Description

Runs commands on remote devices running Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Dell Technologies. Sends arbitrary commands to an Enterprise SONiC node and returns the results that are read from the device. This module includes an argument that causes the module to wait for a specific condition before returning or time out if the condition is not met.

This module does not support running commands in configuration mode. To configure SONiC devices, use M(dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_config).

Inputs

    
match:
    choices:
    - all
    - any
    default: all
    description:
    - The I(match) argument is used in conjunction with the I(wait_for) argument to specify
      the match policy.  Valid values are C(all) or C(any). If the value is set to C(all)
      then all conditionals in the wait_for must be satisfied. If the value is set to
      C(any) then only one of the values must be satisfied.
    type: str

retries:
    default: 10
    description:
    - Specifies the number of retries a command should be run before it is considered
      failed. The command is run on the target device every retry and evaluated against
      the I(wait_for) conditions.
    type: int

commands:
    description:
    - List of commands to send to the remote Enterprise SONiC devices over the configured
      provider. The resulting output from the command is returned. If the I(wait_for)
      argument is provided, the module is not returned until the condition is satisfied
      or the number of retries has expired. If a command sent to the device requires answering
      a prompt, it is possible to pass a dict containing I(command), I(answer) and I(prompt).
      Common answers are 'yes' or "\r" (carriage return, must be double quotes). See examples.
    elements: str
    required: true
    type: list

interval:
    default: 1
    description:
    - Configures the interval in seconds to wait between retries of the command. If the
      command does not pass the specified conditions, the interval indicates how long
      to wait before trying the command again.
    type: int

wait_for:
    description:
    - List of conditions to evaluate against the output of the command. The task waits
      for each condition to be true before moving forward. If the conditional is not true
      within the configured number of retries, the task fails. See examples.
    elements: str
    type: list
