Filter_data manipulation of the debug output .

[Veera]

From the below debug module , I try filter the ouput

- name:  status of the output
  debug:
    msg: "status  of {{serverName}} is  {{ [9] | map('extract', stat_out[0].split(',')) }}"
      register: server_status    

 
The output is

TASK [status of the output] *******************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] =>
  msg: 'status  of client11  is  ['' "Status": "Completed"'']'

 
 
 and when  I try to  still filter the output , but missing a delimiter (like cut -d: -f1).
 

 Expecting the output as below . 
   msg: 'status  of the server client11.example.com  is  [Completed]'

Any String(Word) like Completed or Failed to be captured in []

can you provide a bit more context, i.e. where does the variable `stat_out` comes from.

Or maybe even better prodvide what debugging the entire variable throws at you

 

   debug:

     var: stat_out

 

in order to see the data structur you are getting

Here is the  stat_out details 

- ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    stat_out: "{{ uri_result['json']['resources'] | selectattr('name', '==','LinuxOsUpdateExtension') | map(attribute='properties') |map(attribute='instanceView')|map(attribute='status')|map(attribute='message') }}"
