Hi,

Need help to fetch output from the below output message.

Bascially I need to extract “packet\_loss”, “packets\_rx”, “packets\_tx”, “rtt\_avg”, “rtt\_max” & “rtt\_min” for each “item”.

Trying to use the code as

Code  
=============:

- debug:  
var: “{{ item[‘packet\_loss’] }}”  
with\_items: “{{ output.results }}”

May be you could try something like this. Register your output to some variable let’s call it X. Then try to debug like below example.  
Am exactly sure but, you can give a try.

var=“{X.results.\_ansible\_item\_label.{item}}”  
with\_item:

- packet\_lose
- packet\_rx

You mentioned you needed debug output and I linked the docs that mentioned how to do it.

Ok but it was stuck mostly with parsing the debug output.
