how to compare two dates (possibly in different format) in jinja2 templates ?

[ishan jain]

I am writing a template in which the warning output is generated if the winRM certificate of target windows host is going to expire in 1 month. I just don't see a way how can i compare two dates in jinja2 template.

I have the winrm certificate expiration time in the fact - ansible_winrm_certificate_expires

Now the comparison will look something like this in template:

Check WinRM certificate

{% for i in play_hosts %}

{% if  hostvars[i].ansible_winrm_certificate_expires compared to current date %}

{{ i }}: Warning - WinRM certificate expires in 1 month

{% endif %}

{% endfor %}

Any way of comparing dates here ?
