Hi,

I have list of items in configuration files as variable

hostenv:

- env: test  
Serverconf:  
Resource:
- mem:  
Interface:
- { name: eth0, address: 10.0.10.2}
- {eth1: …}

Now, I would like to fetch and print the values from interface {{ item.address }}

I tried to loop multiple usecase, but failed with object undefined error

Playbook:  
task:

- debug:  
msg: {{ item.address }}  
loop: {{ hostenv.Serverconf.Interface }}  
loop\_var: item

Thanks

It’s hard to tell from this platform’s poor support of indentation, but it appears “hostenv” is a list. Try  
loop: “{{ hostenv[0].Serverconf.Interface }}”
