How can I log inventory_hostname to a file on the remote using a Playbook?
needed to use this (changed to copy as suggested by @Michael Hampton):
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
- name: "Create custom fact directory"
file:
path: "/etc/ansible/facts.d"
state: "directory"
- name: "Insert custom fact file"
copy:
content: "#!/bin/bash\necho {\\\"ansible_LAN_hostname\\\" : \\\"{{ inventory_hostname }}\\\"}"
dest: /etc/ansible/facts.d/lan_hostname.fact
owner: root
group: sysadmin
mode: 0775
