Ansible - SNMP Service on Windows 10 is not appearing - windows

I am installing SNMP service on Windows 10 through ansible. As per ansible output, it is getting installed but not appearing in the services.msc.
Playbook task
tasks:
- name: Install Service
ansible.windows.win_powershell:
script: add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "SNMP.Client----0.0.1.0"

The name of the feature is actually a little different. It should contain the ~ character instead of -.
Change the install command to this:
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "SNMP.Client~~~~0.0.1.0"
Unfortunately, the output from the install seems to be the same whether or not the correct name was used. If you need to confirm it was installed, I suggest checking the state afterward to verify it's "Installed."
PS C:\> Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "SNMP.Client~~~~0.0.1.0" | Select State

Ansible - Unable to decode JSON from response

I'm trying to run the command show redundant summary on a cisco Wlan controller (Catalyst 6509-E).
When I use this aireos_command from ansible:
- name: show redundancy summary
aireos_command:
commands: show redundancy summary
register: wlan_output
vars:
ansible_connection: local
I get following error (ignore deprecation warning):

Why do i get null as an answer?
Perhaps installing the Python package ansible-pylibssh will help; it seems like the ansible.module_util.connection.Connection class isn't happy with Paramiko and the aireos_command module.

VirtualBox silent install via Ansible fails?

$ ansible --version
ansible 2.10.8
Per Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.1 Silent Install (How-To Guide), I should be able to install VirtualBox silently like this
C:\temp> VirtualBox-6.1.28-147628-Win.exe --silent --ignore-reboot
and if I run the above command in a Windows command prompt, it succeeds and installs VirtualBox.
Now I do this in Ansible
- name: "Install {{ artifact_filename }}"
win_package:
path: "C:\\temp\\VirtualBox-6.1.28-147628-Win.exe"
arguments: "--silent --ignore-reboot"
state: present
and I get this when I run the playbook with the task.

"rc": 1,

"stderr": "",
"stderr_lines": [],
"stdout": "",
"stdout_lines": []
}
What am I missing? TIA.
I RTFM'd the win_package documentation. It says regarding the arguments option
arguments This is only used for the msi, msp, and registry providers.
So I do this instead
- name: "Install VirtualBox"
win_command: "C:\\temp\\VirtualBox-6.1.28-147628-Win.exe --silent --ignore-reboot"
If anyone has a better answer I'm all eyes.

Is there a way to capture the failure output of lineinfile in Ansible

I have a playbook with lineinfile. I need to capture the failure.
When I use register the failed ones of lineinfile are not being capture also the success one does not have enough information like a general register values. (Eg. there is no rc code, stdout or anything)
I need to capture the hosts on which the lineinfile task failed.
Please let me know if there is any method to achieve the requirement.
lineinfile:
path: /test
regexp: "^host"
line: "host myhost 127.0.0.1"
state: present
register: result
I am trying capture this message that is displayed in the verbose but unable to capture it with a register so that I can use the when condition and say when rc == 257 it is to be marked as failed.
fatal: [examplehost]: FAILED! => {
"changed": false,

}
},
"msg": "Destination /test/my does not exist !",
"rc": 257
I don't understand your complaint; lineinfile: is going to ensure that line appears in the target file, and will only use the regexp: bit to assist it in placing the line. If the file does not have a line that starts with host, then lineinfile: will just append the line: to the bottom of the file, and cheerfully report that it did so in result.msg:
changed: [host0] => {"backup": "", "changed": true, "msg": "line added"}
changed: [host1] => {"backup": "", "changed": true, "msg": "line replaced"}

Ansible to Proxmox returning 500 error

I am trying to use Ansible to provision some VMs on my newly set up Proxmox VE. I have installed proxmoxer and request with PIP on both my local Mac and Proxmox VE (Python 2 on Proxmox and Python 3 locally). I use Ansible 2.4.3.0, Proxmox version: 5.1-41.
I do have a vm with the id of 100, which was created from a Debian template, the vm is located on local-lvm (pve).
My full playbook can be found at: https://github.com/atwright147/ansible-contact-book-proxmox-provisioner, the specific task is pasted below:
---
- proxmox_kvm:
api_user: root#pam
api_password: REDACTED
api_host: pve
vmid: 100
state: current
When running this script via: ansible-playbook -vvv --connection=local -i hosts site.yml I get the following error:
The full traceback is:

What am I doing wrong?
It turned out that I was making several mistakes here.
I should have been using the proxmox module rather than proxmox_kvm
I needed to use the storage param to set up the container in local-lvm e.g. storage: local-lvm
My final, working task looks like this:
- name: "Create a Linux Container (LXC)"
proxmox:
node: pve
api_user: root#pam
api_password: proxmox_password
api_host: pve
password: vm_password
hostname: vm.hostname.local
ostemplate: "local:vztmpl/ubuntu-16.04-standard_16.04-1_amd64.tar.gz"
storage: local-lvm
cores: 2
state: present

How to create a directory with particular SE Linux context on it

Here is what I have:
- name: Create directories that will be used as persistent volumes
become: yes
become_method: sudo
file:
path: /tmp/pv-{{ item }}
state: directory
mode: "g=rwx"
group: "root"
selevel: _default
seuser: _default
serole: _default
setype: svirt_sandbox_file_t
with_items:
- cassandra
- services
The two directories are correctly created, group a rights are ok. But the SE Linux context is wrong.
$ ll -dZ /tmp/pv-cassandra
drwxrwxr-x. 2 jkremser root unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s0 40 Mar 9 15:19 /tmp/pv-cassandra
This is the part of the debugging output:
ok: [localhost] => (item=cassandra) => {
"changed": false,
"diff": {

"path": "/tmp/pv-cassandra"
},
"before": {

}
What am I doing wrong? My OS is Fedora 25.
If I use the copy module, instead of the file, that has almost the same parameters, it throws this error:
Aborting, target uses selinux but python bindings (libselinux-python) aren't installed
After installing the libselinux-python package, it works! So it looks like the file module silently swallows the error and does what it can do :( I can't depend on the fact that user has the libselinux-python package installed.
I'll probably call the chcon myself as a shell command or add the package as a prerequisite:
- name: Install the libselinux-python package
package:
name: libselinux-python
state: present
