I get what you're saying, but when I just debug print {{ item }} using the
results variable, I see all of the snapshots listed. If I add in the loop
and use {{ item[0] }}, I see the same information, and description is
included. But when I try to add description to the output, I am told that
it doesn't exist. So I'm at the "until you get the expression right"
phase, but no matter what I use, the expression isn't right.
- name: Gather VM Snapshot info
redhat.rhv.ovirt_snapshot_info:
auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}"
vm: "{{ item }}"
register: result
with_items:
- "vm1"
- name: Show results
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ item[0].description }}"
loop:
- "{{ result.results | json_query('[*].ovirt_snapshots') }}"
Thanks,
Harry
