Hi Todd,
my original playbook works just fine, the problem is with the second one
where i want the report just for the failed ones, my first play book give
me all the output due to special variable {% for host in ansible_play_hosts_all
%}
I tried to use if condition to filter the result of the failed ones
{% for host in ansible_play_hosts_all %}
{% if 'Completed Successfully' not in hostvars[host]['mksys']['msg'] %}
{{ '###' }}{{ host }}{{ '###' }}
{{ '--------------------------' }}
{{ hostvars[host]['mksys']['msg'] }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
This condition generates nothing., If am running the play on 100 nodes and
5 failed, i want the "hostvars[host]['mksys']['msg']" of the failed ones to
a file.
