Ansible lookup for a IPv4 network with specific extaddrs

I have worked with the lookup plugin and I'm able to run through several scenarios using the record: host  but I need to lookup a network based on an extaddrs.  I tried this...

 

- name: Extattr lookup
set_fact:
host_records: "{{ lookup('nios', 'search', filter={'network': '10.x.x.36/30'}, return_fields=['extattrs', 'Client_Site_#'], provider=cli_infoblox ) }}" 

 

Here's the error:

 

Failed on object search with url https://10.x.x.x/wapi/v2.1/search?network=10.x.x.36%2F30&_return_fields=extattrs%2CClient_Site_%23&_...: b'{ "Error": "AdmConProtoError: _return_fields illegal for search", \n "code": "Client.Ibap.Proto", \n "text": "_return_fields illegal for search"\n}'

Hi,

 

Can you try this following lookup instead:

host_records: "{{ lookup('nios', 'network', filter={'network': '10.x.x.36/30'}, return_fields=['extattrs', 'Client_Site_#'], provider=cli_infoblox ) }}" 

Regards,

Krishna

This is the error. Look like something related to the extensible attribute.

Failed on object search with url https://10.x.x.22/wapi/v2.1/network?network=10.x.x.40%2F30&_return_fields=extattrs%2CClient_Site_%23...: b'{ "Error": "AdmConProtoError: Unknown argument/field: \'Client_Site_#\'", \n "code": "Client.Ibap.Proto", \n "text": "Unknown argument/field: \'Client_Site_#\'"\n}'

Hi,

 

I get it now. So, if you just need to return the extensible attributes, then you can run the following command:

host_records: "{{ lookup('nios', 'network', filter={'network': '10.x.x.36/30'}, return_fields=['extattrs'], provider=cli_infoblox ) }}" 

If you need to filter by a specif extensible attribute, then you can use the following command:

host_records: "{{ lookup('nios', 'network', filter={'network': '10.x.x.36/30','*Client_Site_#':'<replace_with your client side ID>'}, return_fields=['extattrs'], provider=cli_infoblox ) }}" 

Let me know how this goes,

Regards,

Krishna

In terms of regex lookups with Ansible lookup plugin

add ~ suffix to the field while using filter: 

 

    - name: fetch networks by regex starting with 10.231
      set_fact:
        networks: "{{ lookup('nios', 'network', filter={'network~': '10.231'}, return_fields=['network','ipv4addr'], provider=nios_provider) }}"

    - name: print out the networks
      debug:
        var: networks
