Get exactly data from "stdout" or "stdout_lines" with exact words of output


I have a task

- name: DELEGATED ADMIN ACCOUNTS - check, get and send to the file domain.list
  shell: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -l gaaa -v zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount

and after this task I got output

changed: [Shrrah] => {
    "changed": true,
    "cmd": [
        "sh",
        "/home/information_domain.sh"
    ],
    "delta": "0:00:02.495922",
    "end": "2022-03-29 10:25:16.936051",
    "invocation": {
        "module_args": {
            "_raw_params": "sh /home/information_domain.sh",
            "_uses_shell": false,
            "argv": null,
            "chdir": null,
            "creates": null,
            "executable": null,
            "removes": null,
            "stdin": null,
            "stdin_add_newline": true,
            "strip_empty_ends": true,
            "warn": false
        }
    },
    "msg": "",
    "rc": 0,
    "start": "2022-03-29 10:25:14.440129",
    "stderr": "",
    "stderr_lines": [],
    "stdout": "# name admin@shrrah.esquimail.com\nzimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: FALSE\n\n# name prueba5@prueba5.com\n\n# name prueba7@prueba7.com\nzimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE\n\n# name prueba9@prueba9.com",
    "stdout_lines": [
        "# name admin@shrrah.esquimail.com",
        "zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: FALSE",
        "",
        "# name prueba5@prueba5.com",
        "",
        "# name prueba7@prueba7.com",
        "zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE",
        "",
        "# name prueba9@prueba9.com"
    ]
}

I need to get data with n# name prueba7@prueba7.com\nzimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE from "stdout" or from "stdout_lines" in format:

prueba7@prueba7.com zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE

or

prueba7@prueba7.com
zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE

and send it to the file.txt. Number of lines can be different (one o more users with domain).

I have no idea how I can do this, is this possible? If you know could you please help with advice? Thank you!


Solution

  • You may have a look into debug – Print statements during execution, Using Variables and Return Values.

    ---
    - hosts: localhost
      become: true
      gather_facts: false
    
      vars:
        RESULT:
          STDOUT_LINES:
            - "# name admin@shrrah.esquimail.com"
            - "zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: FALSE"
            - ""
            - "# name prueba5@prueba5.com"
            - ""
            - "# name prueba7@prueba7.com"
            - "zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE"
            - ""
            - "# name prueba9@prueba9.com"
    
      tasks:
    
      - name: Show STDOUT_LINES
        debug:
          msg: "{{ RESULT.STDOUT_LINES }}"
    

    resulting into an output only of

    TASK [Show STDOUT_LINES] *****************
    ok: [localhost] =>
      msg:
      - '# name admin@shrrah.esquimail.com'
      - 'zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: FALSE'
      - ''
      - '# name prueba5@prueba5.com'
      - ''
      - '# name prueba7@prueba7.com'
      - 'zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE'
      - ''
      - '# name prueba9@prueba9.com'
    

    and if Ansible Callback plugin is configured to YAML instead of JSON.

    To get lines containing certain strings only you may Loop over the list based on a Condition

      - name: Show lines with TRUE only
        debug:
          msg: "{{ item }}"
        when: "'TRUE' in item"
        loop: "{{ RESULT.STDOUT_LINES }}"
    

    resulting into an output of

    TASK [Show lines with TRUE only] *******************************
    ok: [localhost] => (item=zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE) =>
      msg: 'zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE'
    

    Further Documenation


    If you like to have the line before included, you could use an approach like

      - name: Show lines with TRUE and line before
        debug:
          msg: "{{ RESULT.STDOUT_LINES[ansible_loop.index0 - 1] }}\n{{ item }}"
        when: "'TRUE' in item"
        loop: "{{ RESULT.STDOUT_LINES }}"
        loop_control:
          extended: true
          label: "{{ ansible_loop.index0 }}"
    

    resulting into an output of

    TASK [Show lines with TRUE and line before] *************************************************************************************************************************************
    ok: [localhost] => (item=6) =>
      msg: |-
        # name prueba7@prueba7.com
        zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE
    

    Further Documentation


    Since you are using the shell module, you could use also an approach like

    - name: DELEGATED ADMIN ACCOUNTS - check, get and send to the file domain.list
      shell: 
        cmd: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -l gaaa -v zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount | grep -B 1 TRUE
    

    and gather only result lines which are true an the line before.
