Hi All,

I’m facing an issue with extract the value from the below ansible code

item.content.values()

[‘sp.\*.cpu.summary.utilization’, ‘2022-02-02T10:30:00.000Z’, 300, {‘spa’: 10.777033477143537}]

but fetching the SPA is not happening

Tried with “item.content.values().[3].spa”

extra dot

"item.content.values()[3].spa"

either use dot notation or bracket for each segment, cannot use both  
at same time
