I created a ansible playbook. playbook works fine. It creates several droplets in different regions. The problem is the debug section. As you can see the debugging iterates fthrough the droplets and should display the ip_address. The output shows me the whole json code from droplets and in the end the desired message. how can I filter the whole code and display the ip_address of the droplets ?
Thanks for help.
Ansible Playbook:
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Create Test Host at Digital Ocean
digital_ocean:
state: present
command: droplet
ssh_key_ids: *************
name: "{{ item.name }}"
api_token: *****************
size_id: 512mb
region_id: "{{ item.regions }}"
image_id: ubuntu-14-04-x64
unique_name: yes
wait_timeout: 500
with_items:
- {name: "bfh01", regions: "nyc1"}
- {name: "bfh02", region: "fra1"}
- {name: "bfh03", region: "sgp1"}
- {name: "bfh04", region: "sfo1"}
register: droplet
- debug:
msg="IP is {{ item.droplet.ip_address }}"
with_items:
- "{{ droplet.results }}"

As you’ve seen, Ansible is overly verbose when looping over a hashed variable and will print out its entire contents. (See this GitHub issue for other examples and some general work-a-rounds.)
How I’ve gotten around this in the past is to use Jinja’s map filter on the results to just grab the value I want. For example, to just have the IP address:
This produces the output:
Which is still a bit more verbose than desired, but much more reasonable to deal with.
