=======================

ansible --version

- name: All the hosts

  hosts: all

  gather_facts: false

  connection: paramiko

  tasks:

   - name: items

     raw:  "{{ item }}"

     register: linux_os

     with_items:

       - uname -a

       - netstat -rn

       

   - name:  Do something with each result

     local_action: template src= {{ item.stdout }} dest=/home/openstack/Documents/{{inventory_hostname}}.txt

      with_items: "{{ linux_os.stdout_lines }}"
