A follow-up question:
I have the "include_tasks" working, now I'm trying to expand on that. Each
iteration through retrieve's a VM's snapshot info and registers that into a
variable. This is within the "loop" task for each VM. When I try to print
that out, all I get is:
TASK [Print results]
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"guest_snapshots": {}
}
}
Eventually I'd like to put that into a template and email it, but how can I
retrieve that variable for each iteration?
Thanks,
Harry
