I am running an ansible playbook which outputs the informations in JSON. This array has a loop that has multiple not identical keys like "/VRF1/192.168.10.10" with different values. Please see below, I am interested in the "address", "name", "monitor_status", "availability_status", "status_description" and "session_status" :
ok: [1.1.1.1] => {
"BigIP_facts": {
"ansible_facts": {
"node": {
"/VRF1/10.10.10.10": {
"address": "10.10.10.10",
"connection_limit": 0,
"description": "",
"dynamic_ratio": 1,
"monitor_rule": {
"monitor_templates": [
"/VRF1/icmp-60s"
],
"quorum": 0,
"type": "MONITOR_RULE_TYPE_SINGLE"
},
"monitor_status": "MONITOR_STATUS_DOWN",
"name": "10.10.10.10",
"object_status": {
"availability_status": "AVAILABILITY_STATUS_RED",
"enabled_status": "ENABLED_STATUS_ENABLED",
"status_description": "/VRF1/icmp-60s: No successful responses received before deadline. @2019/09/20 13:04:38. "
},
"rate_limit": 0,
"ratio": 1,
"session_status": "SESSION_STATUS_ENABLED"
},
"/VRF1/20.20.20.20": {
"address": "20.20.20.20",
"connection_limit": 0,
"description": "",
"dynamic_ratio": 1,
"monitor_rule": {
"monitor_templates": [
"/Common/gateway_icmp"
],
"quorum": 0,
"type": "MONITOR_RULE_TYPE_SINGLE"
},
"monitor_status": "MONITOR_STATUS_DOWN",
"name": "20.20.20.20",
"object_status": {
"availability_status": "AVAILABILITY_STATUS_RED",
"enabled_status": "ENABLED_STATUS_ENABLED",
"status_description": "/Common/gateway_icmp: No successful responses received before deadline. @2019/09/20 13:04:58. "
},
"rate_limit": 0,
"ratio": 1,
"session_status": "SESSION_STATUS_ENABLED"
}
}
}
}
}
The dict2items filter is the way you work around that:
- name: show the monitor statuses
debug:
msg: >-
{{ BigIP_facts.ansible_facts.node
| dict2items
| map(attribute="value.monitor_status")
| list }}
Substituting your own map() in there, or {% for kv in (BigIP_facts.ansible_facts.node | dict2items) %} if it's easier to work with imperative code
