Ansible dynamic variable

[Kethzer Docteur]

Im trying to have ansible Update variable value base on OS distribution, but Im faling when I insert the rules in a template.
Any idea how to solve this?

---
- hosts: fansible,cansible
  vars:
    nagios_freebsd_load: -w 75,70,65 -c 90,85,80
    nagios_centos_load: -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
    nagios_server_load: vars['nagios_{{ ansible_distribution|lower }}_load']
  tasks:
    - name: Print server load variable 
      debug: msg="{{ nagios_server_load }}"
    - name: Print server load variable 
      debug: var="{{ nagios_server_load }}"
    - name: Copying file
      template:
        src: ~/ansitrial/load.conf
        dest: /tmp/load.conf

cat ~/ansitrial/load.conf 
{{ nagios_server_load }}

remote@fansible:~ % cat /tmp/load.conf 
vars['nagios_freebsd_load']

[remote@cansible ~]$ cat /tmp/load.conf 
vars['nagios_centos_load']

To make it work use
nagios_server_load: "{{ vars['nagios_' ~ ansible_distribution|lower ~
'_load'] }}"
