Appending Hostname to a File

I have playbook that search for file in specific folder then fetch the files to my ansible host. During the fetch process, is there a way to append the hostname of the server the file came from for each file that’s being save to my ansible host? Below is the playbook i’m currently using to to find and fetch files.

Thanks in advance.

  • hosts: all
    gather_facts: yes
    tasks:

  • win_shell: dir /b C:\Temp
    args:
    executable: cmd
    register: results

  • debug:
    var: results.stdout_lines

  • name: get the files
    fetch:
    src: “C:/Temp/{{ item }}”
    dest: /tmp/files/
    flat: yes
    with_items: “{{ results.stdout_lines }}”

You have the variable inventory_hostname
So you could set your dest to /tmp/files/{{ item}}_{{ inventory_hostname }}
