Hi,

Am writing a logic to get the list of servers running more than n number of day’s. I tried to store the result in a set_fact variable but it’s not storing the values properly mean it including the skipped values in the set_facts. How to fix this?

  • name: Compare the times
    set_fact:
    temp: “{{ ec2.instances | map(attribute=‘instance_id’) | list }}”
    when: ((ansible_date_time.iso8601[:19] | to_datetime(fmt) - item.launch_time[:19] | to_datetime(fmt)).days >= 1)
    with_items: “{{ ec2.instances }}”
    vars:
    fmt: “%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S”
    register: timestamp1
    loop_control:
    label: “{{ item.instance_id }}”

Below is the ouput:

`TASK [Compare the times] *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

]
}

Expected output:

“stage-scoring-202008261826362494”,
]
}

The above code returns all the values rather than condition met values. i mean it includes the skipped values. How to get only matched or task is ok values.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Thanks !
