When Condition use with Variables

[Pravin V]

Hello Everyone,

I've a task -

- name: Device Description

  uri:

      url: "{{ URL }}/api-db?username={{ USERNAME }};password={{ PASSWORD }};cmds=mget+*+{{ display_name }}+sys+SNMPv2-MIB.sysDescr"

      validate_certs: no

      method: GET

      return_content: yes

  register: get_descriptions

Debug Output 

- debug: msg="{{ get_descriptions.content }}"

ok: [localhost] => 

  msg: |-

   sw01 sys SNMPv2-MIB.sysDescr = Cisco IOS C2960S (C2960S-UNIVERSALK9-M) Version 12.2(55)SE7 RELEASE (fc1)

I'm able to configure the when to run only when - Cisco IOS C2960S found in the output

- debug: msg="{{ get_descriptions.content }}"

  when: "'Cisco IOS C2960S' in get_descriptions.content"

I've created a devices.yml

---

cisco10g:

- C2960S

- c2960x

- c3560x

- debug: msg="{{ cisco10g }}"

Output-

TASK [debug] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************

ok: [localhost] => 

  msg:

  - C2960S

  - c2960x

  - c3560x

  - ct5520

I want to check the entries of devices from the file and only run when it's found. Like below -

- debug: msg="{{ get_descriptions.content }}"

  when:  get_descriptions.content in cisco10g

When I'm writing the code this way. It is always skipping.

please advise

Thanks in advance.
