iptables_raw doesn't keep unmanaged

[ppetit]

As the title suggest I am having issues with the module not keeping the unmanaged rules. They are wiped out despite the use of keep_unmanaged property. Any help fixing that issue would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Version Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.4 (Ootpa)

Installed latest of iptables_raw.py

State of iptables rules before:

iptables -L

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED / 000 accept related established rules ipv4 / ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW / 001 accept all icmp ipv4 / ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state NEW / 002 accept all to lo interface ipv4 / [skip] ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere multiport dports 16514,61152:61215,rfb:6923 state NEW / 200 nova_libvirt ipv4 / LOG all -- anywhere anywhere state NEW limit: avg 20/min burst 15 / 998 log all ipv4 / LOG level warning DROP all -- anywhere anywhere state NEW / 999 drop all ipv4 / Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source

Execution of

• name: Set iptables rule iptables_raw: name: "iptables_raw rule for {{ port_config.comment }}" state: "present" ipversion: 4 backup: yes weight: 40 keep_unmanaged: yes rules: | -A INPUT -m {{ port_config.proto }} -p {{ port_config.proto }} --dport {{ port_config.port }} -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

State of iptable rules after:

iptables -S

-P INPUT ACCEPT -P FORWARD ACCEPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 9100 -m state --state NEW -m comment --comment "ansible[iptables_raw rule for node_exporter]" -j ACCEPT

All unmanaged rules are gone !!!

cat /etc/ansible-iptables/iptables.json

{ "filter": { "dump": "\n", "rules_dict": { "$unmanaged_rules$": { "rules": "", <- empty ? "weight": 90 }, "iptables_raw rule for node_exporter": { "rules": "-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 9100 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -m comment --comment \"ansible[iptables_raw rule for node_exporter]\"", "weight": 40 } } } }
