API Call output via Ansible URI Module Not Getting the Complete Output

[Pradeep Antil]

Hi Team,

I have a small playbook which connects to InfoBlox Server and collects useful data via API and then save API commands out to variable and later redirecting variable output to a log file.

Issue is that Variable is not getting all output but it captures only fraction of output. Any idea and suggestion how to capture complete output of API call and save it in log file in formatted way , just like Jason

Below is playbook:

---
- hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
    vars_files:
    - infoblox_pass.yml
  tasks:
    - name: Command to get Infoblox data
      uri:
        url: "https://x.x.x.x/wapi/v2.9/member?_return_fields%2B=node_info&_return_as_object=1"
        method: GET
        user: admin
        password: "xxxxxxx"
        validate_certs: no
      register: pool_members_resource

    - name: Command to get DNS & NTP Service Status of pool members
      uri:
        url: "https://x.x.x.x/wapi/v2.9/member?_return_fields%2B=service_status&_return_as_object=1"
        method: GET
        user: admin
        password: "xxxxxxxx"
        validate_certs: no
      register: pool_members_service_status

#    - debug:
#        msg: "{{ pool_members_service_status }}"
    - lineinfile:
        path: "/root/logs/infoblox-{{ dates }}.log"
        create: yes
        line: "{{ item }}"
      with_items:
        - "{{ pool_members_resource }}"
        - "{{ pool_members_service_status }}"

#- hosts: "{{ nagios_node }}"
#  gather_facts: false
#  tasks:
#    - copy:
#        src: "/root/logs/infoblox-{{ dates }}.log"
#        dest: /var/tmp/nagios_logs/infoblox/
#        owner: nagios
#        group: nagios
#

Have a look at the return_content parameter of the uri module

Thank You Very Much, it resolves my output capture issue.

Now content is saved in log file with the following format, is there any way to format that data while saving it a file. As you can see in the output below, in place of new line \n is printed.

{'content': '{\n    "result": [\n        {\n            "_ref": "member/bxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, \n            "config_addr_type": "IPV4", \n            "host_name": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", \n            "node_info": [\n                {\n                    "ha_status": "NOT_CONFIGURED", \n                    "hwid": "892A5BA7A1CB4AA9BEAB99A3ECC81116", \n                    "hwmodel": "", \n                    "hwplatform": "KVM", \n                    "hwtype": "IB-V825", \n                    "lan2_physical_setting": {\n                        "auto_port_setting_enabled": true\n                    }, \n                    "lan_ha_port_setting": {\n                        "ha_port_setting": {\n                            "auto_port_setting_enabled": true, \n                            "speed": "10"\n                        }, \n                        "lan_port_setting": {\n                            "auto_port_setting_enabled": true\n                        }\n                    }, \n                    "mgmt_network_setting": {\n                        "address": "xxxxxxx", \n                        "gateway": "xxxxxxxx", \n                        "subnet_mask": "255.255.255.248"\n                    }, \n                    "mgmt_physical_setting": {\n                        "auto_port_setting_enabled": true\n                    }, \n                    "paid_nios": false, \n                    "physical_oid": "0", \n                    "service_status": [\n                        {\n                            "description": "Running", \n                            "service": "NODE_STATUS", \n                            "status": "WORKING"\n                        }, \n                        {\n                            "description": "2% - Primary drive usage is OK.", \n                            "service": "DISK_USAGE", \n                            "status": "WORKING"\n                        }, \n                        {\n                            "description": "10.250.169.140", \n                            "service": "ENET_LAN", \n                            "status": "WORKING"\n                        }, \n                        {\n                            "description": "xxxxxxx", \n                            "service": "ENET_LAN2", \n                            "status": "WORKING"\n                        }, \n                        {\n                            "description": "10.250.169.132", \n                            "service": "ENET_MGMT", \n                            "status": "WORKING"\n                        }, \n                        {\n                            "description": "3% - Data
