How To Filter Ansible Facts In Template And Playbook

[Isaiah Banks]

Hello. I am new to Ansible. I am trying to figure out how I can filter a list of ansible_facts in a template and playbook and get the information I directly need. I am trying to do this with json_query() plugin.

However, when I pass the ansible facts to the json_query() plugin in the playbook, it automatically strips out the keys. I am doing it like this:

- name: Filter ansible facts

  debug:

      msg: "{{ ansible_facts | json_query('*') }}"

This example is just so I can see what the plugin would return. I want to be able to query against the keys, then after that return the value of that key.

Thanks in advance.
