Hello
I am trying to gather facts (date and time) on the local machine
(Ansible
Host) using (local_action) before the rest of the playbook continues:
- name: Gathering and setting Facts for this deploy
local_action:
set_fact:
date_time: '{{ ansible_date_time.date }}_{{
ansible_date_time.time }}'
The correct syntax is
- name: Gathering and setting Facts for this deploy
local_action:
module: set_fact
date_time: '{{ ansible_date_time.date }}_{{ ansible_date_time.time
}}'
But this will not do what you are trying to do.
Since lookup is executed on the localhost you can use this task instead.
- name: Gathering and setting Facts for this deploy
set_fact:
date_time: '{{ lookup('pipe', 'date') }}'
With this task every host will have the variable date_time set to the
time of the Ansible control machine.
