[koushik527]

I am getting error when trying to call the falcon-linux-install.sh file through ansible code below

• name Run Falcon installation
  environment:
  FALCON_CLIENT_ID: passing client ID
  FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET: passing secret
  shell: |
  export FALCON_CLIENT_ID=value
  export FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET= value
  opt/falcon-linux-install.sh

Getting error as below

Fatal error - Unable to obtain Crowdstrike Falcon OAuth Token .Double check your credentials and/or ensure you set the correct cloud region.

I am not sure what I am missing..could anyone guide me on this

@koushik527 thanks for opening up an issue. Question for you, why aren't you just using our Ansible collection to do this instead of trying to wrap Ansible around this bash script?

Here's an example of how you can use our Ansible collection to install/configure the sensor for you using pure Ansible:

- hosts: all
  vars:
    falcon_client_id: <FALCON_CLIENT_ID>
    falcon_client_secret: <FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET>
  roles:
  - role: crowdstrike.falcon.falcon_install
  - role: crowdstrike.falcon.falcon_configure

Take a look at the README's for different options you can do within our roles.

Thanks @carlosmmatos for your response... As the code used is maintained am trying to use the same. This was working till last month .. Since I see falcon-linux-install file updated 3 weeks back . I was updating with the latest and am trying getting the error mentioned

Since we don't support running the bash script in Ansible in this repository, the only thing you can do is tell us if you are experiencing an issue with running the script itself without Ansible.

Otherwise, as stated, if you would like an Ansible native way to deploy Falcon to your fleet, please consider using our Red Hat certified Ansible collection, which is fully supported and maintained.
