How to isolate ansible output based on key
I am trying to isolate the output of the ansible playbook however it says "output.stdout": "VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!"
My playbook code is:
---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: Register variable
shell: "echo {{ item }}"
loop:
- "one"
- "two"
register: output
- debug:
var: output.stdout
Interestingly , the debug output works fine if i dont isolate it using stdout key.
TASK [Register variable] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [localhost] => (item=one)
changed: [localhost] => (item=two)
TASK [debug] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"output": {
"changed": true,
"msg": "All items completed",
"results": [
{
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"changed": true,
"cmd": "echo one",
"delta": "0:00:00.002986",
"end": "2020-01-24 00:20:57.226744",
"failed": false,
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"_raw_params": "echo one",
"_uses_shell": true,
"argv": null,
"chdir": null,
"creates": null,
What am i doing wrong ?
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_loops.html#registering-variables-with-a-loop
When you use register with a loop, the data structure placed in the variable will contain a results attribute that is a list of all responses from the module
Thus:
output.results[0].stdout
output.results[1].stdout
