using ansible facts in key value

[Azir Guleroglu]

Hello,

I try to use ansible facts in variable file but i get below error. Anyone how any idea how can i use my variable in to the playbook

fatal: [ANSIBLET01]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {}, "ansible_included_var_files": [], "changed": false, "message": "Syntax Error while loading YAML.\n  found unacceptable key (unhashable type: 'AnsibleMapping')\n\nThe error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/yml/AzirPlaybooks/install/elk/elkvar.yml': line 1, column 12, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\nhostname: {{ ansible_hostname }}\n           ^ here\nWe could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with\nmissing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they\nstart a value. For instance:\n\n    with_items:\n      - {{ foo }}\n\nShould be written as:\n\n    with_items:\n      - \"{{ foo }}\"\n"}

My var file.

cat elkvar.yml

hostname: {{ ansible_hostname }}

network: {{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}

transport: {{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}

My part of playbook.

  tasks:

  - name: include dynamic variables

    include_vars: elkvar.yml

  - name: replace security

    lineinfile:

      path: /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

      insertafter: '#node.name: node-1'

      line: 'node.name: "{{ hostname }}"'

  - name: replace security

    lineinfile:

      path: /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

      insertafter: '#network.host: 192.168.0.1'

      line: 'network.host: {{ network }}'

  - name: replace security

    lineinfile:

      path: /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

      insertafter: 'http.cors.allow-origin'

      line: 'transport.host: {{ transport }}'

Actually anyone who reads the error message carefully ... you need double quotes around the curly braces.

hostname: "{{ ansible_hostname }}"
