I am looking forward a way to list the value from a nested variable (which has dict and list values) ie register which is response_find and I have that in mostly json format and most of the values inside the json are nested within [] list like construct.
It works somehow if I get individual values from it like below:
var=response_find['json']['results'][0]['content_facet_attributes']
or
var=response_find['json']['results'][0]['certname']
But did not work when I did below:
var=response_find['json']['results'][0]['content_view_id']
Below are few values which I'm looking forward to fetch from this nested output:
"architecture_name": "x86_64",
"name": "satcap.rest.example.com",
"url": "https://satcap.rest.example.com:9090"

"ip": "192.168.88.88",

Nested Json output:

If you want to do a dictionary out of those data you listed, you could use the filter json_query, which is using JMESPath to parse and process JSON.
In order to extract a dictionary looking like:
{
"architecture_name": "x86_64",
"content_source_name": "satcap.rest.example.com",
"content_source_url": "https://satcap.rest.example.com:9090",
"content_view_name": "ccv-azure-infra-rhel7",
"egistered_through": "satcap.rest.example.com",
"id": 33485,
"ip": "192.168.88.88",
"lifecycle_environment_name": "Prod",
"name": "invwharn108.test.exampl.com"
}
You could use JMESPath to filter multiselect hashes.
Here is a JMESPath query that would give this result:
json.results[*].{
"architecture_name": architecture_name,
"content_source_name": content_facet_attributes.content_source.name,
"content_source_url": content_facet_attributes.content_source.url,
"content_view_name": content_facet_attributes.content_view.name,
"lifecycle_environment_name": content_facet_attributes.lifecycle_environment.name,
"id": id,
"ip": ip,
"name": name,
"egistered_through": subscription_facet_attributes.registered_through
}
Here is an example playbook using this:
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- debug:
msg: >-
{{
(
response_find | json_query('
json.results[*].{
"architecture_name": architecture_name,
