Question:
I have variable named “network” registered in Ansible:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
{ "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?
|
1 2 |
- debug: var={{ network.addresses.private_man | filter type="fixed" | get "addr" }} |
I know the syntax is wrong but you get the idea.
Answer:
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:
|
1 2 |
- debug: msg="{{ addresses | json_query(\"private_man[?type=='fixed'].addr\") }}" |
would return:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
ok: [localhost] => { "msg": [ "172.16.1.100" ] } |
