How to capture module_args in a variable

[Shreya Bhardwaj]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to capture the data present in the module_args. 

But when I register the output in a variable, I don't get the invocation{module_args} part in it.

The way we access ansible facts:  {ansible facts['whatever you want to know']['xyz']}

Is there a way to access the module_args in the playbook or use them in conditionals somehow?

Thanks!

module_args accepts user input. That means those are already with the user. I am not sure how that will be useful. Can you provide a use case?

Sure.

When I run a playbook,  the output I get on the shell  includes something like:

"ansible_facts": {

        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"

    },

    "changed": false,

    "invocation": {

        "module_args": {

            "capacity": null,

            "controller_id": null,

              .

              so on

              .

 }

    },

    "msg": "Successfully completed the view storage volume operation",

    "storage_status": {

        "Message": {

when I register, the output I get is just the "msg" block, whereas I wish to capture the invocation/module_args block

The module_args block contains some information that I need to make use of.

I hope I was able to explain.

Hi Shreya,

I am afraid that I am not aware of anything like this.

This is not possible, mostly for security reasons, once in a variable
we have no way to secure secrets/passwords flagged as 'no_log' in the
action itself.
