The inconsistencies in your indentation lead me to suspect you are withholding evidence. :) Assuming your code is this:

*- name: check previous kafka broker server.properties shell: "ps -ef | grep -i kafka | grep -i server.properties | awk '{print $NF}'" register: serverfile tags: - upgrade - upgrade12 - name: debug grepout set_fact: srvfilepath: "{{ item }}" loop: "{{ serverfile.stdout_lines }}" when: "'server' in item" tags: - upgrade - upgrade12 - name: get the interbroker and messge format version details if set shell: 'grep -e inter.broker.protocol.version -e log.message.format.version {{srvfilepath}}' register: regintbrkpt tags: - upgrade12 - name: display interbroker version debug: msg: "{{ item }}" loop: - "{{regintbrkpt.stdout_lines}}" tags: - upgrade12*

Because the "*display interbroker version*" task is claiming *item* is undefined, then the previous task is not registering anything containing *stdout_lines*. I would not be surprised to find the poorly named "*debug grepout*" task is not finding '*server*' in the expected output from the first task, possibly because the shell pipeline isn't producing what you expect.

Suggestions:
* Run with *-vv* until this is working reliably.
* Insert debug tasks after every task that registers to ensure the data you are passing to subsequent tasks is what you expect. * Consider using *pgrep -f -a kafka* and *grep -o* with to extract relevant data from existing processes command lines.

Good luck; let us know what you find.
