I’m trying to create a report when we do our updates via yum (rhel 7) and dnf (rhel 8). I register the output in variables called yum\_rhel7 and yum \_rhel8. Here’s my j2 file:

Yum/DNF Update Report

{{ now(false, ‘%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S’) }}

No curly braces in conditions, e.g. use

{% if hostvars[i]['ansible\_distribution\_major\_version'] == '7' %}

Also

{% if 'skipped' not in hostvars[i]['yum\_rhel7'] %}

is probably more correct.
