Hi Folks, Does anyone had an experience to use imc\_rest module ? I’m trying to get information or output about hardware inventory . Say for example, I have equipmentPsu to check PSU status. however, the output is not showing when I run my playbook. is there a way to filter the attributes? My playbook: ---

I think you need to register the result of this module and then to some operation on it. Such as debug to display it. This is not specific to the imc\_rest module: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/playbooks\_variables.html#registering-variables](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#registering-variables) ---

I already tried to set register and debug but got the below error. “msg”: "Unsupported parameters for (imc\_rest) module: register Supported parameters include: content, hostname, password, path, protocol, timeout, username, validate\_certs Thanks, Ramesh ---

This is because your indentation is incorrect, so fix that. ---

Yes, I’m able to get output now .thanks! … But that seems to be a very big and confusing ( what need to be looked ) anyone knows how to filter particular output from the below, Playbook, ---

That can be done with json\_query: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/playbooks\_filters.html#selecting-json-data-json-queries](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html#selecting-json-data-json-queries) ---

This will give you a list of just the values: "{{ disk\_output|json\_query('configResolveDn.children[0].outConfig.children[0].equipmentPsu.attributes|[dn, id, operability, presence]') }}" i.e.:   - sys/rack-unit-1/psu-1   - '1'   - operable   - equipped Something like this will yield a dict that contains keys as well: "{{ disk\_output|json\_query('configResolveDn.children[0].outConfig.children[0].equipmentPsu.attributes.{dn: dn, id: id, operability: operability, presence:presence}') }}" I.e.:     dn: sys/rack-unit-1/psu-1     id: '1'     operability: operable     presence: equipped ---

Either use a vars argument correctly, or don't use it at all. See the examples on [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/playbooks\_filters.html#selecting-json-data-json-queries](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html#selecting-json-data-json-queries). I would only use a vars argument if the query contains variables itself, or lots of backticks etc. This case does not warrant that. ---
