Itop2inventory

Purpose

Itop2inventory is made to convert itop cmdb entry to an ansible inventory

It will convert itop class information to hostvars elements

Requierement

• Python >= 3

Setup

• Clone repository
• define credential and filter in config.ini
• invoke inventory

Config.ini

Main section [ITOP] is used to define url, credentials and api version of ITOP Sub section [class::FOO] is used to make vars from

[itop]
# Itop api url (example : https://foobar.com/webservices/rest.php)
url = 
# Itop api user (user as to be allow in itop configuration)
user = 
# Itop password
passwd = 
# Set api version ( latest version 1.3 )
version = 1.3

[class::Server]
# Only filter top level field and make vars with them ( ex: prefix + fieldname )
filter = name, organization_name, applicationsolution_list
# make group for ansible select a top level unit
group_filter = organization_name
# How to map vars with role
roles_mapping = applicationsolution_name
# Prefix of vars of role_mapping for ansible
role_prefix = role
# Prefix of vars not from role mapping
prefix = itop

[class::NetworkDevice]
# Only filter top level field and make vars with them ( ex: prefix + fieldname )
filter = name, organization_name, applicationsolution_list
# make group for ansible select a top level unit
group_filter = organization_name
# How to map vars with role
roles_mapping = applicationsolution_name
# Prefix of vars of role_mapping for ansible
role_prefix = role
# Prefix of vars not from role mapping
prefix = itop

If user as no right in itop that's the return the script give:

{
    "_meta": {
        "hostvars": {}
    }
}

Itop output

"Server3": {
                "itop_name": "Server3",
                "itop_applicationsolution_list": [
                    {
                        "friendlyname": "13 3",
                        "applicationsolution_id": "13",
                        "applicationsolution_id_friendlyname": "itop",
                        "applicationsolution_name": "itop"
                    },
                    {
                        "friendlyname": "36 3",
                        "applicationsolution_id": "36",
                        "applicationsolution_id_friendlyname": "icinga2-client",
                        "applicationsolution_name": "icinga2-client"
                    }
                ],
                "itop_organization_name": "Demo"
            },

Ansible

Config inventory in Ansible

~# vi <ansible_config_dir>/ansible.cfg

[defaults]
inventory = ./inventory

Test Ansible inventory

~# ansible -m ping <host_to_test>

Output for Ansile inventory

~# ./inventory --output-indent 4
