Thanks Kai. The output is working fine, it's more about the formatting.
For
example, with the following debug code, i receive the following;
Ansible is not a reporting tool so it has limit supported for nice
output on the screen.
You can put it in a file with the template module.
- debug:
msg: "{{ inventory_hostname }} has {{
available_updates.found_update_count }} updates available.
{% for key, value in
available_updates.updates.iteritems() %}
- KB: {{ value.title }}
{% endfor %}"
The first ting to do is losing the quotes and add a pipe, the pipe is
essential.
- debug:
msg: |
{{ inventory_hostname }} has {{
available_updates.found_update_count }} updates available.
{% for key, value in available_updates.updates.iteritems() %}
- KB: {{ value.title }}
{% endfor %}"
ok: [host1] => {
"msg": "host1 has 6 updates available. - KB: Update for Windows

}
What i'd like, is for the output to be formatted as below;
ok: [host1] => {
"msg": "host1 has 6 updates available.
- KB: Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3013769)
- KB: Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3102429)

10
and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 x64 Edition - November 2017

}
Is this possible?
To get an other output than the default one, you'll need to change the
stdout callback plugin[1].
If you use the debug, it output nice human readable text that you are
looking for, but it will be more verbose.
You could check out and test the other to see if them give you the
output you want or you could write your own.
