Connection Parameters:

  • Host name / IP Address (text box editor type) (type: string): the DNS name or IP Address of the SSH host.
  • Password (password editor type) (type: string): the password for the provided username.
  • Password Binding (text box editor type) (type: string): bind to a variable containing the encrypted password for the SSH host. (This parameter is used only when the user wants to send an encrypted password from outside the workflow, for example Flowster Portal).
  • SSH Port (text box editor type) (type: Int32): default value for the SSH port is 22.
  • SSH Timeout (text box editor type) (type: Int32): default value for the SSH timeout is 60 seconds to establish a SSH connection to the specified host. 
  • Username (text box editor type) (type: string): the username to connect to the SSH Ansible host.E.g. 'root'

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

  • Output (type: List <KeyValuePair <String,String>>): outputs the ansible result as a json string for each host in a list of keyvaluepair type where key = host name and value= ansible result in json format. To parse the result and get node values, use json activities

In order to iterate through the list of hosts and extract the key = host name and value = ansible result in json format, first use an iteration activity, e.g. Custom ForEach to loop through the list and extract the key and value for each host and store them into variables using Assign activity:
