vyos.vyos.vyos_hostname module – Manages hostname resource module

Note

This module is part of the vyos.vyos collection (version 4.1.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install vyos.vyos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: vyos.vyos.vyos_hostname.

New in vyos.vyos 2.8.0

Synopsis 

This module manages the hostname attribute of Vyos network devices

Aliases: hostname

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config dictionary	Hostname configuration.
hostname string	set hostname for VYOS.
running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the vyos device by executing the command “show configuration commands \| grep host-name”. The state parsed reads the configuration from `running_config` option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module’s argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.
state string	The state the configuration should be left in The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in `config` option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The states merged, replaced and overridden have identical behaviour for this module. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from `running_config` option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of `running_config` option should be the same format as the output of command show configuration commands \| grep host-name executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required. Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"` `"gathered"` `"parsed"` `"rendered"`

Note

Tested against vyos 1.1.8
This module works with connection network_cli.
The Configuration defaults of the Vyos network devices are supposed to hinder idempotent behavior of plays

Return Values 

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Description
after dictionary	The resulting configuration after module execution. Returned: when changed Sample: `"This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"`
before dictionary	The configuration prior to the module execution. Returned: when state is `merged`, `replaced`, `overridden`, `deleted` or `purged` Sample: `"This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"`
commands list / elements=string	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Returned: when state is `merged`, `replaced`, `overridden`, `deleted` or `purged` Sample: `["sample command 1", "sample command 2", "sample command 3"]`
gathered list / elements=string	Facts about the network resource gathered from the remote device as structured data. Returned: when state is `gathered` Sample: `["This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"]`
parsed list / elements=string	The device native config provided in running_config option parsed into structured data as per module argspec. Returned: when state is `parsed` Sample: `["This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"]`
rendered list / elements=string	The provided configuration in the task rendered in device-native format (offline). Returned: when state is `rendered` Sample: `["sample command 1", "sample command 2", "sample command 3"]`
