I think you should try using the inventory_hostname variable for that. It'll return those serverXX names you defined. If you need more vars per host, I would use host_vars. https://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_best_practices.html#group-and-host-variables Giovanni -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
