Need to get the network interface status.

[lish...@gmail.com]

Number of network interfaces varies in our environment and we have atleast 5 variants, hardcoding is not an option.

This playbook need to check {{ ansible_interfaces }} and then get the status of all available interfaces active status.

from the example snippet below

 "ansible_eth1": {

                                    "active": true,

                                    "device": "eth1",

I am trying to set_fact which should return the dict like

"eth1status_active" = "yes"

eth0status_active" = "no"

...

ethxstatus_active = 'xxx'

I have lost just before the last task

 tasks:

  - name: get filesystem

    setup: gather_subset=network

  - name: set fact network_interfaces

    set_fact: network_interfaces={{ ansible_interfaces }}

  - name: set fact

    set_fact: iface_item="ansible_{{ item }}"

    with_items: "{{ ansible_interfaces }}"

    register: iface_result

  - name: make a list

    set_fact: iface_list="{{ iface_result.results | map(attribute='ansible_facts.iface_item') | list }}"

  Please help me continue playing ..

You only need one task like this:

- set_fact:
"{{ item | replace('-', '_') }}status_active": "{{
hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_' + item | replace('-',
'_')].active }}"
with_items: "{{ ansible_interfaces }}"

The replace is needed since dash in variable names is not allowed.
