Hello everyone,

I’m attempting to get a list of information of all my machines to send in an email:

Hostname - OS (and) Version

so essentially:

{{ ansible_hostname }} - {{ ansible_distribution }} {{ ansible_distribution_version }}

I tried something like this but it does not work:

  • name: SET FACT FOR ANSIBLE FACTS
    set_fact:
    machine_os: “{{ ansible_facts }}”
2

Can you show me the error message?

Hello everyone,

I'm attempting to get a list of information of all my machines to send
in an email:

*Hostname - OS (and) Version *

so essentially:

*{{ ansible_hostname }} - {{ ansible_distribution }} {{
ansible_distribution_version }}*

I tried something like this but it does not work:

- name: SET FACT FOR ANSIBLE FACTS
set_fact:
machine_os: "{{ ansible_facts }}"
#
#
- name: DISTRIBUTION AND MAJOR VERSION
debug:
msg: "{% for os in machine_os %}{{ os.ansible_hostname }} - {{
os.ansible_distribution }} {{ os.ansible_distribution_version }}{%
endfor %}"

Would anyone know how I could generate this list of information for all
my machines to send via email?

Please give this a try:

    - name: Collect information on all machines
      set_fact:
        machine_info: |
          {% for host in ansible_play_hosts %}
          {{ hostvars[host]['ansible_hostname'] }} - {{ hostvars[host]['ansible_distribution'] }} {{ hostvars[host]['ansible_distribution_version'] }}
          {% endfor %}
      run_once: yes
