Hi ,
I am re-opening this thread as I get a new question on above the existing
one.
Sorry for that..(not lazy to open another)
Is there a way to use the output of play1 , which is a list(of variables)
to be passed variable to the second play2
The playbook for illustration only .
---
- name: play 1
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: task1 in play1
shell: 'cat list_of_servers'
register: task1_output
- set_fact:
server_list: "{{task1_output.stdout}}"
- name: print the servers collected
debug:
msg: "{{server_list}}"
- name: play 2
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: printing the smb.conf from the target servers
debug:
msg: "{{lookup('file', '/etc/samba/smb.conf')}}"
- name: printing the /etc/issue from the target servers
debug:
msg: "{{lookup('file', '/etc/issue')}}"
Let's assume that after multiple tasks execution in play1, I got a list
of servers. (list exactly ... in set_fact)
server1
server11
server111
I want to use those variables as an input to the second play(play2).
Logically .. the second play must be executed with (- e server1) and
after all the tasks in play2 executed .. it should re-run play2 with (-e
server 11) and the loop should continue until the server111.
Is it possible to pass the variables which are the output from play1 as an
input variable to play with multiple tasks ?
On looping ., is there a way to repeat the play2(with all its tasks) for
the each listed item of the variables .. server1.. server11.. server111)
$ ap Untitled-2.yml
