[find module][mail module] Report only file name list

[Tran Khang]

Hi all,

I'm trying combine find module and mail module to report to my email only the list of files I need that were finded in specific folder. I try many ways but always receive full output. Do anyone can help?

My tasks

---
- name: check if tar files exists
  find:
    paths: "{{ bkPath }}"
    patterns: '*.tar'
  register: backup_existed

- name: results output
  debug:
    msg: "{{ item.path }}"
  with_items: "{{ backup_existed.files }}"
  register: backup_output

- name: Report through email
  mail:
    host: smtp.gmail.com
    port: 587
    username: my_g...@gmail.com
    password: SecretPass
    to: Khang Tran <my_working@email>
    subject: Ansible-Backup-Report
    body: >
      Backup files list:
      - {{ backup_output }}
    charset: utf-8
  delegate_to: localhost

Actually Email report:

Backup files list: - {'msg': u'/20190625/AS/mcpAcct.2019_06_25.16_46_45.tar', '_ansible_verbose_always': True, '_ansible_ignore_errors': True, '_ansible_item_label': {u'uid': 1003, u'woth': False, u'mtime': 1561456341.9453063, u'inode': 596799269, u'isgid': False, u'size': 3205120, u'roth': True, u'isuid': False, u'isreg': True, u'pw_name': u'labbackup', u'gid': 1003, u'ischr': False, u'wusr': True, u'xoth': False, u'rusr': True, u'nlink': 1, u'issock': False, u'rgrp': True, u'gr_name': u'labbackup', u'path': u'/20190625/AS/mcpAcct.2019_06_25.16_46_45.tar', u'xusr': False, u'atime': 1561456341.6703176, u'isdir': False, u'ctime': 1561456341.9453063, u'isblk': False, u'xgrp': False, u'dev': 64770, u'wgrp': True, u'isfifo': False, u'mode': u'0664', u'islnk': False}}, {'changed': False, '_ansible_no_log': False, 'item': {u'uid': 1003, u'woth': False, u'mtime': 1561456341.951306, u'inode': 596799270, u'isgid': False, u'size': 40960, u'roth': True, u'isuid': False, u'isreg': True, u'pw_name': u'labbackup', u'gid': 1003, u'ischr': False, u'wusr': True, u'xoth': False, u'rusr': True, u'nlink': 1, u'issock': False, u'rgrp': True, u'gr_name': u'labbackup', u'path': u'/20190625/AS/mcpAcct.2019_06_25.16_51_33.tar', u'xusr': False, u'atime': 1561456341.9463062, u'isdir': False, u'ctime': 1561456341.951306, u'wgrp': True, u'xgrp': False, u'dev': 64770, u'isblk': False, u'isfifo': False, u'mode': u'0664', u'islnk': False}, '_ansible_item_result': True, 'failed': False }

Expected Email report contain:

Backup files list:

- /20190625/AS/mcpAcct.2019_06_25.16_46_45.tar

- /20190625/AS/mcpAcct.2019_06_25.16_51_33.tar

Skip the debug task, and use backup_existed in your mail task.
You do have to filter that down to a list of files, and then iterate
over that in jinja in the body parameter.

Hi Visser,

I'm an ansible newbie, could you please help me in detail how to filter down and iterate in jinja in body parameter?

Regards,

Khang Tran

Remove the debug task.
And use this in the mail task:

body: >
Backup list
{% for file in backup_existed.files %}
- {{ file.path }}
{% endfor %}



You might need to tweak the newlines and formatting a bit.
