Deploy file using ansible

Michael_Wagner — Wed, 17 May 2023 10:51:45 GMT

Hello,

I want to automate file deployment on multiple management servers and gateways using ansible.

Sincerely, I don't get it running.

Playbook:

---
# Copy demo.txt to Check Point Management

- name: Copy file
hosts: checkpoint_management

tasks:
- name: Copy file
copy:
src: /home/xx/xx/ansible/demo.txt
dest: /home/xx/demo.txt

Result from running ansible-playbook copy-file.yml:

fatal: [xx.xx.xx.202]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {}, "changed": false, "failed_modules": {"ansible.legacy.setup": {"ansible_facts": {"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"}, "exception": "Traceback (most recent call last):

I cannot find any helpful documentation on this, maybe you have a tip for me?

To the best of my knowledge, we only support our own Ansible modules on Check Point appliances.

I believe it's because you did not specify to NOT gather facts in your playbook. Check Point does not support it.

---
- name: "Copy file to MDS"
gather_facts: no
hosts: mds

tasks:
- name: Transfer file
copy:
src: test.txt
dest: /var/log/tmp/test.txt
force: no
