Ansible: How to mail attachments with files from remote hosts
I know how to email attachments but that is assuming that the files are on the ansible controller.
Multiple times in a day, I am asked to send log files on two different servers to certain people. I would like to run an Playbook that will just do that.
This is what I have so far:
---
- hosts: server1:server2
remote_user: joe
become: yes
become_method: sudo
tasks:
- name: Sending error and debug logs to Bob, Suzie
mail:
host: localhost
port: 25
subject: Logs from {{ ansible_hostname }}
body: Here are the logs that you have requested
from: webuser <webuser@something.com>
to:
- Bob Smith <bob@something.com>
- Suzie Owens <suzie@something.com>
attach:
- /var/www/stg.something.com/logs/debug.log
- /var/www/stg.something.com/logs/error.log
headers:
- Reply-To=webuser@something.com
charset: us-ascii
become: yes
become_user: webuser
become_method: sudo
delegate_to: localhost
I would assume that my issue is delegate_to. My question is what is the format to include server1 & server2?
