Hello Everyone,
I’m trying to pass the numeric values of an variable into JSON.

  • name: Device ID
    set_fact:
    “device_id”: “{{ device_item_netbox.id }}”

  • name: DEBUG - DEVICE ID
    debug: msg=“{{ device_id }}”

Output -

TASK [DEBUG - DEVICE ID] ********************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] =>
msg: ‘3483’

When I try to pass the same into JSON body-

  • name: Create Interface - Netbox
    uri:
    url: “{{ netbox_url }}/api/dcim/interfaces/”
    return_content: yes
    method: POST
    validate_certs: false
    status_code: 200,201
    headers:
    Authorization: “Token {{ netbox_server_token }}”
    body_format: json
    body:
    {
    “device”: “{{ device_id }}”,
    “name”: “GigabitEthernet0/0”,
    “mac_address”: “xxxxx231”,
    “type”: “10gbase-t”,
    “enabled”: “true”,
    “description”: “GigabitEthernet0/0”
    }

Verbose output -

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => changed=false
allow: GET, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE
api_version: ‘2.8’
content: ‘{“non_field_errors”:[“The fields device, name must make a unique set.”]}’
content_length: ‘72’
content_type: application/json
elapsed: 0
invocation:
module_args:
attributes: null
body:
description: GigabitEthernet0/0
device: ‘3483’
enabled: ‘true’
mac_address: xxxxx231
name: GigabitEthernet0/0
type: 10gbase-t

But when I add something with variables like below, it removes adding quotes -

body:
{
“device”: “{{ device_id }} m”,

Verbose output -

module_args:
attributes: null
body:
description: GigabitEthernet0/0
device: 3483 m

Please advise how can I fetch/pass only numeric digits without quotes.
