Json parsing in Ansible

There are quite a bit of helpful filters in Ansible.

Try: when: (output_text.stdout | from_json).ismaster

Brother Coder, honestly I got a better Method, because for 3 weeks I just could not parse it with ansible filters as it was to complicated and never worked. I just curled the FILE and used JQ parser with regex. The only thing that is required is that JQ PARSER has to be installed on the server:

To do it with ANSIBLE:

Use host prompt to choose the envid in the

1. curl file like this:

• name: Get json fileshell: curl --output file.json -k -O https://example.tp.com/services/getMasterExtract.php?env_id={{envid}}&product=all&du=all&format=json&resolved=trueargs:chdir: /tmp/

2. Extract the Value:

• name: get value from fileshell: cat file.json | jq '.globals.environments.{{envid}}."legacy-claimcenter-hostname"' | sed 's/"//g'args:chdir: /tmp/register: apiaccountclaims

3. Register as Variable :

• name: set-fact1set_fact:claims1: "{{ apiaccountclaims.stdout }}"

  4. USE IT ANYWHERE:

• name: Enter service tdiapiaccountclaimsshell: sudo /usr/share/jbossas/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --command='/system-property=tdigi.api.uri.edge.account.claims:add(value={{ claims1 }})'

Here is the playbook:

• hosts: "{{ hosts | default('all') }}"become: true

  vars_prompt: - name: "envid" prompt: "Please put env ID"

  tasks:

   - name: Get json file   shell: curl --output file.json -k -O  https://example.tp.com/services/getMasterExtract.php?env_id={{envid}}&product=all&du=all&format=json&resolved=true   args:     chdir: /tmp/ - name: get value from file   shell: cat file.json | jq '.globals.environments.{{envid}}."legacy-claimcenter-hostname"' | sed 's/"//g'   args:     chdir: /tmp/   register: tdiapiaccountclaims - name: set-fact1   set_fact:     claims1:  "{{ apiaccountclaims.stdout }}" - name: copy command file   copy:    src:  "cli/systemprops2-2.cli"    dest: "/opt/jboss/profiles/{{jboss_profile}}/configuration/" - name: backup standalone-full.xml   shell:  cp "/opt/jboss/profiles/{{jboss_profile}}/configuration/standalone-full.xml" "/opt/jboss/profiles/{{jboss_profile}}/configuration/standalone-full.xml.backup.old" - name: Delete Configs in file of standalone-full.xml   shell:  sudo /usr/share/jbossas/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --file=systemprops2-2.cli   args:     chdir: /opt/jboss/profiles/{{ jboss_profile }}/configuration   register: delvar - name: Enter service tdiapiaccountclaims   shell: sudo /usr/share/jbossas/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --command='/system-property=tdigi.api.uri.edge.account.claims:add(value={{ claims1 }})'
