All,
hope someone can assist here as i seem to be going in circles & not getting anywhere fast.
I am trying to map ACI VRFs to their associated parent tenant.
The modules I am using with some basic Jinja2 filters allow me to map tenant–>vrf but I now need to swap the order, to map vrf–>tenant
The idea is that once I have this mapping, a requester will on;ly need to provide the VRF id & I will map it to the correct tenant.
Here is what i have created so far with the output I have generated.
`
This task should create the dictionary
- set_fact:
my_dict: "{{ my_dict|default({})|combine({my_key: my_val}) }}"
loop: "{{ vrf_query.current|
map(attribute='fvCtx.attributes.dn')|
map('replace', 'uni/tn-', '')|
map('replace', 'ctx-', '')|
list
}}"
vars:
my_regex: '^(.*)\/(.*)$'
my_regex_key: '\2'
my_regex_val: '\1'
my_key: "{{ item|regex_replace(my_regex, my_regex_key) }}"
my_val: "{{ item|regex_replace(my_regex, my_regex_val) }}"
Vladimir,
thanks for that fast response, it worked a wonder getting the info into the right format, thanks, now to move on to using it.
Vladimir,
finally got some time to look at this again & I have the following questions:
The fix you provided works by giving me the output, however I am having trouble getting to use it.
First the output looks as follows:
`
TASK [debug] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

ok: [############] =>

msg: All items completed

`
How do I manage to read just the last my_dict output & use that for my next task in another role?
I can get the output format correct to display just what I am looking for in my variable request.
`
set_fact:
my_dict: “{{ my_dict|default({})|combine({my_key: my_val}) }}”
loop: “{{ vrf_query.current|
map(attribute=‘fvCtx.attributes.dn’)|
map(‘replace’, ‘uni/tn-’, ‘’)|
map(‘replace’, ‘ctx-’, ‘’)|
list
}}”
vars:
my_regex: ‘^(.)/(.)$’
my_regex_key: ‘\2’
my_regex_val: ‘\1’
my_key: “{{ item|regex_replace(my_regex, my_regex_key) }}”
my_val: “{{ item|regex_replace(my_regex, my_regex_val) }}”
register: set_fact_output
debug:
msg: “{{set_fact_output.results}}”
`
I get the above results, but how can i move further down into the output to to get just the result for ‘v13-aci’ from my_dict???
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
