Ping module status in CSV

[Vandana Thakur]

Hello Team,

I have  created a csv for gathered facts of linux and  windows targets.

Now i am trying to add a column with Ping module status and result code if it fails.

I  wrote this play in the role- this is for linux targets :

---
    - ping:
      register: result

    - debug: var=hostvars[inventory_hostname].result

    - setup:
      delegate_facts: True

    - lineinfile:
        create: yes
        dest: /{{csv_log}}/setup.csv
        line: "Ping,Hostname,CPU_Architecture,OS,OS_VERSION,Customer_name,Location,Project"
        state: present
      delegate_to: localhost
      delegate_facts: True

    - lineinfile:
        create: yes
        regexp: "NONEXISTENTLINE"
        dest: /{{csv_log}}/setup.csv
        line: "{{ping_res.stdout_lines}},{{hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_default_ipv4']['address']}},{{ inventory_hostname }},{{ ansible_architecture }},{{ ansible_distribution }},{{ ansible_distribution_version }}"
        state: present
      delegate_to: localhost
      delegate_facts: True

BUT the issue is , it gives all the output like :

[root@vuhplabspawx001 tasks]#   cat  /tmp/setup.csv
Ping,Hostname,CPU_Architecture,OS,OS_VERSION,Customer_name,Location,Project

[u'PING vuhplabspawx001 (172.20.24.188) 56(84) bytes of data.', u'64 bytes from vuhplabspawx001 (172.20.24.188): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.039 ms', u'', u'--- vuhplabspawx001 ping statistics ---', u'1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms', u'rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.039/0.039/0.039/0.000 ms'],

172.20.24.188,vuhplabspawx001,x86_64,CentOS,7.2.1511
[root@vuhplabspawx001 tasks]#

How can i  sort this description to  only status and  result code  if  it  fails.

Thanks in advance.:)

Maybe use the value of "ping_res.rc".  It's the return code of the command; so it would be "0" for success.

Eg:

{{ (ping_res.rc|int == 0) | ternary('UP', 'DOWN') }}

Thanks , but how can i register this status simultaneously, since i need to call that status in csv . 

Also  can i grep  a specifuc string from ping module output n then  define a customised result code and set that result code value in csv ? 

Thanks :)

Further, to  customize this.

I  now have the ping module output for target hosts.

Now haw can i  decide result code in the ping output.

Like eg, if  A(some string) is  present in the ping output then Register RC = x

if  B(some string) is  present in the ping output then Register RC =y

these registered  values to  be called in the  above  csv .

I  tried ternary  expressions(as suggested)  but  i  don't know how to fetch the above condition .

Thanks  for the  help.
