I'm trying to get the inventory host group names by below process which is not working
- debug:
msg: "{{ groups['{{ item }}'] }}"
with_items: "{{ vm.stdout_lines }}"
this is what actually I'm trying to do I will get a list of servers by a shell script
- name: Getting the servers list
shell: |
sh getServers.sh
register: vm
Then adding them into inventory by add_host
- name: Creating Logical host_group for each server
add_host:
name: "{{ item }}"
groups: ["{{item }}"]
with_items: "{{ vm.stdout_lines }}"
register: inv
Here I'm trying to get the only groups I've added in above step instead of all groups
- debug:
msg: "{{ groups['{{ item }}'] }}"
with_items: "{{ vm.stdout_lines }}"
Error is
{"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute '{{ item }}'
Appreciate help on this!
Fix the syntax
msg: "{{ groups[item] }}"
