在我的剧本中，我有一个更新 audit.rules 的任务，然后通知应该重新启动 auditd 服务的处理程序。

task:
  - name:  6.6.7 - audit rules configuration
    template: src=X/ansible/templates/auditd_rules.j2
              dest=/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules
              backup=yes
              owner=root group=root mode=0640
     notify:
   - restart auditd


  handlers:
    - name: restart auditd
      service: name=auditd state=restarted

最佳答案

这已在 Red Hat Bugzilla #1026648 中进行了探索、讨论和解决(大部分)。和 Anisble Issue # 22171 (github)报告。

• 使用 ansible service模块参数use=service强制执行 /sbin/service实用程序而不是 systemd 的聚集事实值(调用 /sbin/systemctl )像这样:
• - service: name=auditd state=restarted use=service
• Example playbook (pastebin.com)
  
• 解决方法:
  
• 使用 ansible command模块来显式运行服务可执行文件，如下所示:
• - command: /sbin/service auditd restart
  
• 分析——根本原因:
   

  • This is an issue created by upstream packaging of auditd.service unit. It will not start/stop/restart when acted upon by systemctl, apparently by design.
  • It is further compounded by the Ansible service control function, which uses the preferred method identified when system facts are gathered and "ansible_service_mgr" returns "systemd". This is regardless of the actual module used to manage the service.unit.
  • RHEL dev team may fix if considered a problem in upcoming updates (ERRATA)
  • Ansible dev team has offered a workaround and (as of 2.2) updated the service module with the use parameter.

简单来说就是auditd开发者觉着auditd是系统底层记录日志的服务，不应由管理员重启或停止其服务。

解决方法：

1、使用service auditd restart可以绕过systemctl重启auditd服务。

2、修改systemd服务配置文件/usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service配置RefuseManualStop=No，执行systemctl deamon-reload。后可以使用systemctl restart auditd

在ansible-play里，1、可以使用command模块代替service模块，重启auditd服务。

- command: /sbin/service auditd restart

或者2、修改auditd.service配置文件，使systemctl可以管理auditd
