Loop with Register and query output

Hi there,

I am trying to retrieve azure resources that are unknown.

`

  • name: Get CAN resource group facts by tags
    azure_rm_resourcegroup_facts:
    subscription_id: “{{az_customer_subscription_id}}”
    ad_user: “{{ad_user_login_var}}”
    password: “{{ad_password_var}}”
    tags:

  • type:CAN
    register: resource_groups

  • name: Set pca resource group name
    set_fact:
    rg: “{{ resource_groups.ansible_facts.azure_resourcegroups | map(attribute=‘name’) | list }}” #Dynamic resource group list

`

`

Register output from virtual machine inside unknown number of resource groups

  • name: Get VM info
    azure_rm_resource_facts:
    subscription_id: “{{az_customer_subscription_id}}”
    ad_user: “{{ad_user_login_var}}”
    password: “{{ad_password_var}}”
    resource_group: “{{ item }}”
    provider: compute
    resource_type: virtualMachines
    api_version: “2017-12-01”
    register: azure_virtualMachines
    loop: “{{ rg }}”

`

Now the problem is that the variable azure_virtualMachines contains a list that I don’t know how to query.

`

ok: [localhost] => {
“azure_virtualMachines”: {
“changed”: false,
“msg”: “All items completed”,

},

}
]
},
{

{
“id”: "/subscriptions//resourceGroups/rgname2/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/test2-vm”,
“location”: “westeurope”,
“name”: “test2-vm”,
}
]
}
}

`

How do get the output like this (don’t mind the json format):

`

“rgname1”: [
{
“id”: “/subscriptions/********/resourceGroups/rgname1/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/test-vm”,
“location”: “westeurope”,
“name”: “test-vm”,
}
],

“rgname2”: [
{
“id”: “/subscriptions/********/resourceGroups/rgname2/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/test2-vm”,
“location”: “westeurope”,
“name”: “test2-vm”,
}
]
