telegraf_plugins_extra is override when multiple call about ansible-telegraf HOT 5 CLOSED

@sinc59 did you take a look at http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_configuration.html#hash-behaviour ?
you can try hash_behaviour = merge, but be care to not merge other settings.

Same issue.

I think you could use filename directive to generate different file names:

• group_vars/postgres_database:

telegraf_plugins_extra:
    - plugin: postgresql
      filename: postgresql
      config:
          - address = "postgres://user:password@localhost/postgres"

• group_vars/rabbitmq

telegraf_plugins_extra:
    - plugin: rabbitmq
      filename: rabbitmq
      config:
        - url = "http://localhost:15672"

This was solved in 0.9.0. See #46.

You will need to change your config to a hash instead of a list, and need hash_behaviour=merge in your ansible.cfg.

• group_vars/postgres_database:

telegraf_plugins_extra:
  postgresql:
    config:
      - address = "postgres://user:password@localhost/postgres"

• group_vars/rabbitmq

telegraf_plugins_extra:
  rabbitmq:
    config:
      - url = "http://localhost:15672"
