ansible-lint VS community.zabbix

Ansible-lint version 6.14.6 is here, started using ruff linter along with 10+ bugfixes in this release.

Ansible-Devtools team made a new release of Ansible-Lint version 6.14.2 with couple of exciting bugfixes.

The Devtools team has released ansible-lint version 6.14.0, which includes 23 bugfixes and 3 minor changes. Please refer to the changelog here for more information.

ansible-lint 6.14 was released, dropping support for py38 and including over 25 changes and bugfixes.

Ansible-lint 6.13 introduces a new feature that allows users to utilize a .ansible-lint-ignore file. This file contains skip-rules that are loaded from the ignore file which is adjacent to the config file. Additionally, users can take advantage of the --generate-ignore argument to dump any current violations into an ignore file.

Cool, but ansible-lint and the official RedHat docs are a much better way to ensure you're using the official best practices. No offense, but stuff two random guys on Reddit threw together isn't a great resource for best practices.

Check https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/discussions/2534 for details and comment there if you detect any regressions.

There is more context here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/issues/578

ansible-lint 6.4.0 was released with lots of bugfixes and a new feature called "profiles", one that allow you to easily pick which set of rules you want to follow. https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/discussions/2254

I use vanilla vim or nvim with checks from ansible-lint.

However, there is a breaking change to https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.zabbix/blob/main/plugins/inventory/zabbix_inventory.py which breaks the ability to import host groups from zabbix. This means you'll have all the hosts into one single group.

Use the "official" zabbix collection, there seems no "force psk renewal' present but you could just insert a pre_task to delete it and run the role: https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.zabbix/blob/main/roles/zabbix_agent/tasks/tlspsk_auto_linux.yml

i'm using community.zabbix for deploying the zabbix_agent2 on Windows Machines.

We are happy to welcome several new maintainers in the community.zabbix collection: pyrodie18, BGmot and lzadjsf. Thank you, folks, for your interest and desire to help! Many thanks to D3DeFi, one of the current collection maintainers, for promoting them!

As for automation, I'm about to start playing with: Ansible Collection: Community Zabbix So that might prove useful for you too.

for community.zabbix: With the release of Zabbix 6.0 LTS we would love to get some help on blocking issues like with the integration of a new scripts module. Thank you for your attention!

A lot has been happening in the community.zabbix collection. They've gained two new maintainers, rockaut and ragingpastry, congratulations to both and thank you for your continued great work. The team has recently released version 1.5.1. If you're interested in Zabbix, join the active discussion in #community-zabbix_community:gitter.im via Matrix.

The ansible collection is very good (no one wants to setup manually agent and extend checks with user-parameters manually): https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.zabbix (works for all components).

Yes, each role has their own Molecule configuration and tests. So with every change you make in your role, Molecule will test this. (Keep note: It needs to be executed from Jenkins/GitLab CI/Github Actions etc). Once everything is valid, you will merge the code to master|main. See: https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.zabbix/tree/main/molecule These are the roles I maintain, everytime when someone is creating a PR to add new code/functionality, molecule is executed. When Molecule exits correctly (exit code of 0), then to me the role is ok (In a nutshell). And when the role is ok, I will accept/merge the PR.
