Your first play is targeting *server1*, while your second play is
targeting a different host.
If the reg_name is available in the second task, you would need to
retrieve it relative to *server1*:
*msg: "{{ hostvars['server1']['reg_name'] }}"*
You should look at and contrast the values of *ansible_hostname*,
*inventory_hostname*, and *ansible_fqdn*.

I have a 2 tasks in a playbook and from task1 I have a variable
collected from the register output as below.
- name: Playbook to collect the actual hostname
hosts: server1
become: yes
tasks:
- name: collect the actual hostname
shell: 'hostname'
register: short_name
- name: collect the hostname for the next task
set_fact:
reg_name: "{{short_name.stdout_lines[-1].split('.')[1] }}"
- name: Playbook to test the new hostname collections
hosts: 127.0.0.1
become: yes
tasks:
- name: print the collected hostname
debug:
msg: {{reg_name }}
collecting the host's shortname using set_fact is working .
However the data stored using set_fact in reg_name is not carry to
the next task.
Is there an option/module available to have the variable from one task
to be made available to the next?
