Just looking for a bit of help.
Basically what I am trying do is create a file for each network interface my computer has with the filename being a combination of the interface name and mac address.
e.g.
For these interfaces
eth0 with mac 123-456-789
eth1 with mac 987-654-321
eth2 with mac 456-123-789
I expect 3 files created with names:
eth0_123-456-789
eth1_987-654-321
eth2_456-123-789
I currently have this playbook
- hosts: all tasks: - name: Create files block: - name: This gets me a list of all eth* interfaces shell: ls /sys/class/net/ | grep eth register: eth_interface - name: This gets the mac address for each of those eth* interfaces command: cat /sys/class/net/{{ item }}/address with_items: "{{ eth_interface.stdout_lines }}" register: mac_address - name: Add mac address to its relevant file command: touch /tmp/"{{ item.mac }}"_"{{ item.eth }}" with_items: - { eth: "{{ eth_interface.stdout_lines }}", mac: "{{ mac_address | json_query('results[*].stdout') }}" } I expected to get 3 separate files for each interface, but instead I got 1 single file with the name below: [u'123-456-789', u'987-654-321', u'456-123-789'][u'eth0', u'eth1', u'eth2']
It seems to work fine if I use just a single variable like either eth or mac, but breaks when I use the 2 variables together using with_items loop.
Can someone please help?
