Hi,

I am new to AWX, I have a template which runs through a job submission. This templates runs a playbook which setups some nodes and generates a random ssh port to connect to the nodes. I need to get this port number because I need it somewhere else.

How could I do this?

thank you

Maybe I should paraphrase.

Is it possible to get the variables from a job submission once the job is finished?

I set variables with the set\_stats: data: in jobs for use in subsequent jobs in the same workflow.

I have also used the cacheable: true option with set\_fact to persist the variable in the host cache.
