Date in a Jinja template

[lift...@gmail.com]

I generate a report using a Jinja template file from one of my playbooks and mail that file to several users.  In it, I am putting the current date and time as follows:

Date generated: {{ now(false, '%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S') }}

---

{% for i in play_hosts | sort %}

Host: {{ i }}

      Rebooted: {{ hostvars[i]['rebooted']['rebooted'] }}

      Total reboot time: {{ hostvars[i]['rebooted']['elapsed'] }} seconds

---

{% endfor %}

When I get the email, the date is correct but the time is 7 hours off.  For example, the report was generated and mailed at 10:40:00am yesterday, but the time listed via the Jinja template above was 03:40:00.

Any ideas on how to get the time be in the current timezone?

Thanks,

Harry

I think now() is naive, i.e. it does not know about time zones.
If you need time zones, then I'd give 'ansible_date_time' a try.
