So I’m trying to setup a shinken-enviroment and it has a similar syntax to Nagios.
In the contactgroups.cfg I need to put all my admins on one line.
Is there anyway to take entries from a list of dicts and flatten them to one line?
Below is my test-example

  - hosts: localhost

    vars:
      users:
       - name: Andrew
       - name: Doug
       - name: Paul
       - name: ipphone
    tasks:
     - debug: var=users
     - name: test
       template: src=../templates/test.j2
                 dest=/home/root/test.cfg

>
The template:
>
define contactgroup{
    contactgroup_name Admins
    alias Seamless_internal_admins
    members {{ users.name }}
}
>

result:
>
define contactgroup{
    contactgroup_name JAPS
    alias Seamless_internal_admins
    members Doug
}
>

Desired result:
>
define contactgroup{
    contactgroup_name JAPS
    alias Seamless_internal_admins
    members Andrew,Doug,Paul,ipphone
}
