I’m instaling collectd service using ansible version 2.4 and making some changes into the colectd config and that’s working fine.  
In my playbook i’m using `lineinfile` module to make the chnages in the collectd confg file using the regex , here i have two `lineinfile` chnages one is to chnage  
the default Hostname from the config file using `ansible_hostname` variable while in another line i have some Prefix’s which i’m changing and that the Key point for my playbook…

For clarification belwo the line where i need the playbook to be opting the values dynamically  
Example:  
a) this is what is value looks like  
Prefix “collectd..\<Changable\_StateName\>.\<Changable\_location\>”  
b) this is what i’m appending values manually in my play as of now …  
Prefix "collectd.OpenDJ.EMEA.sophia.

My Invetory looks like as follows( this is based on host:var and using private keys over)
