Without seeing the full playbook it is hard to actually confirm what you
are doing but it sounds like you have 2 plays in your playbook, 1 to get
the host info and add it, the other to run tasks on that new host. When you
run set_fact or register in a play, that variable/fact is only registered
for the hosts it is running on. If you were to run a 2nd play on a
different set of hosts those variables are no longer accessible like you
would do it normally. What you need to do is access those variables from
the hostvars dict and specify the original host, I'm going to guess the
first play is run on localhost so it would be *{{
hostvars['localhost']['endpoint'] }}*. Here is an example of it in action
- name: 1st play that runs on localhost and defines the var
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: set variable/fact on the first play for localhost
set_fact:
my_var: abc
- name: 2nd play that runs on another host
hosts: other-group
tasks:
- name: output my_var registered on localhost
debug:
var: hostvars['localhost']['my_var']
As you can see, the 2nd play runs on a different group and I use hostvars
to lookup the variables defined on localhost and finally get the my_var
variable.
Thanks
