Hi Folks,

Does anyone had an experience to use imc_rest module ? I'm trying to get information or output about hardware inventory . Say for example, I have equipmentPsu to check PSU status. however, the output is not showing when I run my playbook. is there a way to filter the attributes?

My playbook:

---

- hosts: mdhd

connection: local

gather_facts: no

vars_files:

- /etc/ansible/var.yml

tasks:

- name: validate service accounts

imc_rest:

hostname: "{{ imc_hostname }}"

username: "{{ imc_username }}"

password: "{{ imc_password }}"

protocol: https

timeout: 60

validate_certs: no

content: |

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

output:

PLAY [mdhd] **************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [validate PSUs] *****************************************************************************************************************

ok: [10.138.67.30]

PLAY RECAP ***************************************************************************************************************************************

10.138.67.30 : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When I check -vvv , seeing the below output.

"equipmentPsu": {

"attributes": {

"dn": "sys/rack-unit-1/psu-1",

"fwVersion": "12002216",

"id": "1",

"input": "80",

"voltage": "ok"

}

},

{

"equipmentPsu": {

"attributes": {

"dn": "sys/rack-unit-1/psu-2",

"fwVersion": "12002216",

I think you need to register the result of this module and then to some operation on it.

Such as debug to display it.

This is not specific to the imc_rest module:

I already tried to set register and debug but got the below error.

"msg": "Unsupported parameters for (imc_rest) module: register Supported parameters include: content, hostname, password, path, protocol, timeout, username, validate_certs

This is because your indentation is incorrect, so fix that.

That can be done with json_query:

This will give you a list of just the values:

"{{ disk_output|json_query('configResolveDn.children[0].outConfig.children[0].equipmentPsu.attributes|[dn,
id, operability, presence]') }}"

i.e.:

- sys/rack-unit-1/psu-1
- '1'
- operable
- equipped

Something like this will yield a dict that contains keys as well:

"{{ disk_output|json_query('configResolveDn.children[0].outConfig.children[0].equipmentPsu.attributes.{dn:
dn, id: id, operability: operability, presence:presence}') }}"

I.e.:

dn: sys/rack-unit-1/psu-1
id: '1'
operability: operable
presence: equipped

You're mixing up things, by using a vars argument that includes the
entire json_query filter itself, and then doing json_query on that,
which fails.
Either use a vars argument correctly, or don't use it at all.
See the examples on
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html#selecting-json-data-json-queries.
I would only use a vars argument if the query contains variables
itself, or lots of backticks etc.
This case does not warrant that.
