SUMMARY

gather subset license fails

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

name: Collect all BIG-IP information f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_device_info: provider: "{{ provider }}" gather_subset:
- license register: license_info delegate_to: localhost

(provider is unimportant - point it towards a test maching)

documentation here clearly specifies that license is a valid https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/f5networks/f5_modules/bigip_device_info_module.html

EXPECTED RESULTS

The license key that was used to create the license file.

ACTUAL RESULTS

See above

There appears to be code in the ansible module to handle this, but it looks like it is failing the keyword check at the beginning of the module execution routine.

Hi @caliraftdude,

Thanks for reporting this issue. I tested with the declarative collection the following and it works:

- hosts: all
  collections:
    - f5networks.f5_bigip
  connection: httpapi

  vars:
    ansible_host: "X.X.X.X"
    ansible_user: "admin"
    ansible_httpapi_password: "password"
    ansible_network_os: f5networks.f5_bigip.bigip
    ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: yes
    ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: no

  tasks:
    - name: Collect BIG-IP information
      f5networks.f5_bigip.bigip_device_info:
        gather_subset:
          - license
      register: result

caliraftdude commented 6 months ago

Good to know -

Is there a way to figure out why its not working in the imperative branch?

Thanks!

Hi @caliraftdude,

I tested the following and it works so maybe it's something in your environment:

- hosts: all
  collections:
    - f5networks.f5_modules
  connection: local

  tasks:
    - name: Collect BIG-IP information
      bigip_device_info:
        gather_subset:
          - license
        provider:
          server: "X.X.X.X"
          user: "admin"
          password: "password"
          server_port: 443
          validate_certs: no
          no_f5_teem: yes
      delegate_to: localhost

@caliraftdude I see you are running on ansible core 2.10.x (i suspect you have got ansible community version 3.x) The version of ansible core would need to be at least 2.14.x (see below links): https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/f5networks/f5_modules/index.html

There used to be a bug with this module which we fixed last year: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-ansible/commit/58177d5507c5918349937949dcd1624a2b1acdcb

What i think it is happening you are using the collection that shipped with the community 3.x of ansible, and that version of collection is quite old. I would recommend installing latest ansible community version and retrying (see above links). Alternatively you can try to install new version of our collection from galaxy, but I really recommend upgrading ansible first.

caliraftdude commented 6 months ago

Gah - okay..

Good to know. Let me review the installations appropriately and then update with the versions I am seeing to make sure this is up to snuf.

Cheers~

Okay - I am updated to 2.16 right now and seeing some different behavior. Let me go through all this with a fine tooth comb.

Thanks for the help!

Perfect -

Verified against 2.16 and I am now getting proper license information as well as the 'latest' option for f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_device_license is working again.

Perfect - thanks for the help!
