Please advise how to use registered data from one task as variables for another task in the same playbook.
Playbook:
---
- name: RouterOS test with API
hosts: localhost
vars:
hostname: "some_host"
username: "api"
password: "some_password"
gather_subset: all
module_defaults:
group/community.routeros.api:
hostname: "{{ hostname }}"
password: "{{ password }}"
username: "{{ username }}"
tls: true
force_no_cert: false
validate_certs: false
validate_cert_hostname: false
tasks:
- name: Add wg tuns
ignore_errors: true
community.routeros.api:
path: "interface wireguard"
add: "name={{ item.name }} listen-port={{ item.port }} comment={{ item.comment }}"
loop:
- { name: 'wg1', port: '111', comment: 'com1' }
- { name: 'wg2', port: '222', comment: 'com2' }
- { name: 'wg3', port: '333', comment: 'com3' }
- name: Get wg link-local addrs
community.routeros.api:
path: ipv6 address
extended_query:
attributes:
- address
- interface
where:
- attribute: "interface"
is: "=="
value: "{{ item.name }}"
loop:
- { name: 'wg1' }
- { name: 'wg2' }
- { name: 'wg3' }
register: extended_queryout
- name: Dump "Extended query example" output
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: '{{ extended_queryout }}'
Playbook is creating 3 (via loop) wireguard interfaces and I need to use these interfaces link-local addresses as variables like wg1.address, wg2.address, wg3.address. Now I can only see a lot of output generated with
- name: Dump "Extended query example" output
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: '{{ extended_queryout }}'
like this:

How to set variable wg1.address value fe80::caa4:e31c:dd63:7598/64, variable wg2.address value fe80::c0eb:fadb:2da0:50f5/64 and wg3.address value fe80::28d1:7b9b:92:ed43/64.
Thank you in advance.
Expecting to see variable wg1.address value fe80::caa4:e31c:dd63:7598/64, variable wg2.address value fe80::c0eb:fadb:2da0:50f5/64 and wg3.address value fe80::28d1:7b9b:92:ed43/64.
You can access the mac address for each interface like this:
- name: Print mac address of iface wg1
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ extended_queryout.results|json_query('[0].msg[0].address') }}"
# see: -----^
- name: Print mac address of iface wg2
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ extended_queryout.results|json_query('[1].msg[0].address') }}"
# see: -----^
To store the value in a fact, use the set_fact module:
- name: Store the mac addresses as facts
ansible.builtin.set_fact:
wg1:
address: "{{ extended_queryout.results|json_query('[0].msg[0].address') }}"
wg2:
address: "{{ extended_queryout.results|json_query('[1].msg[0].address') }}"
wg3:
address: "{{ extended_queryout.results|json_query('[2].msg[0].address') }}"
