Ansible output customize

Hi Team

I have written a playbook and using debug variable we are reading the output in multiple play. Is there any way we can customize the output of each registered variable and print it nicely formatted . Any suggestion would be appreciated

Thx

Hi JYL,

Here is what i mean.

TASK [debug] ***********************************************************************************************************************************

ok: [192.168.56.50] => (item= 00:48:30 up 2 min, 1 user, load average: 0.05, 0.06, 0.03) => {

“msg”: " 00:48:30 up 2 min, 1 user, load average: 0.05, 0.06, 0.03"

}

ok: [192.168.56.50] => (item=4.1.12-124.36.4.el7uek.x86_64) => {

“msg”: “4.1.12-124.36.4.el7uek.x86_64”

}

Can we customize above output something like below

TASK [debug] ***********************************************************************************************************************************

“msg”: “Server Uptime is → [’ 00:50:34 up 4 min, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.04, 0.03’]”

“msg”: “Server Kernel is → [‘4.1.12-124.36.4.el7uek.x86_64’]”

Hi,

Did you try a callback that satisfy you ?

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/callback.html

If not you should probably have to create yours…

Ansible is not the most obvious tool to create some reports… What did you want to achieve ? If you want a proper report, perhaps use a template to create what you want on destination nodes and after get files back to your controller with slurp module.

Hi Praveen,

I am looking for a script to take user input and provide system uptime for both Windows and Linux environments.

Any assistance with this playbook is greatly appreciated.

I was only concerned with unix and would use this ad-hoc command:
$ ansible all -m command -a uptime -o
