The following entry has been added into the ansible.cfg file: log_pth=/var/log/ansible.log

The playbook YAML is executed by calling: ansible-playbook demo5.yml -v

There is nothing in the ansible.log after execution.

What am I doing incorrectly?

I am playing with nxos module to configure Cisco switch using ansible and had one question related loop handling.

I have this task where i need to configure channel-group on all interface but adding 1 in interface number so if interface is E1/12 channel-group will be 112

I'm writing a playbook to test cisco nexus switch upgrade using ansible. i'm using 'nxos_install_os' module to define the task. while i execute i see an error message

PERSISTENT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT and PERSISTENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT must be set to 600 seconds.

I did change command_timeout and connection_timeout in ansible.cfg file to 1800 seconds as well as i change the connection: local to network_cli, so that i can define those timeout values in the playbook too. below is the playbook that i have, i still see that same error. is there anything that i am missing?

I have the following task. However, it doesn't output the output for each ping that is produced, and I only get a 1 x output. When there should be x 5.

Task

I'm not familiar with XML and trying to get a bit network automation going. I get some XML responses like the following, and try to convert it to a hash or something to easily work with it. I have no idea if I'm doing something wrong. I get the output shown below.

Anyone can push me into a direction ? I tried the nokogiri documentation and guides, but I'm kinda lost.

My Data:

Here is what I am trying to do.

1. log onto a networking switch using the built in networking modules and send a command.
2. register that command as a var
3. print that var or use that var elsewhere inside of a playbook.

This seems simple right? But here are the issues I am facing.

First of all, I am logging into one device (currently) and then issuing a simple command inside of a loop (this becomes 2 commands, and 2 outputs).

I want to put the outputs from both of the commands into a list. Next I would like to loop through this list and inspect the return of the value from each command (remember this is 2 outputs).

Here is the current play:
