trying to pass variable to hosts

[madha...@gmail.com]

I am trying to pass a variables to the hosts in a play

- name: include vars

  hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  tasks:

    - include_vars:

        dir: '../group_vars'

        depth: 1

- name: debug

  hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  tasks:

    - debug: msg="{{ kfkahost0 }}"

- name: Create topic

  hosts: "{{ kfkahost0 }}"

  tasks:

   # - name: include vars

   # - include_vars: dir="../group_vars" depth="1"

          #dir: '../group_vars'

          #depth: 1

                                     

    - shell: ./app/bin/kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper {{ zkhost0 }}:2181 --create --topic {{ topic }} --partitions {{ partition }} --replication-factor {{ rpfactor }}

                                                                     42,3          Bot

in the debug step i see the hostname comes out in the msg fine 

but in the next play it says kfkahost0 is undefined.

Those variables are set on localhost , not kfkahost0.

Why don't you just put your kafka host in a group and use group_vars?

Use hostvars, like: {{ hostvars['localhost']['kfkahost0'] }}
