Here is my playbook The return of output.stdout is a list that's why I call it by index of 0
- name: "GENERATE VERSION REPORT"
hosts: all
gather_facts: false
roles:
- ansible-network.network-engine
tasks:
- name: CAPTURE SHOW VERSION
ios_command:
commands:
- show version
register: output
- name: Display output
debug:
var: output.stdout
- name: PARSE THE RAW OUTPUT
command_parser:
file: "/home/nettools/ansible/parsers/show_version.yaml"
content: "{{ output.stdout[0] }}"
- name: DISPLAY THE PARSED DATA
debug:
var: version_facts
Here is the show_version.yaml file I use regex101.com to check and it is all ok but I get null value for all keys.

Why I am getting null value ?
CodePudding user response:
i think you have to set the option export:
- name: match version values
pattern_group:
- name: match name
pattern_match:
regex: "^(\\S ) uptime is"
content: "{{ item }}"
register: name
export: yes
Without this directive the variable and value contained will not be sent back to the playbook for further processing.
Second, i dont see the utility to have content: "{{ item }}"?
- name: match version values
pattern_group:
- name: match name
pattern_match:
regex: "^(\\S ) uptime is"
register: name
i suggest you to play the playbook with -vvv (very verbose) to trap some matching problems
so i see you have set export to playbook json_template, i think is right too..
EDIT
i think ^ its not seen as start of line
could you try: regex: "\n(\\S ) uptime is"
CodePudding user response:
I use the export yes in the pattern_group @frenchy and register the value in facts and it is working well. You have right I don't need item.
