Hi folks,
We decided to add cron to compress some merged logs. So I realize that we didn't have any Ansible role to do this. Currently we manage cron tasks separately in the component's role, and
IMO
it will be difficult to find/make modifications when needed.
Do you think it's beneficial to create new one ? Or perhaps someone has clever ideas :) ?
+1/-1 ??
I'm not sure cron is big enough to make a role worthwhile.
You mean make a role that takes file/template name, when to run and puts it in /etc/cron.d/ ? Yes absolutely !
We do have the ansible 'cron' module, which can do /etc/cron.d/ files as well, but of course still needs copying the template/file script first before it can be scheduled.
So, I could be convinced, but I don't think it's worth it off hand...
The idea is to minimize the task of ansible roles, and avoid having the same tasks everywhere (copy script and schedule the job). I admit that it's not going to be easy but it can be done . Otherwise we will have only one role (cron) , and an overloading variable under group_vars.
Happy to hear other/more thoughts on it tho, and thanks for bringing up the idea. It's nice when we can consolidate things into less duplication. :)
