Usage of dictionaries for oracle_health and tablespace_usage

Service Monitoring

Hi,

  vars.oracle_health["tablespace-usage"] = {
    oracle_health_name = [ "SYSTEM", "USERS" ]
  }

creates a nested condition - you want services for

  • tablespace-usage with SYSTEM
  • tablespace-usage with USERS

The current apply for look only names tablespace-usage as loop key, and doesn’t know how to access the inner additional tablespace names.

There’s two solutions for this:

Either you create unique key-names inside the host object for vars.oracle_health, like

  vars.oracle_health["tablespace-usage-system"] = {
    oracle_health_name = "SYSTEM"
  }
  vars.oracle_health["tablespace-usage-users"] = {
    oracle_health_name = "USERS"
  }

and cut the mode inside the apply for loop, like

  if (match("tablespace-usage*", mode)) {
     vars.oracle_health_mode = "tablespace-usage"
  } else {
     vars.oracle_health_mode = mode
  }

or you’ll follow this howto to flatten specific nested arrays. Keep in mind that this may not work with the other keys in vars.oracle_health then.

The main problem is that oracle_health_name only takes a single tablespace name, not arrays or lists.

Cheers,
