  vars:
    vm_list:
      - vm1
  tasks:

Hi Kiran,

Do you want to run this operation on specific VMs or all the VMs which are "guestToolsNotRunning" status?

Hi Kiran,

I did something like this -

---

- hosts: localhost

vars_files:

- vcenter_vars.yml

collections:

- community.vmware

- community.general

vars:

vm_list:

- debian_10_clone

- my_clone_deb_1

- test01

tasks:

- name: Get all tags

vmware_guest_info:

validate_certs: False

hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'

username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'

password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'

folder: /Asia-Datacenter1/vm/

name: "{{ item }}"

datacenter: Asia-Datacenter1

register: vm_info

with_items: "{{ vm_list }}"

- name: Tools status

set_fact:

desired_vms: "{{ vm_info.results | community.general.json_query(jmesquery) }}"

vars:

jmesquery: "[?instance.guest_tools_status == 'guestToolsNotRunning'].instance.hw_name"

- debug:

msg: "{{ desired_vms }}"
