Hello, all.

It's been a long time since I posted here, so please forgive any posting faux pas.

I've created the following playboos:

---
- name: report aws migrator
hosts: all
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: collect facts
shell:
cmd: facter -p fqdn processorcount memorysize_mb blockdevice_sda_size blockdevice_vda_size operatingsystem
operatingsystemrelease is_virtual processor0 --json
register: facter_output

\- name: print output
  debug:
    msg: "\{\{ facter\_output\.stdout \}\}"
\- local\_action: copy content="\{\{ facter\_output\.stdout \}\}"\. dest="/Users/dyioulos/Documents/prodrept\.txt"

The problem is with the output to file. Data are overwritten, and

information for only the last host the playbook is

run against is captured. Additionally, i have to put any character here (denoted by ^): - local_action: copy
content="{{ facter_output.stdout }}"^ dest="/Users/dyioulos/Documents/prodrept.txt" in order for the output to be in
json format. That extra character is also printed, including if I

use newline) is also printed.

Your help in soving this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Dimitri,

to collect the output from all hosts please try the following approach:

- local_action:
    module: copy
    content: |
      {% for host in ansible_play_hosts %}
      {{ host }}
      {{ hostvars[host]['facter_output']['stdout'] }}

      {% endfor %}
    dest: "/Users/dyioulos/Documents/prodrept.txt"
  run_once: yes

Regards

Racke,

For my edification, might I ask exactly what your code does?

Thanks,

Dimitri
