How To Get Hostname, OS and Version From Ansible Facts In A List Format?

[Marcus Hayhurst]

Hello everyone,

I'm attempting to get a list of information of all my machines to send in an email:

Hostname - OS (and) Version 

so essentially:

{{ ansible_hostname }} - {{ ansible_distribution }} {{ ansible_distribution_version }} 

I tried something like this but it does not work:

- name: SET FACT FOR ANSIBLE FACTS

  set_fact:

    machine_os: "{{ ansible_facts }}"

#

#

- name: DISTRIBUTION AND MAJOR VERSION

  debug:

    msg: "{% for os in machine_os %}{{ os.ansible_hostname }} - {{ os.ansible_distribution }} {{ os.ansible_distribution_version }}{% endfor %}"

Would anyone know how I could generate this list of information for all my machines to send via email?

Can you show me the error message?

Please give this a try:

- name: Collect information on all machines
set_fact:
machine_info: |
{% for host in ansible_play_hosts %}
{{ hostvars[host]['ansible_hostname'] }} - {{ hostvars[host]['ansible_distribution'] }} {{ hostvars[host]['ansible_distribution_version'] }}
{% endfor %}
run_once: yes
