Hello,
I have an inventory file like below:
[group1]
server1.example.com
server2.example.com
[group2]
server3.example.com
server4.example.com
[group1:vars]
field1=a1
field2=a2
[group2:vars]
field1=a3
field2=a4
I need to generate an HTML file like below:
Inventory
| Host | Field1 | Field2 |
| server1.example.com | a1 | a2 |
| server2.example.com | a1 | a2 |
| server3.example.com | a3 | a4 |
| server4.example.com | a4 | a4 |
Basically all the hosts and their values becomes HTML Table. How do I use Ansible playbook to accomplish it?
Thank you,
Xinhuan Zheng

[group1]
server1.example.com
server2.example.com
[group2]
server3.example.com
server4.example.com
[group1:vars]
field1=a1
field2=a2
[group2:vars]
field1=a3
field2=a4
<tr><td>server1.example.com</td><td>a1</td><td>a2</td></tr>
<tr><td>server2.example.com</td><td>a1</td><td>a2</td></tr>
<tr><td>server3.example.com</td><td>a3</td><td>a4</td></tr>
<tr><td>server4.example.com</td><td>a4</td><td>a4</td></tr>
The playbook
- hosts: all
tasks:
- template:
src: table.html.j2
dest: table.html
delegate_to: localhost
run_once: true
and the template
https://gist.github.com/vbotka/a43e33f2a2951ef434f72ebd98a9eb3e
> cat table.html.j2
{% for host in ansible_play_hosts %}
{{ host }} {{ hostvars[host]['field1'] }} {{
hostvars[host]['field2'] }}
{% endfor %}
give
> cat table.html
server1.example.com a1 a2
server2.example.com a1 a2
server3.example.com a3 a4
server4.example.com a3 a4
Add the html code to the template. See "Jinja"

If "group" is the name of the group then use
{% for host in groups['group'] %}
or, simply
{% for host in groups.group %}
If "group" is the variable with the name of the group use
{% for host in groups[group] %}
