Using Run-Script with Ansible

[ukohae]

Hi, I am trying to use Run-Script module. Below is my code

---
- hosts: check_point
  connection: httpapi
  gather_facts: False
  vars_files:
    - 'credentials/ansible_login_information.yml'
  tasks:
  - name: run-script
    check_point.mgmt.cp_mgmt_run_script:
      script: ./stat.sh
      script_name: 'Check stat'
      targets:
      - Some_Server
      wait_for_task_timeout: 30

shell script

#!/bin/bash
cpstat os -f all

 TASK [run-script] ******************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [check_point]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Task Some_Server - Check stat with task id af3660dc-9e23-4a90-a398-6d54357a failed. Look at the logs for more details"}


I  noticed this playbook is not running my script. What can I do to fix this erroor

Try specifying the full path to the script.
If not, I recommend checking the task status in SmartConsole to see what it says.

The shell script is in the same directory as the playbook.

Error message on SmartConsole

Run One Time Script

Results ..............................................................
Task Results Connection failed for 192.1.1.1
             Make sure that the machine is up and running, and that  
             SIC has been established

Details ..............................................................
Script  ./stat.sh

Connection failed for IP Address

Makes sure that the machine is up and running, and that SIC has been established

My only guess regarding the SIC error is that the target definition isn't reachable or hasn't been fully configured yet.

The run-script will not copy a script from the local directory and deploy it to a remote deployment for use. You need to insert the body of the script into the "script" command before running it from the management API.

From https://github.com/CheckPointSW/CheckPointAnsibleMgmtCollection/blob/master/plugins/modules/checkpoi...

  script:
    description:
    - Script body contents.
    type: str
    required: true

This mirrors the run-script API documentation.

I haven't run this in my lab, so this might not provide the results. However, I would expect it to look similar to below.

---
- hosts: check_point
  connection: httpapi
  gather_facts: False
  vars_files:
    - 'credentials/ansible_login_information.yml'
  tasks:
  - name: run-script
    check_point.mgmt.cp_mgmt_run_script:
      script: "cpstat os -f all"
      script_name: 'Check stat'
      targets:
      - deployed-gw-1
      wait_for_task_timeout: 30

EDIT: One other thing I didn't mention is that you'll need to query the task-id from the run-script command to see the results for this particular playbook.
