I am new to Anisble and I have been trying to get Anisble to take the
output of a local json file and read it, store the information and then
output the data. I think I was successful because it does output the data
in the file. What I am having trouble with is getting just a specific piece
of data to display so I know Anisble is parsing the right section of the
json file so I can pass it to a variable in the playbook. I feel I have
tried almost everything but with no success.
JSON EXAMPLE
}, "receiving_dns_records": [ { "cached": [], "priority": "10",
"record_type": "MX", "valid": "unknown", "value": "mxa.domain.org" },

jsondata: "{{ lookup('file', '/home/name/appdir/output.json') |

jsondata: "{{ jsondata }}"
- name: Print variable JSON data
debug:
var: jsondata
- name: Output specific JSON data
debug:
msg: "this is where I get lost I have tried JMES Query and Debug
MSG but every example I see fails"
