I have variable named "network" registered in Ansible:
{
"addresses": {
"private_ext": [
{
"type": "fixed",
"addr": "172.16.2.100"
}
],
"private_man": [
{
"type": "fixed",
"addr": "172.16.1.100"
},
{
"type": "floating",
"addr": "10.90.80.10"
}
]
}
}
Is it possible to get the IP address ("addr") with type="floating" doing something like this?
- debug: var={{ network.addresses.private_man | filter type="fixed" | get "addr" }}
I know the syntax is wrong but you get the idea.
I've submitted a pull request (available in Ansible 2.2+) that will make this kinds of situations easier by adding jmespath query support on Ansible. In your case it would work like:
- debug: msg="{{ addresses | json_query(\"private_man[?type=='fixed'].addr\") }}"
would return:
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
"172.16.1.100"
]
}
