concatenate multiple results

[David Villasmil]

Hellos guys,

I have a result from ec2_instance_facts, and i can get the ip addresses like:

  - name: Get IP addresses from results
    set_fact:
      inject_ips: “{{ facts_output | json_query(‘instances[].public_ip_address’) }}”

and that gives me something like:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "inject_ips": [
            "1.2.3.4",
            "1.2.3.4",
            "1.2.3.4"
        ]

    },
    "changed": false
}

but i need the list to include the name, like:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "inject_ips": [
            "1.2.3.4,name1",

            "1.2.3.4,name2",

            "1.2.3.4,name3"

        ]

    },
    "changed": false
}

I can also get the name with:

  - name: Get IP addresses from results
    set_fact:
      inject_ips: “{{ facts_output | json_query(‘instances[].tags[].Name’) }}”

But i don't know how to concatenate them, i tried:

  - name: Get IP addresses from results
    set_fact:
      inject_ips: “{{ facts_output | json_query(‘instances[].public_ip_address’) }},{{ facts_output | json_query(‘instances[].tags[].Name’) }}”

which gives me:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "inject_ips": [
            [
                "1.2.3.4",
                "1.2.3.4",
                "1.2.3.4",
                "1.2.3.4"
            ],
            [
                "name1",
                "name2",
                "name3",
                "name4"
            ]
        ]
    },
    "changed": false
}

The point is to then use it like:

  - name: execute to add the ips
    command: “exec item[ip] item[name]”
    run_once: true
    with_items:
      - “{{ inject_ips }}”

Right now I'm splitting them by comma ","

Any suggestion is welcomed!

Help is very appreciated!

Thanks

David.

Why split them up, why not just use facts_output directly.

- name: execute to add the ips

command: “exec item.public_ip_address item.tags.Name”
run_once: true
with_items:
- “{{ facts_output.instances }}”

A little correction
