Hi,

the variable syntax seems to be wrong.

Could you please try to replace:
replace: ‘private_ip: {{ hostvars.[serverFqdn][‘host_ip’] }}’

by :
replace: “private_ip: {{ hostvars[serverFqdn][‘host_ip’] }}”

Thanks,

Hi Petetin,

Thanks for your response.

The proposed code fails to get the actual value from hostvar; instead, the code itself placed in the ‘path’.

Result:

cat /tmp/test_params.yaml
private_ip: hostvars[‘server1.com’].host_ip

Looks like we need some other way to eval ‘hostvars[‘server1.com’].host_ip’.

I did try replace: “{{ “private_ip: {{ hostvars[serverFqdn][‘host_ip’] }}”}}” but no luck.

Thanks a lot, Petetin.

My bad; the variable format suggested by you works fine. Please ignore my previous email.
