Formatting the output by line by line

[Veera]

Hi,

My play book print the debug output as below 

TASK [Print the  status of the server] *******************************************************************************************

ok: [localhost] => {

    "msg": [

        "Extension Message: Patching Successful. [ActivityId=xxxxxxx-1f8f-4e44-95af-xxxxxxxxxxxx], OperationResult: {\"activityId\": \"xxxxxxx-1f8f-4e44-95af-xxxxxxxxxxxx\", \"sequenceNumber\": 8, \"inputStartTime\": \"2023-08-28T05:45:40.500520Z\", \"lastModifiedTime\": \"2023-08-28T06:14:43.449672Z\", \"extensionTriggerTime\": \"2023-08-28T05:45:53.268037Z\", \"osName\": \"CentOS Stream\", \"osVersion\": \"8\", \"action\": \"Patching\", \"actionStatus\": \"Success\", \"patchServiceUsed\": \"YUM\", \"errors\": null, \"patchDetails\": {\"rebootNeeded\": true, \"rebootStatus\": \"Completed\", \"maintenanceWindowExceeded\": false, \"retriggerCount\": 61, \"notSelectedPatchCount\": 0, \"pendingPatchCount\": 0, \"installedPatchCount\": 98, \"failedPatchCount\": 0, \"patches\": \"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=\", \"excludedPatchCount\": 0}, \"assessmentDetails\": {\"countByCategory\": {\"security\": 0, \"other\": 0}, \"totalCount\": 0, \"patches\": \"XXXXXXXXXXXXX==\", \"rebootPending\": null}, \"logs\": \"yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"}"

    ]

}

 

I need to break the output  like below

Extension Message: Patching Successful. [ActivityId=xxxxxxx-1f8f-4e44-95af-xxxxxxxxxxxx]
OperationResult: activityId: xxxxxxx-1f8f-4e44-95af-xxxxxxxxxxxx
sequenceNumber: 8
inputStartTime: 2023-08-28T05:45:40.500520Z
lastModifiedTime: "2023-08-28T06:14:43.449672Z

and so on.. 

[dulh...@mailbox.org]

wondering whether stdout_callback: yaml in the ansible.cfg might be doing that

Hi ,

 Sorry ... No ansible.cfg  involved.

After multiple filtering  of (the output) I  reached to this output. 

I want to enhance it further .  

[dulh...@mailbox.org]

no ansible.cfg involved seems impossible to me.

 

ansible --version | grep 'ansible.cfg' (in the location you run the playbook from) should reveal which one is effective.

 

Or am I understanding something badly wrong here?

 

[Veera]

my ansible.cfg is a custom one which I am using from the same location and it has no more specific lines to format.

$ansible --version | grep 'ansible.cfg'
  config file = /home/myuser/ansible/ansible.cfg
$pwd
/home/myuser/ansible/
$ cat ansible.cfg
[defaults]
inventory = ./inventory
host_key_checking = False
$

[dulh...@mailbox.org]

so, my suggestion was to add

 

stdout_callback = yaml to the [defaults] section of that file and see whether the output suits you better.

Could you please back up a step and show the debug task that's producing this?
If it's just a string, then you'll have to do some sort of pattern matching and replacement operations on that string.
On the other hand, if it's a data structure, you can do quite a bit of filtering and templating with Jinja2 to produce the output you seek.
But without seeing what you're starting from, there's no way to make a reasonable suggestion.
