Manage tasks

Execute / Cancel tasks on CloudVision

cv_task_v3 manage tasks on CloudVision:

• Execute tasks on CloudVision
• Cancel tasks on Cloudvision

Inputs

The documentation is available in the module section.

Input variables

• list of tasks
• state (executed or cancelled). Default is executed

Example:

- hosts: cv_server

  tasks:
    - name: Execute task 743
      arista.cvp.cv_task_v3:
        tasks:
          - 743
        state: executed

We can execute tasks generated by other modules by: * registering the output in a variable * giving the list of tasks ID to execute with the .taskIds field to the cv_task_v3 module.

Example of moving 2 devices to a container and execute the tasks:

- hosts: cv_server
  vars:
    devices:
      - fqdn: DC1-SPINE1
        parentContainerName: mycontainer
        configlets:
          - DC1-SPINE1-configlet
      - fqdn: DC1-SPINE2
        parentContainerName: mycontainer
        configlets:
          - DC1-SPINE2-configlet

  tasks:
    - name: "Move devices to mycontainer and apply configlet"
      arista.cvp.cv_device_v3:
        devices: "{{devices}}"
        state: present
      register: CV_DEVICE_OUTPUT

    - name: Execute generated tasks
      arista.cvp.cv_task_v3:
        tasks: "{{ CV_DEVICE_OUTPUT.taskIds }}"
