theforeman.foreman.hostgroups

This role creates and manages Hostgroups.

Role Variables

This role supports the Common Role Variables.

• foreman_hostgroups: List of hostgroups to manage that are each represented as a dictionary. See module documentation for a list of available options for each hostgroup. Hostgroups may have any set of fields defined on them and may optionally define a parent for nested hostgroups. A variety of examples are demonstrated in the data structure below:

foreman_hostgroups:
  - name: "Basic example"
    architecture: "x86_64"
    operatingsystem: "CentOS"
    medium: "media_name"
    ptable: "partition_table_name"
  - name: "Proxies hostgroup"
    environment: production
    puppet_proxy: puppet-proxy.example.com
    puppet_ca_proxy: puppet-proxy.example.com
    openscap_proxy: openscap-proxy.example.com
  - name: "CentOS 7"
    organization: "Default Organization"
    lifecycle_environment: "Production"
    content_view: "CentOS 7"
    activation_keys: centos-7
  - name: "Webserver"
    parent: "CentOS 7"
    environment: production
    puppet_proxy: puppet-proxy.example.com
    puppet_ca_proxy: puppet-proxy.example.com
    openscap_proxy: openscap-proxy.example.com
