I have a play that runs against several switches and returns the output of:
- name: show int desc
ios_command:
commands: - “sh interfaces description | inc {{ mac_addr }}”
register: printout
Is there a way to exclude results from switches that return results containing the string “UPLINK”?
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, I’ve been playing with regex_findall in my testing trying to exclude any results that contain UPLINK using:
^((?!UPLINK).)*$
I get allot of errors such as:
unexpected templating type error or template error while templating string: unexpected
IE: don’t display the results from the results from switches like these examples:
ok: [switch20] => {
“printout”: {
“changed”: false,
“failed”: false,
“stdout”: [
“Gi1/0/25 up up UPLINK”
],
“stdout_lines”: [
[
“Gi1/0/25 up up UPLINK”
so hopefully it would only display this switch:
ok: [switch9] => {
“printout”: {
“changed”: false,
“failed”: false,
“stdout”: [
“Gi1/0/42 up up SEG 12 “
],
