Dear All,

Can anyone please help/assist me to figure out the correct way of using variables in JSON.

I have a command where I am passing JSON as an argument but their is something going wrong.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,  
Alok

It's easier for people to help if you show actual error messages,  
playbook snippets and such.
