Trying to gather facts to write to local file on ansible server

[Chris Bidwell - NOAA Federal]

Hi all!

So this has worked at one point but is no longer.  

I'm trying to gather information on each of my rhel clients and write that information to one file on my answer server.  

Here is my playbook:

---    
- hosts: 'ALL_LINUX'
  become: yes

  become_method: sudo
  vars_files:
    - passwd.yml
    - vars.yml
       
  vars:
    - RHEL_INV: "/home/chris.bidwell/rhel_inventory"
    - VAR: "{{ hostvars[item].facter_virtual }}"
       
  tasks:
    - name: Workstation or Server?
      shell: cat /etc/redhat-release | awk '{print $5}'
      register: rh_type
      tags: name
       
    - name: Append to file
      lineinfile:
        dest: "{{ RHEL_INV }}"
        line: "{{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }},{{ inventory_hostname }},{{ ansible_default_ipv4.macaddress }},{{ansible_distribution }}, {{ ansible_distribution_major_version }}, {{ rh_type.stdout }}"
        insertafter: EOF
        create: yes
      delegate_to: localhost
       
    - debug:
        msg: "{{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }},{{ inventory_hostname }},{{ ansible_default_ipv4.macaddress }},{{ ansible_distribution }} {{ ansible_distribution_major_version }} {{ rh_type.stdout }}"
      with_items: "{{ ansible_play_hosts }}"

Where my output is saying:

chris.bidwell@atsb-swpc-pup-svr-lx:roles$ ap rhel_inventory.yml -K --limit 'rhel8-base-lx'
BECOME password:

Your output doesn't match the provided play, however, I'm guessing you need a `become: no` on the task that has `delegate_to: localhost` on it.

I’m over at FTC. Give me your email at NOAA and I’ll forward you the playbook I use.

Don't really need a play, just:

ansible -m gather_facts --tree /dir/with/json/file/per/host/ all
