Troubleshooting Ansible Inventories Generation¶
Why do that¶
During PunchPlatform deployment, an error occurs during inventories generation :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | Generating new '/home/admin/pp-conf/platforms/production/generated_inventory/current-deployment.inv' ansible inventory from PunchPlatform property file '/home/admin/pp-conf/punchplatform.properties' deployment settings '/home/admin/pp-conf/punchplatform-deployment.settings' distribs '{ "local_punchplatform_distribs_dir" : /home/admin/punchplatform-deployer-3.0.5/archives, "local_dependencies_distribs_dir": /home/admin/punchplatform-deployer-3.0.5/archives }' jinja template '/home/admin/punchplatform-deployer-3.0.5/inventory_templates/punchplatform-deployment-inventory-template.j2' Computing dynamic values from properties and settings files... ERROR: Could not retrieve element matching json path '.elasticsearch.clusters.es_search.nodes.target.myzone.lan.rack_id. punchplatform-deployer.sh:commons-lib.sh:695 FATAL ERROR could not read PunchPlatform property 'elasticsearch.clusters.es_search.nodes.target.myzone.lan.rack_id'. punchplatform-deployer.sh:punchplatform-lib.sh:137 |
What to do¶
- You've completed a field with a long hostname (target.myzone.lan here) instead of a short name (target here). Please correct your punchplatform.properties configuration file as following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | "elasticsearch": { "clusters": { "es_search": { "nodes": { "target": { (instead of "target.myzone.lan") ... }, ... }, ... }, ... }, ... } |
Furthermore, in case of single machine deployment all hostnames have to be short (without a point .).

Relaunch deployer:
punchplatform-deployer.sh --deploy -k -K (passwords will be asked)
