1 year ago The error message you provided indicates that there is an issue with undefined variables in the Ansible playbook. Specifically, it mentions that 'splunk_install_app' is undefined. To fix this issue, you'll need to ensure that all required variables are defined and properly configured in your Ansible playbook or configuration files.
Here's a step-by-step guide to fix this issue:
-
Check Variable Definitions: First, review your Ansible playbook and configuration files (especially splunk_config.yml) to make sure that all the necessary variables like splunk_install_app, splunk_install_dir, splunk_home, and splunk_indexer_volumes are defined and have appropriate values.
-
Ensure Proper YAML Syntax: Ensure that your splunk_config.yml file has proper YAML syntax, including correct indentation. YAML is sensitive to indentation, so make sure variables and their values are indented correctly.
-
Variable Scoping: Check that the variables are correctly scoped. They should either be defined in your splunk_config.yml or sourced from external variables, depending on your playbook's structure.
-
Include/Import Files: Verify if your playbook includes or imports other Ansible files or roles. Sometimes variables are defined in these included files, so make sure they are correctly referenced.
-
Ansible Version Compatibility: Ensure that the Ansible version you are using is compatible with the playbook and roles you are running. Sometimes, different Ansible versions may handle variables differently.
-
Debugging: Use Ansible's debug module to print out the values of variables at the point where the error occurs. This can help you identify which variable is causing the issue and whether it's correctly defined at that point.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with undefined variables in your Ansible playbook. Once the variables are correctly defined and populated, your Splunk installation should proceed as expected.
Best of luck
