Hello Everyone,

Is there anyway to fetch the content of register variable I defined in my playbook , after the job is successfully executed in AWX.

hosts: windows  
tasks:

- name: Search-only, return list of updates found (if any), log to c:\ansible\_wu1.txt  
win\_updates:  
category\_names:
- CriticalUpdates  
state: installed  
log\_path: c:\ansible\_wu1.txt  
reboot: yes  
**register: update\_result**

I want this **update\_result** values in AWX so that I can **email** the patches avaialble.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Harsh,

I think you could do this by caching the result which I think you’d need to set using “set\_fact” and setting “cacheable” to be True and enable caching for the job\_template in AWX.

Hello Rod,

I was able to gather facts for the host. But when i am customizing my notification body for email notification I am not able to include the variable and getting below error.

Can you please suggest how to include the variable **update\_result** value in here.
