ansible / ansible.yang / 2.0.0 / module / configure Reads the input configuration in JSON format and pushes to the remote host over netconf Authors: Rohit Thakur (@rohitthakur2590) This plugin has a corresponding action plugin.ansible.yang.configure (2.0.0) — module
Install with ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.yang:==2.0.0
collections: - name: ansible.yang version: 2.0.0
The module takes the JSON configuration as input.
Pre-validates the config with the corresponding YANG model.
Converts input JSON configuration to XML payload to be pushed on the remote host using netconf connection.

file: description: - The file path of the YANG model that corresponds to the configuration fetch from the remote host. This options accepts wildcard (*) as well for the filename in case the configuration requires to parse multiple yang file. For example "openconfig/public/tree/master/release/models/interfaces/*.yang" elements: path required: true type: list config: description: - The running-configuration to be pushed onto the device in JSON format (as per RFC 7951). required: true type: dict get_filter: description: - The filter in xml string format to fetch a subset of the running-configuration for the YANG model given in C(file) option. If this option is provided it will compare the current running-configuration on the device with what is provided in the C(config) option and push to C(config) value to device only if it is different to ensure idempotent task run. type: str search_path: default: ~/.ansible/yang/spec description: - is a colon C(:) separated list of directories to search for imported yang modules in the yang file mentioned in C(path) option. If the value is not given it will search in the default directory path. type: path netconf_options: description: - Pass arguments to the lower level component, M(ansible.netcommon.netconf_config), that this module uses. suboptions: backup: default: false description: - This argument will cause the module to create a full backup of the current C(running-config) from the remote device before any changes are made. If the C(backup_options) value is not given, the backup file is written to the C(backup) folder in the playbook root directory or role root directory, if playbook is part of an ansible role. If the directory does not exist, it is created. type: bool backup_options: description: - This is a dict object containing configurable options related to backup file path. The value of this option is read only when C(backup) is set to I(yes), if C(backup) is set to I(no) this option will be silently ignored. suboptions: dir_path: description: - This option provides the path ending with directory name in which the backup configuration file will be stored. If the directory does not exist it will be first created and the filename is either the value of C(filename) or default filename as described in C(filename) options description. If the path value is not given in that case a I(backup) directory will be created in the current working directory and backup configuration will be copied in C(filename) within I(backup) directory. type: path filename: description: - The filename to be used to store the backup configuration. If the filename is not given it will be generated based on the hostname, current time and date in format defined by <hostname>_config.<current-date>@<current-time> type: str type: dict commit: default: true description: - This boolean flag controls if the configuration changes should be committed or not after editing the candidate datastore. This option is supported only if remote Netconf server supports :candidate capability. If the value is set to I(False) commit won't be issued after edit-config operation and user needs to handle commit or discard-changes explicitly. type: bool confirm: default: 0 description: - This argument will configure a timeout value for the commit to be confirmed before it is automatically rolled back. If the C(confirm_commit) argument is set to False, this argument is silently ignored. If the value of this argument is set to 0, the commit is confirmed immediately. The remote host MUST support :candidate and :confirmed-commit capability for this option to . type: int confirm_commit: default: false description: - This argument will execute commit operation on remote device. It can be used to confirm a previous commit. type: bool default_operation: choices: - merge - replace - none description: - The default operation for <edit-config> rpc, valid values are I(merge), I(replace) and I(none). If the default value is merge, the configuration data in the C(content) option is merged at the corresponding level in the C(target) datastore. If the value is replace the data in the C(content) option completely replaces the configuration in the C(target) datastore. If the value is none the C(target) datastore is unaffected by the configuration in the config option, unless and until the incoming configuration data uses the C(operation) operation to request a different operation. type: str delete: default: false description: - It instructs the module to delete the configuration from value mentioned in C(target) datastore. type: bool error_option: choices: - stop-on-error - continue-on-error - rollback-on-error default: stop-on-error description: - This option controls the netconf server action after an error occurs while editing the configuration. - If I(error_option=stop-on-error), abort the config edit on first error. - If I(error_option=continue-on-error), continue to process configuration data on error. The error is recorded and negative response is generated if any errors occur. - If I(error_option=rollback-on-error), rollback to the original configuration if any error occurs. This requires the remote Netconf server to support the I(error_option=rollback-on-error) capability. type: str lock: choices: - never - always - if-supported default: always description: - Instructs the module to explicitly lock the datastore specified as C(target). By setting the option value I(always) is will explicitly lock the datastore mentioned in C(target) option. It the value is I(never) it will not lock the C(target) datastore. The value I(if-supported) lock the C(target) datastore only if it is supported by the remote Netconf server. type: str save: default: false description: - The C(save) argument instructs the module to save the configuration in C(target) datastore to the startup-config if changed and if :startup capability is supported by Netconf server. type: bool source_datastore: aliases: - source description: - Name of the configuration datastore to use as the source to copy the configuration to the datastore mentioned by C(target) option. The values can be either I(running), I(candidate), I(startup) or a remote URL type: str target: aliases: - datastore choices: - auto - candidate - running default: auto description: Name of the configuration datastore to be edited. - auto, uses candidate and fallback to running - candidate, edit <candidate/> datastore and then commit - running, edit <running/> datastore directly type: str validate: default: false description: - This boolean flag if set validates the content of datastore given in C(target) option. For this option to work remote Netconf server should support :validate capability. type: bool type: dict
diff: description: If --diff option in enabled while running, the before and after configuration change are returned as part of before and after key. returned: when diff is enabled sample: after: <rpc-reply> <data> <configuration> <version>17.3R1.10</version>...<--snip--> before: <rpc-reply> <data> <configuration> <version>17.3R1.10</version>...<--snip--> type: dict
