Hey all,

Is there any way to write out where I would get a summary of a playbook, other than what is already given with the passes, fails, changed, etc. Let’s say I write a playbook listing all servers/workstations that need to be rebooted after a kernel patch.

Is there a way to do this? I’ve got a playbook already in place that where it says:

- debug:  
msg: “{{ inventory\_hostname}} {{ reboot\_required.stdout }}”  
when: reboot\_required.stdout == “reboot”  
tags: reboot

That goes as the playbook runs. I’d like to get a listing of all that match this at the end. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Chris
