community.mongodb.mongodb_status – Validates the status of the replicaset.
Note
This plugin is part of the community.mongodb collection (version 1.3.1).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.
To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.mongodb.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.mongodb.mongodb_status.
New in version 1.0.0: of community.mongodb
Synopsis
- Validates the status of the replicaset.
 - The module expects all replicaset nodes to be PRIMARY, SECONDARY or ARBITER.
 - Will wait until a timeout for the replicaset state to converge if required.
 - Can also be used to lookup the current PRIMARY member (see examples).

Notes
Note
- Requires the pymongo Python package on the remote host, version 2.4.2+. This can be installed using pip or the OS package manager. @see http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/installation.html
 
Examples
- name: Check replicaset is healthy, fail if not after first attempt
  community.mongodb.mongodb_status:
    replica_set: rs0
  when: ansible_hostname == "mongodb1"
- name: Wait for the replicaset rs0 to converge, check 5 times, 10 second interval between checks
  community.mongodb.mongodb_status:
    replica_set: rs0
    poll: 5
    interval: 10
  when: ansible_hostname == "mongodb1"
# Get the replicaset status and then lookup the primary's hostname and save to a variable
