Below is my playbook that helps check telnet connections from my localhost to all remote hosts.

`

- wait\_for:

host: “{{ item }}”

port: 22

state: started # Port should be open

delay: 0 # No wait before first check (sec)

timeout: 2 # Stop checking after timeout (sec)

ignore\_errors: yes

register: netstatoutput

delegate\_to: localhost

with\_items: “{{ groups[‘all\_hosts’] }}”

`

I get a lot of unnecessary stuff dumped in the logs when i debug like below:

`

- debug:

msg: “{{ netstatoutput }}”  
`

I just need all the failed telnet IPs printed in the debug and nothing else like below:

`  
“msg”: “Timeout when waiting for [10.9.172.62:22](http://10.9.72.62:22/)”  
“msg”: “Timeout when waiting for [10.9.72.66:22](http://10.9.72.62:22/)”  
“msg”: “Timeout when waiting for [10.9.172.42:22](http://10.9.72.62:22/)”

…  
`

Can you please suggest how can I?
